IWC – International Watch Co. Schaffhausen, a Swiss watch manufacturer
Unmistakable originals of timekeeping, that is the undisputed speciality of the north east Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen: The famous Da Vinci with a perpetual calendar is one of them, as is the Grande Complication, which is the first for the wrist. But also the super anti magnetic engineer or diving watches that can withstand the pressure of 2000 meters of water and the GST Deep One as the first diving watch with a mechanical depth gauge are mentioned here. Professional pilot’s watches have been made by IWC for decades. Since the founding year 1868: the unsurpassed, extremely fine pocket watches from IWC.
