Father & Son
 
Would love to be able to share this with my son one day...


Watches have always been one of the most personal of family gifts. Linked as they often are with a special memory, a joyous occasion or an unforgettable piece of family history, their value goes far beyond that of an everyday object. Now young men no longer need to wait to inherit a much-coveted timepiece because IWC now offers all fathers and sons an exclusive opportunity to demonstrate the good taste they have in common while retaining their distinctive personalities-with the set of Pilot’s Watches for Father and Son.

The external similarities run in the family: the same pale rhodium-plated dial, the striking screw-in onion-shaped crown and the brown alligator leather strap. Hidden away inside the platinum case of the Pilot’s Watch for fathers is the imposing IWC-manufactured 51111 calibre with its 7-day power reserve. In terms of size and technology, the stainless-steel model for the son is identical to the Pilot’s Watch Mark XVI. This watch is available with a pin buckle or, by special order and for an extra consideration, with a folding clasp.

The inner circle on the back cover is reserved for an engraving of the lucky recipient’s name-not only a stylish dedication but also a safeguard against mix-ups-because this Pilot’s Watch set also comes in larger versions for fathers with more than one son.

Very awesome idea bro! I plan on giving my son a Rolex Sub (one of mine) when he is 14 or so and seeing how he treats it over the years. That will determine what he gets from graduations.

If he is anything like my son, better take out a few links!

My son is 16 and - even on the smallest setting - the Rolex goes up to his elbow.

Cool stuff but what if you have 2 sons :)

That is so sick.

Then I will have a Rolex for each of them. I plan on keeping all of my watches from now on. I love them, and wouldn't have gotten rid of them if I didn't need to.

That's cool. And my little guy is just getting into watches (well, lightning mcqueen watches - he just turned 8 last week), so when he's a bit older I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for this.
