It has been 70 years since Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s novella, The Little Prince, has touched hearts worldwide. To commemorate this special anniversary, IWC has organised a storytelling session to pay homage to this internationally acclaimed children’s book. Local host and actor Chua En Lai was invited to narrate the novella to groups of wide-eyed children (as well as a few adults).

“These evenings allow us to honour Antoine de Saint- Exupéry, the great author and humanist that he was, and from whom IWC has drawn much inspiration. We are proud to have been partners of the Saint-Exupéry – d’Agay Estate since 2006. The new IWC timepieces are a beautiful tribute to The Little Prince, which is a modern fairy tale about friendship and humanity that fascinates adults and children alike. We are happy to have Chua En Lai join us as our narrator, as he brings the story to life with his spirited narration,” commented Edouard d’Arbaumont, managing director of IWC South East Asia.

Not forgetting the adults, watches were also among the highlights of the evening. Guests were also treated to a private showcase of IWC’s special edition timepieces, namely the Pilot’s Watch Mark XVII Edition “Le Petit Prince” and Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition “Le Petit Prince”. These timepieces were created as a special tribute to the much-loved classic.
