This tradition endures in the contemporary vision for IWC - to create timepieces renowned for both precise engineering and aesthetic design. Through a long and often turbulent history, IWC has endured as one of the leading luxury watchmakers in the world, offering chronographs, complications, exquisite designs and leading timepieces.
