International Watch Co Schaffhausen - this is the full name of the company known as IWC . This company appearance marked a completely new, industrial approach to watch-making. The company founded in 1968 by Florence A.Jones from the very beginning of its existence aimed at making a great number of watches. And not just watches, but the best ones. Such ambitions of a young enterprise are not surprising, because Jones was a watchmaker, an engineer and what is the most important thing, he was an American from Boston. The Company's reputation was always very high. Right up till the fifties of the previous century the company's rolls contained the information on whom, when and what exactly watches had been sold. Not many companies can afford this. There are many famous people among IWC clients, for instance Ferdinand I, doctor Young, Sir Winston Churchill. German air forces order this company's watches. The military especially like Mark XI model, which was made up in 1948 and is in quite great demand today. Being a producer of multifunctional, rather complicated watches, IWC never was behind the leaders. It won many awards in international exhibitions. A watch model with minute repeater, chronograph and astronomic perpetual calendar which consists of 1300 details is produced by IWC nowadays. IWC produces watches made to individual orders. These watches are of the highest quality, they feature perpetual calendar, double chronograph and tourbillion. These watches cost hundreds of thousands of Swiss franks and immediately awaken a great interest with watch collectors. The watches are sold by first-rate auctions. TWhen the company was created its aim was to design timepieces in Switzerland, benefiting from lower wages and great watchmaking technique, and later export them into the United States. Because of high import taxes the idea proved to be quite unsuccessful. Later in 1868 the company moved to Schaffhausen, a city in Germany. Afterwards, during the Second World War, the company became well-known after it had launched its famous model entitled Pilot's Watch.The model became famous among aviators and today can be found in the collections of the International Watchmaking Company. Several years later in 1967 the company launched its Aquatimer. The watch proved to be a great diving timepiece. The Aquatimer set new standards for all the diving watches that were present on the market at that time. The model was worn in several movies filmed by Jacque Cousteau.The timepiece had a rotating bezel which was situated inside the watch and not on the outside. This feature made a revolution among diving watches and was one of the best-selling models of the company. Today the International Watcmaking Company, known as IWC is part of the Swatch Group and it continues creating new exclusive models with various features, complications and innovations.Some of the most remarkable watch lines of IWC today are: The Mark X, Da Vinci, Portuguese and Aquatimer. All the timepieces from IWC are limited edition models, which is why the demand for IWC models exceeds supply. Among the most popular timepieces there are: Da Vinci - Small Da Vinci and IWC Classic Dopple Chrono.The first model is a model with a self-winding function and it is well-known just like its larger model. The main aspects of the watch refer to the four-year digit display and the perpetual calendar. Thus the Small Da Vinci is more that a watch it is a sophisticated time device. In addition the watch includes a perpetual moon phase indicator. As for the visual part the timepiece is made of 18 carat gold and it also includes a crocodile leather strap.These visual features can be changed; for example the golden case can be changed into a stainless steel one and the strap is available in black. As for the second model then the IWC Classic Dopple Chrono is a timepiece that looks really great. It includes a variety of functions and at the same time is brilliantly designed to catch the attention of watch enthusiasts.
