When 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. The model has round lines which are accurately polished and a contrast which is made with the combination of silver and black colors.
All the models from IWC are quite expensive, but there is an alternative which consists in the fact of buying replica IWC watches. There is a wide range of replica IWC watches with various designs but the main thing is that you can buy replica IWC watches at a lower price than the timepieces of the original manufacturer.
