Swiss House Shop is a proud supplier to IWC Schaffhausen

IWC Schaffhausen is celebrating its 150 year anniversary this year and is hosting a number of events for their clients also in Hong Kong. Swiss House Shop has been catering for IWC's corporate events and supplying the IWC Boutique Shops in Hong Kong with Swiss products such as Swiss beer from Brauerei Locher - Quöllfrisch as well as Swiss Edelweiss Gin from XELLENT.

IWC - American Pioneering Spirit Meets Swiss Tradition. In 1868, Boston watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones founded the “International Watch Co.” in Schaffhausen, far from the watchmaking centres of French-speaking Switzerland. His plan was to marry advanced American production technologies with the skilled craftsmanship for which Swiss watchmakers were famous. In Schaffhausen, he found ideal conditions: modern factory premises, a hydropower plant driven by the Rhine to run the machines and, equally important, a centuries-old horological tradition. The company’s reputation was established from the start with its first movement, the eponymous Jones calibre. In 1885, IWC demonstrated its innovative spirit in the Pallweber pocket watches, with their revolutionary digital display for hours and minutes. The end of the 19th century saw the appearance of IWC’s first wristwatches featuring the 64-calibre pocket watch movement.

Swiss House Shop is proud to be part of the IWC supply chain in Hong Kong and we congratulate IWC on their 150 year anniversary and wish the company continued success in the fine art of Swiss watch making.
