Description

The “Le Petit Prince” collection commemorates the literary work of the author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, whose wonderful story “The Little Prince” is one of the best-selling books in literary history. Saint-Exupéry, in addition to being a world-famous author, was also a pioneering aviator, a successful commercial pilot before World War II, before joining the French Air Force at the start of the war, flying reconnaissance missions.

All IWC Edition “Le Petit Prince” watches are easily recognizable thanks to their signature blue dial, slightly more elegant approach to design that a classic Flieger watch and stylized Arabic numerals. Today’s watch makes no exception to the rule and adds some pretty cool mechanical functions, including a rather unique bezel/wearer interaction.
