Founded in 1868 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, IWC (International Watch Company) was established with a unique vision: to merge American industrial technology with Swiss craftsmanship. This engineering-first approach defines the brand, which is renowned for its functional, robust, and technically ingenious timepieces. The brand has built a strong reputation around its professional pilot's watches, a legacy that began in the 1930s and includes the iconic Big Pilot's and Mark series, known for their superior legibility and anti-magnetic properties.
