IWC Watches

IWC Schaffhausen is a luxury watch brand specialising in the manufacture of high-quality, precision mechanical watches. IWC watches combine Swiss watchmaking tradition with technological innovation, offering models for different tastes and occasions. Some of its most famous collections are the Portugieser, Pilot, Portofino, Aquatimer and Ingenieur.

IWC History

The history of the IWC watch brand began in 1868, when the American engineer Florentino Aristo Jones settled in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. His business partner, Johann Heinrich Moser, had devised a system for harnessing the Rhine’s hydroelectric power and starting mechanised watch production. The Schaffhausen factory produced 10,000 watches for the American market and then expanded into Germany.

IWC focused on wristwatches and pilot’s watches. In the 1930s, they developed the “special aviator’s watch” with a black dial, Arabic numerals, protection against magnetic fields and luminous hands. This watch established a dynasty that included the Mark X and Mark XI, the latter of which became the official watch of the British Royal Air Force.

Today, IWC’s vintage pilot’s watches are popular with collectors. In 2002, they launched the “Big Pilot” and in 2012, a limited edition in honour of Antoine de Saint Exupéry.

Back in 2007, IWC introduced the “TOP GUN” family, inspired by the US Navy’s Combat Arms School. With a rich history and commitment to precision, IWC is an iconic brand in watchmaking.

IWC watch collections

IWC’s watch collections are a testament to the excellence and innovation that characterise the Swiss watch brand. Since its origins in 1868, IWC has been creating high-quality timepieces that combine engineering precision with elegant and functional design.

IWC was inspired to create Portofino by the Mediterranean lifestyle. This collection offers elegant watches with round cases and minimalist dials, and options such as calendar or moon phase.

Da Vinci

Da Vinci, a collection paying tribute to Renaissance genius, offers innovative timepieces with geometric cases and complex dials, and complications such as the chronograph, perpetual calendar and retrograde tourbillon.

The Aquatimer is IWC Schaffhausen’s diving watch collection dedicated to lovers of the sea. This collection offers sports watches with water-resistant cases and internal or external rotating bezels, and functions such as a chronograph, calendar or depth gauge.

IWC watches for men and women

IWC watches for men and women are distinguished by their quality and exclusive design. Among the men’s watch collections, the Portugieser is iconic, known for its timeless style and models such as the Grande Complication and the Annual Calendar. The Da Vinci has been significantly transformed since its launch in 1969, now offering innovative models. The Aquatimer, dedicated to divers, and the Ingenieur, with protection against magnetic fields, are both unravelled options. The Pilot’s Watch, inspired by aviation, completes the men’s offer with large models and the latest in high technology.

If you are looking for an IWC watch for women, the Da Vinci collection includes the Automatic Moon Phase 36, also available with diamonds. The Portofino is equally popular with men and women, with classic models and others adorned with diamonds, such as the Automatic 37, designed primarily for a female audience.
