About IWC Schaffhausen
IWC was founded in 1868 in Schaffhausen. Located in the north-eastern part of Switzerland, it is a place with ideal watchmaking conditions: a centuries-old horological tradition, modern factory premises, and a hydropower plant driven by the Rhine to run machines. For more than 150 years, IWC has combined tradition, innovation, and precision to engineer its six watch families that are still handcrafted in Schaffhausen today.
