Welcome to the Next Space Age.
Welcome to the Next Space Age.
Beyond the Sky – and into Space.
From the pioneering days of flight to today’s fast jets, IWC Schaffhausen has profoundly shaped the field of Pilot’s Watches. As early aviators took to the skies, the company developed highly precise instrument watches engineered to meet the exacting demands of pilots and navigators. Later, the Big Pilot’s Watch firmly established the distinctive cockpit instrument–inspired dial design within the luxury watch segment – eventually evolving into one of the most iconic watch designs ever created.
Today, IWC’s Pilot’s Watches are versatile modern sports watches, offered in a comprehensive and ever-expanding range of sizes, materials, and colours. At the same time, they continue to demonstrate the brand’s engineering pedigree and materials expertise in the most demanding environments, including naval aviation.
For IWC, however, the sky is not the limit – it is only the beginning. At the dawn of the next space age, the brand sets its sights on the ultimate frontier, venturing beyond Earth and into space. For the first time, the company presents a tool watch engineered from the ground up to meet the unique demands of human spaceflight and timekeeping in orbit.
Follow IWC’s remarkable journey from the early days of flight – through conquering the air and the hearts of watch enthusiasts worldwide – to taking the next giant leap forward into space. Discover the watches, technologies, and people that have shaped this enduring legacy in aviation.

Pilot’s Venturer Vertical Drive
At the dawn of the age of commercial space exploration, IWC Schaffhausen presents the first mechanical watch engineered from the ground up for human spaceflight and timekeeping in orbit. The Pilot’s Venturer Vertical drive has been tested by IWC’s partner Vast and is certified for flight to Haven-1, scheduled to become the world’s first commercial space station.
Perpetual Calendar ProSet
The new Perpetual Calendar ProSet addresses one of the last remaining challenges in perpetual calendar design: full forward and backward adjustability through a single crown position. A completely new module architecture, based entirely on gears and protected by five patents, makes calendar adjustments as intuitive as setting the time.
Le Petit Prince
With its new ‘Le Petit Prince’ collection, IWC Schaffhausen celebrates 90 years of Pilot’s Watches and two decades of collaboration with the heirs of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of one of literature’s most enchanting works. All novelties feature deep-blue sunburst dials and charming design details depicting the beloved protagonist.
