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.
