    Two new arrivals

    After being diagnosed with Brain Cancer back in 2016, subsequent surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it would be safe to say I was in a pretty low place. Move forward to February 2019, my wife and I welcomed our daughter to the world. Of course we are over the moon and I am happy that no matter what the future holds for me, I have left a beautiful legacy on this earth of ours.



    And to commemorate said special occasion, another new arrival.



    An IWC Pilot Le Petit Prince. I have always loved this watch and what it represents. The story of Le Petit Prince is loved by children and indeed adults the world over. Written by pioneering WWII aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

    And a stock photo of the back of the watch which shows Le Petit Prince on the surface of the Moon.



    I hope to one day read the story to my daughter :)

    Thanks for reading.

    Kapish.

    Two beautiful new additions. Congrats to you and your other half. Never was the term 'wear it in good health' more appropriate.
    Could we have some more images of the watch please.

    Thank you Sir.

    Here you go. Sorry, I know they are terrible photos but you can just make out the pop of the blue dial

    Glad someone said it before I did
    My family has also been through a very tough time the last few years (life threatening/changing illness) which we are still trying to come to terms with
    It’s great to see you bounce back with your little miracle.
    I’m a big fan of the IWC Pilot Le Petit Prince range and hope one day to add one to my collection.

    Your health is your wealth

    Congrats on your two new arrivals. Excellent choice of iwc!

    Enjoy in good health for many years to come!

    Also I couldn’t help but notice your prince is a different alignment to mine, sloppy work schaffhausen! Especially given the otherwise excellent attention to detail.
    I do like the petit prince on the back, something different for sure.

    My kids are the greatest thing that have ever happened to me, better even than getting a Silver Snoopy for RRP. Watching them grow up into little people is something that always makes me smile inside and I wish you every happiness in getting to know your new little best friend.

    Congratulations to you all. Glad that the future is looking up.

    I see you have already equipped yourself with the essential equipment. Not the watch, the baby gym. It will keep your daughter entertained for a precious 15 minutes so you and your wife can grab a well deserved cuppa.

    Congratulation, on both.
    Best Regards - Peter

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.

    Wow

    What a lovely post, your baby is beautiful.

    My little boy turns two soon and this week has been battling chicken pox. He's better now, but what a journey that was!!

    Beautiful watch too. I have always fancied one.

    Happy Days! Congratulations on both accounts, as much as I like the IWC I think the other little bundle is more special-as I'm sure you do too. Well done to you both...

    Do you have box and papers for the first one? Just worried it may be a fake. ;)

    At times it must have seemed that there was very little light at the end of the tunnel so it is absolutely wonderful to hear of your joyful news.

    I’m a fan of the IWC and have only seen one on sales brochure - think I’ll track one down next week and see that amazing dial

    Gorgeous watch, he's a great writer, I think, Wind, Sand and Stars is fantastic.

    Hoping you get to read the Little Prince to your grandchildren :)

    What doesn't kill you makes you stronger is such an overused phrase, but still.. That's the magic of kids, they tease strength out of you where you may not have known it existed otherwise.
