IWC Schaffhausen
Airspeeder
IWC Schaffhausen and Airspeeder share a passion for engineering, pioneering technical solutions, innovation, teamwork, design and sustainability. This engineering and timekeeping partnership brings together the dream of flying with an exhilarating aviation competition – combining IWC’s legacy in manufacturing robust and reliable pilot’s watches with the brand’s passion for racing.
Nothing accelerates innovation like raw sporting competition. This belief is at the foundation of Airspeeder, the world’s first motorsport series for electric flying cars. Together with a team of leading technical minds, founder Matt Pearson is enabling a dream of establishing a full grid of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Engineered with a focus on performance and agility, these “Speeder” octocopters will compete closely and safely at a top speed of 200 km/h, fully controlled by a human pilot. Pearson’s vision is to use Airspeeder to accelerate the shift to more sustainable clean-air mobility technologies, eventually transforming aerial passenger transport, logistics and medical applications.
