The Swiss watchmaker has opened Les Aviateurs next to their Geneva boutique
Have you ever wondered what an IWC Schaffhausen cocktail might taste like? Neither have we, but you can now taste them for yourself at the Swiss watchmaker's pilot's bar in Geneva.
Located next to their boutique on Rue du Rhône in Geneva, Les Aviateurs was created in partnership with department store Globus—it also doubles as an event space for store launches and company events.
Besides whisky, the bar serves cocktails inspired by IWC’s iconic timepieces, in particular, the Pilot’s Watch collection, like the “R. J. Mitchell”, which was named after the designer of the Supermarine Spitfire, or the “Rose” inspired by the rose motif from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s story “The Little Prince".
Enjoy your drinks in a gentlemen's club atmosphere—decked out in dark wood and leather, the space took design cues from private gentlemen’s clubs from the 1920s and 1930s, where pilots used to share stories of their experiences in the air.
