THE SHOCK ABSORBER
It was one of the highlights at Watches & Wonders 2021: The Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber XPL (Ref. IW357201). But what is the system behind it? How does it work exactly? And what inspired the watch and its design? In this episode, Lorenz Brunner tackles one question after another about the development behind this innovative timepiece.
THE ALL-CERATANIUM® PERPETUAL CALENDAR
Combining one of the most venerable complications with the latest state-of-the-art material is a bold move. To harness it with a sporty bracelet made of said material - possibly even more so. Lorenz Brunner explains the reasons behind creating the all-Ceratanium® Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar TOP GUN Ceratanium® (Ref. IW503604).
