The origins of the “International Watch Co.” date back to 1868 when Boston watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones founded the company in Schaffhausen. Since its inception, the brand has earned a strong reputation for its master craftsmanship through ground-breaking solutions and technical advancements. As a world-renowned watchmaker, IWC has mastered the art of Haute Horlogerie, producing timepieces with utmost precision and elegant design.

IWC first gained credibility with the launch of its first movement, the infamous Jones Calibre. The brand further proved its innovative motives through creating the Pallweber pocket watches, which featured a ground-breaking digital display for hours and minutes. The end of the 1800s saw the introduction of IWC’s first wristwatches incorporating the 64-calibre pocket watch movement.

Now, IWC continues its dedication to technology and advancement while simultaneously highlighting the importance of social responsibility and environmental impact. IWC is devoted to manufacturing through sustainable means and working alongside organisations committed to ecological conservation.
