Over its 150 year history, IWC Schaffhausen has developed a reputation for creating functional complications, especially chronographs and calendars, which are ingenious, robust, and easy for customers to use. A pioneer in the use of titanium and ceramics, IWC today specialises in highly engineered technical watch cases manufactured from advanced materials, such as titaniumaluminide and Ceratanium®. Preferring the principle of “form follows function” over decoration, the Swiss watch manufacturer’s timeless creations embody their owners’ dreams and ambitions as they journey through life.
The Portugieser is one of IWC's oldest and best-loved watches. No other watch family incorporates so many technical feats of haute horlogerie. Its legendary design, with its striking dimensions, sober Arabic numerals, slender feuille hands and railway-track-style chapter ring, was created in the 1930s, a time when it was considered to be ahead of its time. Clearly structured and essential, the original Portugieser dial is still an unparalleled example of horological design.
Conceived as navigational instruments for aviators, IWC Pilot's Watches are indispensable tools for modern explorers. The striking conical crown of the Big Pilot's Watch is a reminder of the days when aviation pioneers had to brave wind and weather in unheated cabins. Necessarily, they needed a large, easy-to-grip crown so they could be adjusted and reloaded even with gloved hands. Their design is a result of the typical instrumentation look, with luminescent gauges standing out against a black background.
Combining timeless elegance with a touch of glamour, IWC Portofino embodies the sophisticated Mediterranean lifestyle. Appreciated by men and women alike, the Portofino collection has been a guarantee of success for the Schaffhausen-based manufacturer for 30 years. This is due as much to the constant demand for classic watches as to the puristic design that distinguishes these timepieces. Simple and unpretentious, its minimalist design is inspired by pocket watches
The Da Vinci has kept abreast of the times throughout its almost 50-year history. The appeal of these watches lies in their elegant design and exquisite complications. IWC Schaffhausen has returned to a round case for the Da Vinci collection, which was so successfully established by the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar in 1985. The slightly recessed inner circle on the dial, the striking dome-shaped crown and the circular date window at “6 o’clock” all add a touch of feminine style to this three-hand timepiece.
Designed as a professional instrument for divers, the IWC Aquatimer is also perfect for any adventure on land. IWC Schaffhausen has more than 50 years' experience in developing and producing professional diver's watches for the enjoyment of all those who enjoy tackling the oceans and seas. Its design features a quick-change strap system and a two-color luminescent coating that ensures optimum legibility under water, allowing you to quickly orient yourself on the dial even in poor visibility.
Since 1955, the striking design of the Ingenieur has combined rugged sportiness with an undeniably technical appeal, and continues to do so to this day. The design of the Ingenieur Automatic is a homage to the technical ingenuity of the 1950s, when engineers were the heroes of the technological age. The first Ingenieur combined the simple dial design with striking hands and the most advanced winding mechanism of the time to create a modern watch.
