Aquatimer Watches
| The International Watch Company (IWC) is a Swiss company, founded by an American. Florentine Jones made the decision in the 1860s to establish a manufactory in Switzerland. In so doing, he was able to take advantage of the Swiss watchmaking expertise and lower wages of the workers. Jones was not well-funded, however, and he eventually had to give up control of the company. Over the years, the company changed ownership many times and experienced a veritable roller-coaster of success and failures. Today, however, the IWC is a strong participant on the world stage of luxury timepieces. | |
Aquatimer WatchesThe Aquatimer is a sturdily built diver's watch in the professional category. All of the watches in this class are build solely from titanium with a choice of titanium or rubber strap. Every single Aquatimer is tested for pressure resistance down to 2000 metres and the watch is instantly identifiable by the two large easy-to-operate crowns positioned off-centre on the edge of the case where they will not disturb the diver underwater. The screw-in upper crown is used to adjust the movement and hands on the Aquatimer. To facilitate use of the Aquatimer during dives, the lower one does not screw in and has a complex, self-sealing design. The Aquatimer is technology from professionals for professionals. |
