History of IWC
In 1868, the American engineer and watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, director of the watchmaking factory F. Howard Watch & Cie, crossed the Atlantic Ocean to famous Switzerland. Its objective was to combine the know-how of the Swiss workforce with the modernity of the latest machines developed in the United States, by creating a modern factory with centralized manufacturing, unlike the Swiss tradition which, since the 17th century saw workers working from home or in small factories Work in the workshop.
Jones met the industrialist Johann Heinrich Moser in Schaffhausen, a city with a long watchmaking tradition: it was in Schaffhausen that the Habrecht watchmakers marked Schaffhausen and one of the largest astronomical clocks was built in the cathedral of Trasbourg. He founded the watch factory called IWC International Watch Co. Florentine Ariosto Jones stayed only a few years in Schaffhausen, preferring to sell his factory to Swiss entrepreneurs who continued to follow these principles of industrial mass production. Seventeen years after the creation of the brand, the first digital mechanical wristwatch was born.
I need a watch winder for my IWC watch ?
If you don't wear your IWC every day, consider putting it on a watch winder, because your IWC needs to be wound a certain number of times a day to fully wind the mainspring and extend its life.
A watch winder is a luxury device that maintains your IWC without worrying about winding it.
But if you wear your IWC every day, you don't need to put it in your winder.
Rotation direction for IWC
The watch winder must work properly to properly wind your IWC. It must be able to rotate clockwise, counter-clockwise and in both directions.
If your IWC needs to be wound clockwise, turning your watch counter-clockwise will not power it, so it will not be wound. To find out the direction of rotation of your IWC, you can follow our winding parameters for IWC.
Tours per day for IWC
The minimum number of revolutions an automatic watch needs to gain power often varies from day to day.
