History in the Making
Opening its Manufakturzentrum in 2018, IWC Schaffhausen safeguards its American-Swiss production manifesto.
IWC Schaffhausen
It is only the most innovative of brands that continue to thrive after 150 years; the rich history behind IWC Schaffhausen watches marks its place among such ranks, telling a tale of endurance, adaptability and precision engineering. This pioneering precedent was set out from the very beginning when American founder Florence Ariosto Jones chose to situate his manufacturing hub not in the French-speaking heart of Swiss watchmaking, but on the country’s German border in the historic town of Schaffhausen. Combining American production techniques with the skilled craftsmanship of native horologists, the House’s modern-day offerings attest to the abiding nature of its early creations, with its six watch families – Pilot, Portugieser, Portofino, Da Vinci, Ingenious and Aquatimer – all honouring age-old models.
Masterful Mechanisms
Moon phase display and a double rattrapante chronograph – elaborate complications are innate to IWC Schaffhausen.
The Pilot Watch
Originally engineered for aviators in the '30s, IWC Schaffhausen’s Pilot design is as iconic and dependable as it was then.
