AMERICAN PIONEERING SPIRIT MEETS SWISS TRADITION
In 1868, Boston watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones founded the "International Watch Co." in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. His plan was to bring together progressive American production techniques with the skilled craftsmanship of the Swiss. It was in Schaffhausen that he found ideal conditions: modern factory premises, a hydropower plant driven by the Rhine to run his machines and centuries-old horological tradition. IWC's excellent reputation was established right from the start and the company continues to be a premium brand in the international luxury watch segment today.
A LEADER IN WATCHMAKING
From development to testing, assembly and service, IWC watches endure a long, hard road from prototype to finished product. Every watch is professionally finished by masters of their trade, for they are the individuals whose trained eyes, nimble fingers and precision instruments put together IWC watches from a collection of single parts. Each watch is a fascinating example of meticulous workmanship, functionality and design- an outstanding piece of engineering excellence at its very best.
OFFICIAL TIMEKEEPER OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST RACE
THE VOLVO OCEAN RACE
Spanning every ocean, five continents and nine months, the Volvo Ocean Race is an exceptional test of sailing prowess and human endurance. Competitors risk their lives on the world's most turbulent seas. Success demands a combination of untiring focus, precision performance and extreme mental and physical fortitude.
IWC EMBRACES ECOLOGICAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT
As a company that enjoys international success, IWC Schaffhausen's corporate philosophy has resulted in several long-term partnerships and commitments worldwide. Parallel to these joint efforts, IWC launches special editions of its watches that refer specifically to current projects. These watches act not only as ambassadors for good causes: some of the proceeds from their sale make a welcome financial contribution to activities within the foundations.
