IWC watches are so well made that they can
literally last for decades! When they are properly taken care
of, these marvelous man-made wonders can be around as long
as the person wearing it. The motto of IWC has been, and will
remain “Make watches for small numbers of people, but
watches of the highest quality.” Sounds good to me!
Boston born engineer F.A. Jones produced the first IWC watch
in Switzerland, around 1870. The first pocket watch eventually
led to the foresight that people would one day prefer to wear
a watch around their wrist. With this in mind, Mr. Jones began
to implement small ladies pocket watch movements into a wristwatch.
Since that time, IWC has become a leader in watch engineering
and craftsmanship. The watches of IWC are undeniably original.
A part of the aviation revolution, they have since been crafted
to adorn the wrists of men and women.
The analog watches of IWC are made up of different collections,
including: Specialties, Portuguese, Ingenieur, Pilot’s
Watches Classic, Pilot Watches Spitfire, Aquatimer , Portofino,
Grande Complication, FA Jones, Portuguese, Tourbillon Mystere,
Mark XV, Cousteau Diver, GST sport watches and the Small Da
Vinci.
Never one to leave consumers short on options, the IWC bands
available include: crocodile leather strap (brown and black),
buffalo leather strap, stainless steel link bracelet, rubber
strap and a titanium bracelet. The watches designed by IWC
can be encased in settings of platinum, rose gold, white gold,
stainless steel and yellow gold.
Features included with the IWC style of watches include:
limited production of some models, self winding abilities,
chronograph, minute repeater, perpetual calendar (Just in
case you may need to make plans for the next 500 years!),
perpetual moon phase display and they are all water resistant.
The Pilot’s watch made by IWC has a soft inner case
for protection against magnetic fields. The bad news is that
you won’t be able to use the old “I lost track
of time” excuse with that particular IWC model! Though
the watches of IWC are a bit pricey, owners will tell you
that they are a good investment. These watches designed by
IWC were made to last a lifetime or longer. Think of how much
money you’ll save by not having to buy an new watch
every couple of years.
