IWC Unveils Unique Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition 'Inspiration4'
One of 2021's most dramatic current events is the rise of civilian space travel. Although efforts in piloted civilian spaceflight have been limited to pet projects for the ultrawealthy, at this stage, these early endeavors may lead to broader future innovations, and IWC has joined the effort for the latest of these piloted civilian missions. Scheduled for September 15 through September 18, 2021, Inspiration4 will launch from the renowned NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida and send four crew members into low-Earth orbit roughly 357 miles above sea level. Beyond simply reaching space, Inspiration4 is dedicated to spreading a message of leadership, hope, generosity, and prosperity by raising funds for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
