IWC Schaffhausen celebrated its 150th birthday and the launch of its Jubilee collection with a gala evening at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) watch fair in Geneva. It comprises a total of 27 limited-edition models from the Portugieser, Portofino, Pilot’s Watch and Da Vinci families.  Around 800 guests participated in the event, including IWC brand ambassadors and global stars such as actors Cate Blanchett, Bradley Cooper and James Marsden, as well as sports personalities Valtteri Bottas and David Coulthard.

The American watchmaking pioneer Florentine Ariosto Jones founded the International Watch Company in Schaffhausen in 1868 with the objective of combining skilled Swiss craftsmanship with American manufacturing technology to create the best pocket watches of his time. To this day, their watches combine precision engineering with design that is as unusual as it is timeless. The jubilee collection revisits icons from the history of IWC and merges them through a timeless design code to form a single striking collection. As an ecologically and socially accountable company, IWC is dedicated to sustainable production, supports institutions around the globe in their work with children and young people, and maintains partnerships with organisations committed to environmental protection.

When two supreme artistry join efforts to boost the elegance of a watch, it’s also the time to celebrate the exclusive nature of this collaboration – a limited edition of 100 pieces of the Reverso Tribute Duoface watch by Jaeger-LeCoultre. Partnering with Argentina’s greatest bootmakers, the warm-toned pink gold case matches with the two-tone cordovan leather strap specially designed and hand-crafted with its own unique patina and finishes making it a one-off. A family business running since 1892, Casa Fagliano works a soft and supple leather known for its great strength, following techniques handed down by long tradition.

This Art Deco design reflects its 1931 inspiration and will be sold exclusively in Jaeger-LeCoultre boutiques. Driven by the Duoface concept, this watch offers two contrasting dials – both equally refined and each displaying a different time zone. Echoing its hand-applied hour markers – the Dauphine hands – on its slate grey sunray dial, it also features a small seconds in a round minute track softening the pure geometrical linearity of the watch. The words “Limited Edition – One of 100” engraved on its back emphasise the exclusive nature of this watch and its refinement will not escape those who appreciate craftsmanship at its authentic and original best. The pursuit of perfection by the Grande Maison and the renowned bootmakers is truly an inspiration to all.
