Singaporean streetwear designer Mark Ong AKA Mr. Sabotage has created a limited-edition watch strap set for IWC Schaffhausen
IWC Schaffhausen has brought its Top Gun exhibition to the heart of Singapore with interactive and experiential activities for all. Taking place across the level three space of Design Orchard from now until October 30, the monochromatic exhibition is decked out entirely in dark green.
This particular shade is “Woodland”, a new colour created with Pantone for IWC’s ceramic watch portfolio. Woodland was inspired by the flight suits and uniforms worn by the elite pilots in the Top Gun flight school, as well as the vast forest landscapes these pilots fly over.
Stepping into the exhibition, visitors will first notice a display of 14 professional military watches that IWC manufactured for pilots from the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviation units. IWC is currently the only watch brand that is officially licensed to work on watches for the entire US Navy and Marine Corps, including Top Gun, Blue Angels, and the 247 active and 100 inactive squadrons.

Further in, guests may embark on a virtual guided tour by popping on a VR headset to explore IWC’s virtual worlds in the metaverse. Created by renowned architect Hani Rashid, the four monochromatic worlds represent the colours specified by IWC and Pantone—Mojave Desert, Woodland, Lake Tahoe and Ceratanium.
There are also 1,868 NFTs specially dedicated to Singapore that visitors can collect, each unlocking exclusive access to curated virtual events within the 3D space, token-gated community channels and future physical events and services.
Other exhibition highlights include watchmaking classes for adults and children, a junior NFT class and coffee workshops.
