Additional Information
The fact that the modern interpretation bears such an uncanny resemblance to the 'mother of all IWC Pilot's Watches' is no coincidence: the classical cockpit look of the design,.
From a technical point of view, the Pilot's Watch Hand-Wound with its 44-millimeter diameter represents the state of the art. Instead of the original 83 caliber, the Pilot's Watch Hand-Wound features a pocket watch movement from the 98000-caliber family - hand-wound with a large screw balance and Breguet spring.
The basic calibre stems from the 1930s and has been series-produced for longer than most other IWC movements. Through the sapphire glass back you can see two technical features reminiscent of the first Jones calibre of 1868: the decorated nickel-silver three-quarter bridge and the Jones arrow. The elongated index served IWC's founder as a means of adjusting the balance's oscillating frequency and has remained a hallmark of Jones watches to this day.
As in all the models of the IWC Vintage Collection, the platinum version is limited to 500 watches, although the stainless steel version is unlimited.
About IWC
Founded in 1868 by an American, Florentine Jones, in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, IWC is probably best known for its world-beating complicated timepieces. IWC is a fully integrated Watch Manufacture; creating and assembling its own movements, parts and watches all under one roof. IWC continues to contribute significant technical advancements in the world of watchmaking, including anti-gravity and anti-magnetic movements.

Two Year Warranty
We sell luxury timepieces at considerably lower prices than the manufacturers list price. Gemnation is not
an Authorized IWC Watch Dealer and is not affiliated with IWC. Authorized dealers are not permitted
to discount or sell watches on the Internet. For this reason, we choose not to be authorized watch dealers
for many of the brands that we sell.
Since we are not authorized dealers for many of the watch manufacturers, we may be unable to ship the original
watch manufacturers warranty. In all cases, however, we provide a Two Year Gemnation Warranty (active from the
date of purchase).
Gemnation utilizes a full-time Swiss-trained watchmaker who is licensed and trained to repair every brand and
model of watch that we sell. If we can supply the original warranty we provide this information in the individual
watch description.
