IWC Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Edition 'Le Petit Prince

 

Quick Take


What we have here is a solid gold perpetual calendar chronograph that sits right near the top of IWC's most complicated timepieces. It's also a special edition in the Petit Prince sub-collection, named for the classic children's book written by the French aviator and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and characterized by midnight blue dials. This is also the second appearance of the IWC 89630 movement that debuted in IWC's Da Vinci line, and the first time that IWC has offered a perpetual calendar chronograph as a pilot's watch. At 43mm in diameter and close to 16mm thick, this is no doubt a large watch, but that's in keeping with IWC's design style. This is a complicated watch, for sure, but it's also a sports watch through and through.(IWC Pilot replica watch)


Initial Thoughts


Who needs a perpetual calendar while flying a plane? If you're asking that question, then may just be missing the point of this red gold pilot's watch. Recognizing that the watches they make are as much about style and collectors' interest in watchmaking complications as about sheer utility, IWC has long been a pioneer in pairing horologically impressive mechanisms associated with dress watches with sport and tool watch cases.

The perpetual calendar is also a very special complication to IWC. It was the company's legendary design engineer Kurt Klaus who pioneered an innovative way to construct this complex mechanism around the base of of a Valjoux 7750, making the perpetual calendar more affordable and therefore more accessible to a greater number of collectors. This history of innovation in the perpetual calendar has made it a go-to complication for IWC, and one that is seen across several product families and types of watches.
