IWC. Engineered.

Rooted in Schaffhausen, IWC is known for engineering excellence, distinctive design and a commitment to uncompromising quality. Since 1868, the Maison has combined mechanical expertise with purposeful innovation to create timepieces that are both technically advanced and timeless in character.

Today, a state-of-the-art production facility and deep expertise in chronographs, calendars and advanced material engineering shape our contemporary approach to watchmaking. A pure and understated form gives these technical innovations their most authentic expression and keeps them relevant for generations to come.

Engineered for the Next Space Age

At the dawn of the age of commercial space exploration, IWC Schaffhausen extends its Pilot’s Watches legacy beyond the sky – and into space. The Pilot’s Venturer Vertical Drive marks the first tool watch engineered from the ground up for human spaceflight. From the rotating bezel system replacing the crown to the 24-hour mission time display, every detail has been optimised for timekeeping in orbit. The watch has received official spaceflight qualification from the Maison’s partner, Vast, the company developing next-generation space stations.
