IWC Markus Bühler Big Pilot's Watch

IWC, renowned for its exquisite timepieces, has recently collaborated with Lewis Hamilton to create a captivating teal-colored Portugieser. Now, the brand is preparing to unveil the highly anticipated successor to the Markus Bühler Big Pilot's Watch, aptly named the Big Pilot's Watch 43 Tourbillon Markus Bühler Re-Edition. Limited to just 51 pieces, this timepiece showcases a stunning turbine design over its flying minute tourbillon.

Encased in a polished platinum case measuring 43mm, the watch features a sleek black and glossy dial, adorned with rhodium-plated hands and indices. The focal point of the dial lies at the 6 o'clock mark, where a turbine is elegantly positioned, encapsulating the state-of-the-art tourbillon crafted from lightweight titanium alloy.

Markus Bühler, the visionary behind this redesign, expressed his surprise and gratitude at being able to lead the development of a second edition of the Big Pilot's Watch, especially considering his humble beginnings as an apprentice watchmaker. He emphasized that the new iteration perfectly embodies IWC's engineering spirit while showcasing the highest levels of detail and craftsmanship, meeting the expectations of their esteemed collectors.

At the heart of the timepiece beats the IWC-manufactured 82905 caliber, boasting a frequency of 28,800 hourly vibrations and an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours. The movement and the turbine can be admired through the exhibition caseback, allowing enthusiasts to appreciate the intricate mechanics.

Completing the Markus Bühler Big Pilot's Watch is a black Cordovan leather strap, featuring Markus Bühler's personal signature on the inner side. To find out more about the availability and price of this exceptional timepiece, visit the IWC website and make an enquiry.
