IWC

インターナショナル・ウォッチ・カンパニー

Florentine Ariosto Jones, the founder of IWC, aimed to combine the elaborate traditional techniques of Switzerland with the modern manufacturing techniques of the United States. IWC, which began making watches in Schaffhausen, Switzerland in 1868, has produced many masterpiece watches with high precision and original design, rooting from centuries-old Swiss watch tradition and indomitable entrepreneurship.

Another feature is that the influence of German culture can be seen greatly because Schaffhausen is located in the German-speaking area. While each lineup has their own direction, the simple and robust design that emphasizes functionality gives you a sense of originality that sets it apart from other Swiss brands.

Outstanding technology is one of many appeals of IWC. IWC does not acquire "chronometer" certification, which is considered to be a proof of high performance in wristwatches, but has set its own and stricter in-house standards. They manufacture elaborate watches with the highest level of technology by skilled craftsmen.
IWC's "Pilot Watch" was adopted by the Air Force in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, etc., which shows its high reliability based on its outstanding manufacturing technology that does not compromise on any detail.
Also, it is a brand that continues to protect the highest peak watchmaking technology from its founding to the present, through development of high-precision in-house movements such as "Calibre 89" and models equipped with perpetual calendar.

With 150+ years of history, IWC has produced numerous masterpiece watches. They have a wide range of models with different functions and designs, such as Pilot Watches, Ingenieur, and Portugieser, all of which have a long history. Various antique watches are a testament to IWC's many years of tradition and technology.

While each of them stands out, IWC's carefully designed simple and robust design has gained strong support from all over the world.
From sporty to elegant models, IWC continues to energetically develop a diverse collection based on outstanding technology, giving you endless possibilities in choosing your watch.
