The Pilot Watch is a curated special interest magazine for aviation watch enthusiasts
Welcome to The Pilot Watch. The Pilot Watch is a passionately curated online magazine for aesthetes and technical enthusiasts with a profound appreciation for the fascination of aviation on the wrist. It is a tribute to the precision, history, and timeless design of pilot’s watches – dedicated to those who view the cockpit not merely as a workplace, but as a place of longing.
The Pilot Watch is tailored for individualists who see far more than just an instrument in a mechanical timepiece: To them, the pilot’s watch is a symbol of freedom, a pioneering spirit, and the pursuit of the horizon. A magazine for collectors and enthusiasts who celebrate the intricate details of an onion crown or the patina of an heirloom as much as the moment of takeoff. Created for those who value the fusion of tradition and innovation – hose who have already internalized the stories behind the dials long before embarking on their next journey.
Our focus lies on the timepieces, brands, and people within the captivating world of aviation chronometers. We scour the globe for compelling, entertaining, and emotive stories spanning design, technology, lifestyle, and luxury. The mosaic of gripping features, stunning imagery, and breathtaking cinematography defines the unique character and soul of The Pilot Watch.
In our categories Brands, Watches, People and Stories, we present the latest pilot watches on the market, we take a look behind the scenes at the production of luxury chronometers, we accompany Hollywood legend, pilot and brand ambassador John Travolta on a photo shoot in front of the legendary rocket aircraft X-15 for a renowned watch brand – and obviously much more.
Our small Munich-based team of journalists, pilots and globetrotters around The Pilot Watch founder Michael Herrmann, himself a passionate aviator, combines not only boundless enthusiasm and passion for aviation in general, but of course also for pilot watches in particular. With The Pilot Watch we share the fascination for pilot watches in their most exciting and beautiful facets. Join us and present your best pilot watch pictures, movies and stories on The Pilot Watch. Take to the skies.
Michael Herrmann
Founder & Chief Editor
Michael’s heart has been beating for aviation since childhood. So it’s not surprising that his path led from small throwing gliders to remote-controlled model airplanes to the cockpit of gliders and motor planes. Despite today’s modern technology on board, Michael is still attracted by the classic dead reckoning navigation with only compass, airspeed indicator and wristwatch. The latter probably also explains his great enthusiasm for the fascinating world of pilot watches.
