IWC Replica Replica Swiss Movement

IWC Replica, the Antoine de Saint Exupery Youth Foundation and IWC Schaffhausen celebrated the 80th anniversary Antoine de Saint Exupery’s historic flight across America. The exhibition was held at the IWC Boutique in New York. To commemorate the author’s flight aboard the Latecoere 521, the Swiss luxury watchmaker has created the Pilot's Watch Timezoner Edition "80 Years Flight from New York".

Antoine de Saint Exupery was not only a pilot who broke records, but also a passenger in aviation history. The writer and aviator, who was traveling onboard the Latecoere521 "Lieutenant De Vaisseau Paris", made the first nonstop crossing across the North Atlantic. It took him just 28 hours 27 minutes. IWC Schaffhausen presents stunning photographs and other items to mark the anniversary of this historic flight.

The retrospective tells the story of Saint Exupery’s voyage aboard the luxury-equipped flying boat. It also reflects on the thrilling times that the French writer and pilot spent in New York. He wrote "Le Petit Prince", his most famous literary work while he was living in New York.

The swiss IWC Replica is such a significant part of his career, that IWC and Antoine de Saint Exupery Youth Foundation have published a coffee table book about the topic in partnership with Latecoere Foundation. It will be displayed at IWC Boutiques around world, and it has been designed in a beautiful way.
