As the name suggests the International Watch Company IWC Schaffhausen is a truly global brand. Founded by a US watchmaker and businessman Florentine Ariosto Jones in 1868 in Schaffhausen, IWC Schaffhausen's aim was to produce mechanical watches to traditional Swiss standard using progressive American techniques.
Now IWC Schaffhausen employs over 650 people, including 180 of the worlds highest skilled watchmakers. In the 19th Century, IWC Schaffhausen 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 Schaffhausen were producing their first wristwatches.
From durable everyday pieces and sports watches to complexities of Haute Horlogerie, IWC are, as the name suggests, world renowned for their prodigious craftsmanship.
Since 1868 the IWC Schaffhausen have been crafting peerless timepieces. Blending stunning design with precision engineering across a diverse range of watches.
