The IWC classics
IWC Portugieser
The first large format clock on the market was the Portugieser model. Two Portuguese merchants commissioned this watch from IWC. Her requirements for the watch were: a particularly large, precise wristwatch. It has evolved over time - but it has retained its character.
Big, elegant and distinctive .
IWC Ingenieur
Ingenieur - as the name suggests, a watch for technology enthusiasts. It came onto the market in the 1950s.
In the 1970s, Gérald Genta revised the design of the IWC Ingenieur and thus created one of the "BIG FIVE" watch classics .
IWC Aquatimer
With the Aquatimer model series, IWC started developing and manufacturing diving watches in 1967. With a previously unattainable water resistance of up to 20 bar, this was a sensation on the watch market. Instead of the diving outer bezel, the IWC Aquatimer has an inner bezel that can be moved using a second crown.
IWC Spitfire
IWC is a pioneer in the field of pilot's watches - as early as 1948 .
Even today, IWC still builds a wide range of professional pilot's watches. They are equipped with a special soft iron inner housing and thus offer an unusually high level of protection against magnetic fields. Coveted special editions include "Le Petit Prince" and "Laureus Foundation".
IWC Da Vinci
In 1985, IWC launched the calendar chronograph
Da Vinci - the perpetual calendar
Written watchmaking history. In terms of user-friendliness, the perpetual calendar was exemplary. Since the displays of date, day of the week, month, moon phase and year are synchronized with each other, the watch can be switched forwards simply using the crown after it has been set aside for a long time.
IWC stands for perfection and innovation
Right from the start, value was placed on sustainability and manual work, without allowing any compromises in quality, design or the high quality of the products.
What do the letters IWC mean?
International Watch Company
IWC was founded in Schaffhausen in 1868 by Florentine Ariosto Jones. Jones and his successor, also an American, failed with watch manufacture and export to America. IWC was converted into a stock company and from 1880 things went steadily uphill.
In 1905 Ernst Homberger Rauschenbach and the psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung and his wife Emma Marie Rauschenbach-Jung took over the management. They now traded under J.Rauschenbach's heirs . They ran the family business until 1978. Due to the economic situation - the high price of gold and the fall of the dollar - they had to sell the company. They sold to VDO Adolf Schindling AG - which also owned the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand .
In 1991 both watch brands came to Mannesmann.
In 2000 , the Richemont Group took over, which in turn ensured that the core of the brand was maintained.
