90 years in the sky. Now reaching for space.

Celebrating 90 years of Pilot's Watches, IWC extends its legacy beyond aviation - into space. Inspired by futuristic rotating space stations, the booth sets the stage for a new era of purpose-built space watches, including the Pilot's Venturer Vertical Drive, engineered and certified for human spaceflight.

Across seven dedicated stations - from perpetual calendar innovation to the Le Petit Prince collection and the evolving Ingenieur - you'lll discover how engineering, storytelling, and exploration come together.

From cockpit to orbit.
