The IWC Museum

230 EXHIBITS AND MASTERPIECES OF ENGINEERING ARTISTRY


The exhibition begins with an exciting journey from the first Jones calibers to wonderfully decorated pocket watches and the first wristwatches. It includes watchmaking masterpieces such as the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar, the first watch featuring the legendary perpetual calendar by Kurt Klaus, and the Portugieser Minute Repeater with the world’s smallest orchestra. Among the more than 230 carefully selected exhibits is the “Il Destriero Scafusia” – at the time the most complicated wristwatch in the world, which was launched to mark the 125th anniversary of the watchmaker.

INSIGHT INTO COMPANY HISTORY


Immerse yourself in the history of IWC’s iconic watch families, such as the Portugieser, the Pilot’s Watches, or the Portofino.

MUSEUM GUIDE

A comprehensive audio guide can be downloaded free of charge from the IWC app. A number of iPads including headphones are also available at the museum.

If you visit us on a Saturday, you will have the opportunity to observe a watchmaker at work and ask them questions. The current collection can be viewed at the IWC boutique next to the museum.
