IWC

A combination of American style and Swiss technology. Florentine Ariosto Jones, an American from Boston, rented his first factory in Schaffhausen, Switzerland in 1869. Florentine Ariosto Jones had set a goal to combine the American system of mechanism with the detailed work of the Swiss.

The IWC factory was the only watch factory in East Switzerland even until this day. Ferdinand Porsche worked for IWC as an external designer for the watches and he was the one who introduced the idea of using titanium to manufacture watches. IWC was the first watch company to use titanium to manufacture a watch.
