IWC is one of the most notable brands in watches when it comes to aviation, and the Pilot's Watch collection (including the Spitfire) is inspired by a watch worn by Royal Air Force pilots in 1948. Using an in-house movement seen via the sapphire caseback, the perpetual calendar watch has a dual-hemisphere perpetual moon phase that displays the date, day, month and year, has small hacking seconds and a seven-day power reserve for long missions. The olive-green dial, bronze case and leather strap give the watch a rugged, military-esque feel, and each wearer will appreciate its ode to history.

The American dream is made reality through IWC Schaffhausen watches. Deeply rooted in American pioneering spirit and entrepreneurship, the brand combines this with Swiss engineering and ingenuity to create timepieces that challenge definitions of delusion. The unbound nature of the brand is reflected in its collections, which pay tribute to those who roam all corners of the world.From its Pilot's Watches collection that feature resistance to temperature fluctuations, patented SPRIN-g Protect systems and ergonomic case structures, we are invited to reflect on the transcendence of time. Similarly, engineered for navigators, the Portugieser collection incorporates classical technologies of haute horlogerie, including a double moon phase display and a developed tide indicator. The Portofino line also parades the moon phase mechanism with classy design, including an embossed silver plates dial and diamond embellishment to its watches.
