It was just such watches as IWC produces that Florentine Jones intended to forge together in his vision when the International Watch company was established. The "awakening power" of Industrial America! However, since the industrial revolution is over such timepieces, unlike many machines of yesteryear, have lost none of their use, appearance or our desire to own. Time goes on and forever will, thus our insatiable need to know what time it is also goes on. Man will never lose his need to know the hour, the minute or the second when he sits or stands at any point of his life now that he knows he can place a number on each increment of his existence. Lucky for such makers of accurate time pieces that civilization itself is run by the small, but stylish piece of jewelry attached to man''s or women''s wrists. We are a slave to time therefore we, most of us, designate our stature by wearing the slave bracelet, the watch, but we do so in real style and elegance. Fear not IWC also manufacturer’s replicas of many other watches which can qualify the wearer of such just as the originals do. And, they match the quality standards of the original maker. Proof that anyone can look like a million by wearing a copy. Alas! Such is ego.
