New 41-mm chrono to the IWC Pilot’s collection
IWC launches the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41. The new model features a stainless steel 41mm case and is available with a blue or green dial. It is powered by the IWC-manufactured 69385 calibre and integrates the new EasX-Change bracelet system.
Looking back in wonder
Visitors to the IWC stand at the 2008 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie couldn't help but fall for the deliciously nostalgic charm of its decor, a quiet reminiscence of the different eras that were marked by the brand's milestone models, such as the Pilot, Portugaise or Ingenieur watches. Six models in all are honoured in the Vintage collection, launched to commemorate the Schaffhausen Manufacture's 140th jubilee (see box).
