Schaffhausen-based watchmaker IWC introduces the Pilot’s Watch newest model with the Double Chronograph “Le Petit Prince” Edition. This special edition watch honors the famous 20th century poet, writer and pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry who wrote the famous novella, Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince).
