IWC has long been respected for its complicated watch making accomplishments and technical mastery. With its forward thinking and technological advancements, IWC continues to surpass the expectations of the world's most critical collectors and connoisseurs. The history of this company dates back to 1868, when Florentine Ariosto Jones partnered with Johann Heinrich Moser to create the International Watch Company in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.

Shortly after their start, IWC produced the Caliber Jones movement, one of the world's first movements wound with a crown. By 1900 the company became the exclusive supplier to both the British Royal Navy and the Imperial German Navy. In modern watch making, the company continues to excel in the production of complicated timepieces. Their most popular models include the Portuguese Minute Repeater, the Big Pilot, and the Tourbillion Mystere, which combines 81 micro components with a total weight of only .433 grams.

Today, IWC is still known for its mastery over several forms of horological complexity, and has a great demand for their exquisite timepieces all over the world.
