“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essentiel is invisible to the eye”.

Fantastic quote from Antoine De Saint-Exupéry’s fairy tale “Le petite prince”. For a long time my heart and eyes have been eyeing IWC’s Pilot Mark XVIII Le petit prince edition. Must admit that both my heart and eyes are satisfied. I finally bought the watch last week. I am very pleased and happy. Simple, cool and fantastic watch (Yeah yeah the date ;-) )

The quote is probably very true for many of us in life as in watch-life. If we truly follow our hearts it can’t go too bad. But life and big decisions sure can go astray if we do not follow our hearts.

Have a good sunday everyone.

That book and the jungle book are pure treasures for Humanity.

So true. Kipling and Exupéry wrote classics for all to read. Should be mandatory reading for children AND adults.

So true. There is another quote which impressed me. It goes like this:

It is pointless to look for a well in the desert. Nevertheless we set off.

Yes Brauner, I agree. And the reason the desert is beautiful is “ …. that somewhere it hides a well”

I am a huge fan of Saint Euxpery — congratulations on the watch!

Montblanc did a series of Le Petit Prince pens over the course of three years. I bought each one, plus the LPP inks and notebooks. ...  

Thanks Orahu. Didn’t know about the Montblanc connection. Looks great and I see the yellow star.

Yes — nice engravings on the nibs as well. They are well done tributes!

Montblanc does most thing very well. :-)
