Much has changed at IWC since then, of course, but the unusual geographical location and Jones' vision for precision engineering combined with skilled hand work in finishing, assembling, and regulating has played a major role in shaping the company's philosophy. Today, IWC produces precision timepieces of lasting value with a clear focus on technology and development.
With a passion for innovative solutions and technical inventiveness, IWC's watch families the Pilot's Watches, Portugieser, Portofino, Ingenieur, Aquatimer and Da Vinci look back on a long tradition. They attest to the ingenuity of the engineers in Schaffhausen through four generations and embrace the broad range of the company's watchmaking expertise: from robust watches for everyday use to the complexities of haute horlogerie at its finest.
