The History of IWC

The International Watch Company (IWC) began in 1868 in the Schaffhausen, Switzerland region by Boston-born Florentine Ariosto Jones where he merged the American system of industrialized production with the unrivaled craftsmanship found in Swiss watchmakers. With support from Swiss engineer and watchmaker Johann Heinrich Moser, the workshop grew into a hub of horological excellence. After creating the company and manufacturing the first IWC watch, the company was immediately established as creators of luxury watches, earning a reputation for excellence, drawing on the brand's rich horology. From early pocket watches to the best-selling Pilot's Watch, and establishing itself as a creator of fine watchmaking.
