IWC is renowned for its engineering-led approach to watchmaking, combining Swiss craftsmanship with technical innovation. The brand is celebrated for its robust, highly legible designs, in-house movements, and purpose-built collections such as Pilot’s Watches, Portugieser, and Ingenieur.
To keep your IWC in excellent condition, we recommend regular cleaning with a soft cloth, avoiding strong magnetic fields, and ensuring the crown is properly secured. Routine servicing by an authorised professional will help maintain performance and longevity.
Many IWC models offer water resistance, particularly collections like the Aquatimer. However, water resistance varies by model, so it’s important to check the specific rating and ensure the crown is fully closed before any water exposure.
Authentic IWC watches feature precise finishing, high-quality materials, and unique serial numbers. Purchasing from a trusted retailer and having the watch professionally inspected are the best ways to ensure authenticity.
IWC generally recommends servicing every 5 to 7 years, depending on usage and model. Regular servicing ensures optimal accuracy, reliability, and long-term value.
While IWC does not typically offer full customisation, certain models may allow strap changes or variations in materials and complications. Our team can help you explore available options.
New IWC watches are typically covered by an international manufacturer’s warranty, subject to registration and model specifics. Warranty terms can vary, and our team will be happy to explain the details.
