The Big Pilot’s Watch Annual Calendar Edition “Le Petit Prince” is dedicated to the leading figure in the fairy tale of the same name
ON THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE WATCH, THE ORIGINAL ROTOR SUGGESTIVELY ILLUSTRATES THE LEITMOTIF in the life and work of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: the inseparableness of technology and poetry.The Big Pilot’s Watch Annual Calendar Edition “Le Petit Prince”, stands out first for its attractive colour combination. The shimmering blue sun-pattern finish on the dial, combined with the red gold of the case, hands and appliqués as well as the dark brown of the Santoni calfskin strap, give this timepiece an exclusive character.
If we look more closely, we discover three separate windows, arranged in a semicircle at “12 o’clock”, which show the month, date and day of the week. The Watch design is furthermore enriched by details such as the white and red gold outlines of the hands, numerals and appliqués and the contrast between the polished bezel and the satin-finished case and the beige-coloured ornamental seams on the strap.
