With more than 150 years of watchmaking behind it, IWC has produced many models that remain highly regarded for their design, technical merit, and place in the brand’s story. IWC. Curated. has been created to provide collectors with a reliable, transparent way to acquire these earlier watches.
Each watch is chosen by specialists from the IWC Museum and represents a notable period in the company’s long history. The pieces are restored, serviced, and certified in Schaffhausen before being made available in selected boutiques worldwide. All watches in the programme include the IWC International Limited Warranty, which can be extended to eight years on registration.
David Seyffer, Museum Curator at IWC Schaffhausen, explains: “With IWC. Curated., we want to give watch lovers the chance to own a watch that has played a role in our history. Wherever that watch has been before, we prepare it carefully so it’s ready to begin its next chapter.”
Watches selected for IWC. Curated. are sourced by the museum’s experts, focusing on references that mark key moments in the company’s development. IWC can also assist customers who are searching for specific models.
Each piece undergoes a full assessment at IWC’s headquarters. Vintage watchmakers with decades of experience restore cases, bracelets, and movements using original or period-correct components whenever possible. Their work is supported by access to IWC’s corporate archives and an extensive parts inventory that covers virtually every watch and movement produced in Schaffhausen.
Once restored, each watch receives an official certificate confirming its authenticity and provenance. All IWC. Curated. watches are covered by IWC’s International Limited Warranty.
IWC. Curated. will be offered initially in selected boutiques in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Dubai and Japan. The collection can be viewed at the Schaffhausen boutique, the Battersea Power Station boutique in London, the Dubai Mall flagship, and the Ginza boutique in Tokyo.
Highlights include an original Ingenieur SL Ref. 1832 designed by Gérald Genta in the 1970s; the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Ref. 3750 from 1985, featuring Kurt Klaus’s crown-operated perpetual calendar; and a Navigator’s Wristwatch Mark 11 (6B/346) from 1952, produced for the British Royal Air Force.
