Dads, Grads and Little Lads: IWC's Perfect Timing

Father's Day is a rare occasion when dads receive presents–but wise parents may want to supplement the day's typical offerings (handmade picture frames, odd ties) with this father-and-son set of Pilot's watches by IWC. Version père is housed in a 46mm platinum case; the 39mm version fils is stainless steel. Both are automatic (of course), mounted on alligator straps and chock-a-block with excellent horological details. Your son will be thrilled to wear the same watch as his dad. FA2L suspects you'll feel pretty good, too.
