IWC Schaffhausen honours Jacques-Yves Cousteau on his100th birthday
Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Jacques-Yves Cousteau
11 June 2010 marks the 100th birthday of Jacques-Yves Cousteau. No other individual in the 20th century has promoted and influenced research of the world’s oceans as significantly as this legendary personality. Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen, partner and sponsor of the Cousteau Society for many years, is proud to dedicate a fifth special edition to “Le Commandant” on this historic anniversary: the Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
He wore a trademark red woollen cap and his expeditions gave human beings their first collective view of the depths of the underwater world. Several generations have been fascinated not only by his fantastic television series but also inspired to take up scuba diving and be more heedful of Nature’s needs. Jacques-Yves Cousteau, alias “Le Commandant”, who died in 1997, was not only a pioneer of underwater research but also a leading champion of the cause of protecting the world’s oceans. IWC Schaffhausen, whose first Aquatimer professional diver’s watch in 1967 actively promoted the increasingly popular sport, has maintained a partnership with the Cousteau Society since 2003.

The Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Jacques-Yves Cousteau is secured to the wearer’s wrist by a black rubber strap.
IWC and the Cousteau Society
IWC’s cooperation with the Cousteau Society underscores the common vision of the two partners. A pioneering spirit, perfection and ecological responsibility are the forces that drive two parties who develop technical innovations for underwater exploration and have pinned their colours to the mast on issues like protection of the world’s oceans and the climate. As a carbon-neutral industrial concern, IWC has been supporting the work of the Cousteau Society since 2003. Thanks to a substantial contribution from the Swiss watch manufacturer, the non-profit organisation was able to under-take a research expedition lasting several weeks into the Red Sea to document the present condition of the coral reefs. Their work, consisting of hundreds of photographs, numerous films and a comprehensive database, was based on archive material collected by Cousteau himself.
New expedition in Cousteau’s wake
But IWC Schaffhausen plans to honour Cousteau’s birthday with more than just a special model. On this particular occasion, the company will also be sponsoring a research voyage to be carried out by National Geographic, which will be putting to sea in the wake of Jacques-Yves Cousteau in his second research ship, the Alcyone. The aim of this expedition is to compare Cousteau’s findings regarding the condition of the underwater world back then with new data.
