International Watch Company
Unmistakeable originals of chronometry are the undisputed specialty
of the IWC International Watch Co. watch factory in Schaffhausen,
in north-east Switzerland: the famous "Da Vinci", with its
perpetual calendar, is one such. These naturally included the first
"Grande Complication" for the wrist, but also the
super-antimagnetic "Ingenieur" and the diver's watches, which are
capable of withstanding water pressure even down to a depth of 2000
metres - and the only diver's watches with a mechanical depth
gauge. From IWC come the professional "Pilot's watches". Equally
unsurpassed are the exquisite pocket watches, which have been built
at IWC since the year of its foundation in 1868.
