About IWC Schaffhausen

IJL is an Authorized IWC Schaffhausen Dealer

Founded in 1868 by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, IWC Schaffhausen was born from a visionary dream to combine advanced American manufacturing techniques with world-renowned Swiss craftsmanship. Located in north-eastern Switzerland on the banks of the River Rhine, the manufacture is defined by its motto, "Probus Scafusia"—meaning "good, solid craftsmanship from Schaffhausen." IWC is a global leader in professional pilot’s watches and is equally celebrated for the nautical elegance of the Portugieser collection. A pioneer in high-tech materials, the brand was the first to introduce titanium and ceramic into watchmaking, a tradition that continues today with their proprietary Ceratanium®. From the anti-magnetic Ingenieur to the adventure-ready Aquatimer, IWC timepieces follow a "form follows function" philosophy, blending sophisticated horological complications with a robust, utilitarian aesthetic. At IJL, we are proud to offer this storied brand, where technical mastery meets timeless design for those who value precision-engineered luxury.
