The “Pilot's Watch Automatic 36 ”Petit Prince'" has been released.
“Le Petit Prince” takes its name from the original title of *The Little Prince*, written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. IWC Schaffhausen entered into a partnership agreement with the Saint-Exupéry Foundation approximately 20 years ago. Since then, the brand has been developing a collection that pays homage to this timeless classic.
A common design feature across all these models is the deep blue dial, reminiscent of the inky blackness of space, and the case back engraved with the familiar illustration of the prince. The sunray-finished dial, combined with gold-plated hands and white hour markers, is a sight you never tire of looking at.

The case measures 36 mm in diameter and is crafted from stainless steel. The calfskin strap echoes the color of the dial. The simple, compact face reveals a mysterious color palette and a playful touch on the case back.
The buckle at the end of the plain strap is engraved with the letters “IWC.”
The movement is Caliber 32102, with a power reserve of approximately 120 hours. It is water-resistant to 100 meters.
Saint-Exupéry was also renowned as a pilot. He is the perfect partner for IWC Schaffhausen, a brand that has soared to success with its pilot’s watches.
A portion of the proceeds from Petit Prince is donated to help underprivileged children.
