In continuation of a relationship that has spanned many years, IWC Schaffhausen is launching a new watch in honour of an aviation legend
Exactly 70 years ago, pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry took off on a reconnaissance flight over France and never returned. Now, IWC Schaffhausen is commemorating the last flight of the celebrated airman and author with three special limited editions, and in doing so strengthening its long-standing partnership with Saint-Exupéry's descendants.
To cement the fact, all proceeds from the sale of the platinum Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition 'The Last Flight' at an auction later this year will benefit the charitable Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth Foundation.
