THE WATCH
IWC International Watch Co was founded by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones in 1868.
In the mid century, IWC rolled out its famed Caliber 89 movement. This mechanically-wound movement powered IWC models from the 1940s until the early 1990s. It gained a reputation for exceptional accuracy and longevity. Many of the early models are still fully functional and this watch is one of them.
