IWC Presents Jubilee Collection To Celebrate Its 150th Birthday

IWC Schaffhausen is turning 150 next year. To celebrate this milestone, the company is set to unveil a special Jubilee collection at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) watch fair in Geneva, comprising a total of 27 limited-edition models from the Portugieser, Porto no, Pilot’s Watches and Da Vinci families.

To mark this occasion, IWC is also launching its first-ever wristwatch to feature the original digital hours and minute display as it appeared on the Pallweber pocket watches back in 1884. The one aesthetic element all these timepieces share is their imprinted dial in white or blue, an effect that is achieved by a process of applying several layers of lacquer, reminiscent of heritage enamelled nishes.
