IWC Schaffhausen
International Watch Co. AG
Founded in 1868
for the discerning Gentlemen
In 1868, American engineer and watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones (18411916), who had been a director of E. Howard & Co., in Boston, then America's leading watchmaking company, founded the International Watch Co. with the intention of combining Swiss craftsmanship with the modern engineering technology from the U.S. to manufacture watch movements and other watch parts for the American market.
In the mid-1970s IWC decided to redesign the Ingenieur to give it a more "fashion forward" look. With the new model, IWC tried to emulate the concept of one of its rivals. A few years earlier, Audemars-Piguet had scored a major success with a luxury steel sport watch, the "Royal Oak," designed by Gerald Genta. Soon thereafter IWC hired Genta (who also designed the steel Patek Philippe Nautilus) to design a newly conceived Ingenieur.
