The flying minute tourbillon at 6 o'clock comprises 56 components and weighs only 0.635 grams. Against a dark background, the flying minute tourbillon appears to float effortlessly. Thanks to the integrated tourbillon stop mechanism, the wearer can pull out the crown to stop the timekeeping, ensuring accuracy to the second when setting the time. Components such as the escapement fork and escape wheel are treated with a special Diamond Shell® coating. This patented technology, developed by IWC, effectively reduces friction and prevents energy loss, achieving a high power reserve of 80 hours.
The IWC Big Pilot 43 Tourbillon Le Petit Prince Platinum IW329501 is powered by the IWC in-house 82905 movement, equipped with the Pellaton automatic winding system. Developed in the 1950s by Albert Pellaton, then IWC's Technical Director, this system utilizes the bidirectional movement of the rotor to efficiently wind the mainspring. Components subjected to extremely high pressure, such as the automatic wheel, are made of near-wear-resistant zirconium oxide ceramic. The automatic rotor is shaped like the Little Prince guarding his planet.
