Pre-Owned IWC Schaffhausen
IWC watches are exceptional in the literal sense. It is a Swiss brand founded by an American; it is a German-speaking manufacture beyond the traditional francophone “watch valley”; it boasts rare strength in both sports and dress watches. In Schaffhausen, the oversized “Portugieser” formal line shares equal billing with the aggressive Pilot’s line of sports models. A true manufacture, IWC is equipped to realize every step of watch production from engineering to the final assembly of its own case and movement components.

IWC watches are the epitome of quality, precision, and luxury. Their long history in high horology has allowed them to hone their craft and remain steadfast in their pursuit of excellence. Collectors who appreciate detailed designs and exceptional, traditional movements love this brand.
IWC is credited for making the first Swiss-made quartz movement. Today, collectors looking for an IWC quartz watch may find them on the pre-owned market, particularly when browsing for Da Vinci timepieces.
The way that the time is set on an IWC watch varies by collection or model. For example, if you're setting the day, date, and time on a IWC GST piece, you would leverage the crown and pushers. If you were setting the time on a Portugieser 7 Day piece, you would also use the crown.
IWC and Omega are equally as impressive when it comes to quality, precision, and craftsmanship. However, collectors with various tastes may prefer different styles, models, and functionalities offered by the two brands. For example, IWC is known for creating more traditional pilot's watches while Omega has created robust pieces that have been sent to the moon like the Speedmaster.
