When you think of Top Gun, what comes to mind? Tom Cruise, obviously. But what else? For Christian Knoop, IWC’s creative director, it was the dust of the Mojave desert; the icy waters of Lake Tahoe in the winter; the deep green of the mountain forests that the fighter pilots observe as they zoom overhead. For the last couple of years, Knoop and his team has been steeped in this imagery for the brand’s latest collection, which debuted at Watches and Wonders.
