History & Legacy of IWC
Founded in 1868 by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, IWC (International Watch Company) was established with a pioneering vision: to combine advanced American manufacturing methods with traditional Swiss watchmaking expertise. From the beginning, IWC focused on engineering precision and robust mechanical construction, building a reputation for technically sophisticated and highly reliable timepieces.
Among IWC’s most notable historical achievements is its contribution to aviation watchmaking in the 20th century. The manufacture produced oversized pilot’s watches and precision observation timepieces equipped with highly accurate in-house calibers from the renowned 52 family. During World War II, IWC was one of the official manufacturers of the historic “B-Uhr” pilot watches supplied to the German Air Force, securing its place in aviation watch history. These milestones, along with a long tradition of in-house movement development, have established IWC as one of Switzerland’s most respected and technically accomplished manufactures.
