Introducing: The MING 21.01... 35mm, Tantalum, Vintage Piguet Movement
Watches, like most products from industrial activities, are ruled by constraints and compromises – whether these are commercial, technological, design-oriented or economical. This is why we, watch enthusiasts, can often be rather disappointed by many new releases. Surely, independent watchmakers playing in a much higher price range can overpass some of these constraints, as a higher budget certainly helps in minimising compromise. Well, sometimes.

IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Le Petit Prince IW504803
One thing is to associate a line of watches with a famous air squadron or even with a specific type of aeroplane, but when IWC came up with the idea of adopting Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s beloved character, Le Petit Prince, it flew straight to the hearts of many watch enthusiasts. Not only was the author of Le Petit Prince a pilot and adventurer, but his character and his humanist values have inspired generations of readers, young and old. Since IWC’s partnership with Saint-Exupery’s heirs was consolidated in 2006, the “Le Petit Prince” special editions have become brand favourites. The latest model, the Big Pilot’s Watch?IW504803, is a 50-piece edition in luxurious 18k gold with a spectacular combination of a perpetual calendar and flying tourbillon.Le Petit Prince EditionsWith models ranging from straightforward time and date with power reserve indicator all the way up the complications ladder to GMT watches, chronographs, perpetual calendars, comb
