Since the foundation of the IWC (International Watch Company) in 1868 by Florentine Ariosto Jones, a Swiss watchmaker, the company released a great number of notable timepieces. This year, IWC marked its 140th anniversary by introducing series of its legendary watches as vintage models, calling them "new interpretations of good old friends".
IWC always valued its traditions and tried to rework its oldest models several times by introducing Portuguese model with a large dial in 1970s or the Portofino watch in 1984, the attempts were not met with enthusiasm on a watch market. However, the appearance of the new Portofino version in 1993 marked a new age of large men's watches that became popular to this day.
The new collection of watches includes such models as the 1936 Pilot's Watch, the 1939 Portuguese, the 1955 Ingénieur, the 1967 Aquatimer diver's watch, the 1969 Da Vinci, and the 1984 Portofino.
The six renowned models were reborn in new interpretation with larger dials. It made the watches easily readable. For example, the Ingénieur watch of the 1955 model acquired a 42,5 millimeters dial expanding from its feminine appearance to its more masculine look.
The new Pilot Watch will impress its owner with its new advances like antimagnetic parts and waterproof and scratchproof properties, anti-reflective cover of the crystal face. However, it preserves the initial charm of the model and is fitted with the hand-wound pocket watch movement. The 1936 Pilot watch had luminescent hands and numerals, special device to calculate the time of the flight and fuel consumption. Today the famous IWC watch was upgraded to meet the highest standards of reliability.
The new 2008 IWC Da Vinci watch is equipped with mechanical movement unlike its 1969 model that was the first quartz watch made in Switzerland. The older version was a great success at the Basel trade fair in 1970 with its absolutely new vision on accuracy. These days, IWC decided to return to its traditional craftsmanship, revealing Da Vinci watch with traditional all times mechanical movement.
The new IWC Aquatimer watch may seem to be less endowed than its older version. Boasting the great waterproof properties, the popular diver's watch released in 1967 was waterproof to 200 meters. The new model is waterproof to 120 meters depth, but is endowed with transparent caseback, so that anyone could admire the movement of the watch.
