IWC Watches

About IWC Latest News View All Mens Ladies

IWC collections – Pilot’s Watches, Portuguese, Inginieur, Aquatimer, Da Vinci and Portofino – are all steeped in history and the name of each has a story of its own influenced by people from around the world. Our featured watch is the Ingenieur Chronograph Racer introduced at SIHH 2013.

IWC has been owned by Richemont since 2000, but to this day all its watches are designed, constructed and tested to the highest standards at their headquarters in Schaffhausen overlooking the banks of the Rhine.

The IWC Legacy

As the name suggests the International Watch Company (IWC) is a truly global brand. Founded by a US watchmaker and businessman Florentine Ariosto Jones in 1868 in Schaffhausen, IWC’s aim was to produce mechanical timepieces to traditional Swiss standard using progressive American techniques.

Now IWC employs over 650 people, including 180 of the world’s highest skilled watchmakers. In the 19th Century, IWC demonstrated a passion for innovation through pocket watches such as the Pallweber which had a revolutionary digital hour and minute display, and by the end of the century IWC were producing their first wristwatches.
