The History of ... IWC is based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and was founded in 1868. Its signature lines are the Pilot鈥檚 Watches and the Portugieser, while other famous collections are the Aquatimer, Portofino and the Da Vinci. Many of IWC鈥檚 designs display a industrial type of beauty not often found in Swiss watchmaking. The same goes for its movements; while of very high standards, they are finished with an 鈥 engineers touch rather than that of an artist. One could very well say that IWC鈥檚 approach to watchmaking is more German in nature compared to many of its competitors; the 鈥榝orm follows function鈥 adagio is one held in high esteem in Schaffhausen. Notable watches and innovations created by IWC in the past include the digital 鈥楶allweber鈥 pocket watch, the late 1930鈥檚 Portugieser, the 1985 Da Vinci with Kurt Klaus perpetual module, the split-seconds mechanism as designed by Richard Habring and the ceramic Da Vinci and Flieger 3705 鈥 introduced many years before the material became fashionable. IWC also pioneered the use of titanium in wristwatches. In recent years, IWC has had a strong focus on in-house movements with prices rising accordingly. IWC is part of the Richemont group...

IWC.... The highly complex minute repeater strike train for the Grande Complication and the Portugieser Minute Repeater is operated by an eye-catching repeating slide on the left-hand side of the case and chimes out the time in crystal-clear tones: the hours on the lower-pitched of the two gongs, followed by a double strike on both gongs for the quarters and finally a single strike on the higher-pitched gong for the minutes. Every gong is individually handmade and carefully tuned for pitch and tonal purity. The all-or-nothing piece, as it is known, ensures that the mechanism will never chime out an incomplete 鈥 and thus incorrect 鈥 series of acoustic tones even if the repeating slide is released too early...

IWC...The design of the perpetual calendar was a feat of watchmaking genius. A mechanical masterpiece, it takes into account all the complexities of the leap years; in other words, it recognizes all the years that can be divided, without remainder, by four (e. g. 2012), as well as the centuries that can be divided, likewise without remainder, by 400 (e. g. 2400). These leap years all have a 29th day in February. Years at the turn of the century that leave a remainder when divided by 400 鈥 the next ones are 2100, 2200 and 2300 鈥 are not leap years. The perpetual calendar鈥檚 century slide with an analogue display turns each new century into a major event. The current century slide bears the numbers 20, 21 and 22 and will thus come to the end of its service life on 31 December 2299; but even now, IWC supplies the century slide bearing the figures 22, 23 and 24 for the years 2200 to 2499鈥rom IWC website...
