Automatic self-winding watches from IWC Schaffhausen
IWC’s automatic watches are equipped with the Pellaton automatic winding system since the 1950s. Learn more about the mechanism and find your favorite Automatic watch.
Twenty-five years ago, when I first noticed IWC’s Pilot’s watches, it was love at first sight. Here was a precious watch –a fine movement—in a practical case with a practical dial. I was enamored with the anti-preciousness of the dial: clear, legible, and with a flat black base with bright Arabic numerals. Mechanical watches have a heritage and pilot’s watches have a special place within that tradition.
Starting in 2005, IWC entered into a partnership with the Saint-Exupéry-d’Agay Estate whereby the heirs of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and IWC would collaborate in various ways. IWC would support the Fondation’s goals of ensuring that the famous Frenchman’s humanist ideas would remain alive.
A watch should be beautiful because time, as we know it, is precious. Our lives are governed, every day, by the relentless movement of time. Find out more.
