IWC was originally an American company that produced watches in Switzerland for the American market. The company moved to Schaffhausen in Switzerland in 1868. IWC made a name for itself in World War II by manufacturing intricate pilot’s watches and has long been regarded as one of the finest Swiss manufacturers of watches. IWC has continued to produce complicated and spectacular timepieces that have maintained as well as expanded their reputation. In the year 2000 IWC was purchased by Richemont and under this new management they are enjoying significant growth. The overall look of IWC watches is clean and contemporary and the brand is also renowned for being very inventive. The first Diver’s watch, the Aquatimer, was created by IWC and this resulted in the Aquatimer being launched in 1967.
