"IWC. Curated.": Exclusive collection of historic timepieces in selected boutiques

The watches in the “IWC.Curated.” collection come from key periods in IWC’s more than 150-year history and are individually selected and sourced by experts from the IWC Museum. They are available now in select boutiques worldwide.

Every watch bearing the “IWC. Curated”. label has been carefully inspected, restored and serviced by experienced watchmakers specializing in vintage watches at IWC in Schaffhausen.

The watches are certified and come with IWC's international guarantee, which can be extended to eight years upon registration.

“With our ‘IWC. Curated.’ collection, we want to offer watch enthusiasts the unique opportunity to own a timepiece that has shaped our heritage. No matter what journey these watches have already taken, we carefully prepare them so that they are ready for the next chapter,” said Dr. David Seyffer, historian and curator of the IWC Museum in Schaffhausen.

For maintenance and repairs, authentic, and where possible, period-correct components are used to restore the watches to their original condition as closely as possible. The watchmakers therefore have exclusive access to IWC's extensive company archives, which contain a wide selection of spare parts for all watches and movements ever manufactured in Schaffhausen.

Sales launch in selected boutiques

Enthusiasts can discover the historic watches in the boutique in Schaffhausen, in the boutique in London's Battersea Power Station (UK), in the flagship boutique in the Dubai Mall (United Arab Emirates) and in the boutique in Ginza (Japan).

Among the available watches is an original “Ingenieur SL” (reference 1832), designed in the 1970s by the renowned Geneva watch designer and artist Gérald Genta.

Another watch from the “IWC. Curated.” collection is the “Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph” (Ref. 3750) from 1985, the first IWC watch with the perpetual calendar developed by Kurt Klaus. With this perpetual calendar, adjustable via the crown, the IWC watchmaker created a complication in the early 1980s that continues to set standards for efficiency and ease of use.

Also offered is a “Navigator’s Wristwatch Mark 11” (store reference number 6B/346), an antimagnetic “tool watch” manufactured in 1952 for the British Royal Air Force.
