Introduction of the New Big Pilot’s Watch
IWC Schaffhausen has launched the Big Pilot’s Watch 43 Tourbillon Markus Bühler. This piece is a highly anticipated follow-up to the 2008 Big Pilot’s Watch Edition Markus Bühler. This timepiece is the eagerly awaited follow-up to the 2008 Big Pilot’s Watch Edition Markus Bühler. Now, it features an aircraft turbine incorporated into a flying minute tourbillon at 6 o’clock, which posed significant design and manufacturing challenges. Restricted to just 51 units, this new version of the “Markus Bühler” watch stands out with its polished platinum case, shiny black dial, and black Cordovan leather strap. The IWC-manufactured 82905 calibre, with its blackened parts, can be seen through the sapphire glass back.
A Cult Favorite Among Collectors
Likely, no other watch in IWC Schaffhausen’s Pilot’s Watches series has gained such a legendary status among collectors as the 2008 Big Pilot’s Watch Edition Markus Bühler. This watch was originally inspired by a unique piece that Markus Bühler created during his final year of apprenticeship at IWC for a competition. The most notable feature was the small seconds display designed to look like an aircraft turbine. Now, fifteen years later, IWC presents a new exclusive version. Similar to its predecessor, the new Big Pilot’s Watch 43 Tourbillon Markus Bühler (Ref. IW329901) has a small turbine on its dial. This time, the distinctive aircraft engine is incorporated into a flying minute tourbillon at the 6 o’clock position.
