IWC Bracelet

IWC was founded in 1868 by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, to combine Swiss craftsmanship with American industrial techniques. Unlike most Swiss brands, IWC chose Schaffhausen for its access to hydroelectric power from the Rhine. It became known for robust, precision-engineered watches like the Pilot’s Watch, Portugieser, and Ingenieur. IWC has a strong identity rooted in functional design, technical innovation, and clean aesthetics. Today, it’s part of the Richemont Group and remains a leader in high-end tool watches.
