In the first 100 years of its existence, IWC became known mainly for the consistent high degree of perfection of its pocket watches and wristwatches. True to its old motto: "Probus Scafusia" - Good, solid craftsmanship from Schaffhausen.

Since 1990, the Grande Complication from IWC has only been produced in an annual maximum of 50 numbered pieces with a platinum or yellow gold case. Its history and its fascinating technical details are actually documented in a magnificent book, which each owner receives along with his watch as the most comprehensive instruction manual ever produced.
