Engineering beyond time

For over 150 years, IWC has combined tradition, innovation, and precision to engineer six watch families handcrafted in Schaffhausen. The art takes place under ideal watchmaking conditions: a centuries-old horological tradition, modern factory premises, and a hydropower plant driven by the Rhine to run machines. 

The Maison masters every step of the production process behind in-house movements and complications such as the minute repeater, the tourbillon and the perpetual calendar.

The rebirth of a legend

Nearly 50 years after Gérald Genta created the Ingenieur SL, IWC Schaffhausen re-launched the iconic design in 2023. The modern IWC Ingenieur is a faithful distillation of the original design with the proportions, ergonomics and striking visual balance of a sports watch for the 21st century – perfected and refined down to the smallest detail.
