Introducing: The Fully Luminous IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic 41 Black Aces
Founded in 1868 by Boston watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, IWC Schaffhausen can look back at more than a century and a half of watchmaking history. More than half of that has involved watches made for aviation, whether military or commercial. Its first-ever pilot’s instrument was made in 1936, and ever since, the company has been dedicated to the world of aviation (even though it does much more than that).

In case you were wondering what kind of watch Dutch football coach Louis van Gaal was wearing during the FIFA World Cup in Brasil, it’s a Dutch watch, made by none other than Dutch watchmaker Christiaan van der Klaauw. And if that isn’t cool and exclusive enough, Louis Van Gaal’s watch is a limited edition of 25 pieces and we found one for sale.?Maybe you do the same.

It was a tough one… Ad - Scroll to continue with article
