IWC
Founded in 1868 in Schaffhausen in Switzerland, IWC have been creating masterpieces of haute horlogerie for almost 150 years. Since their inception they’ve shown innovation, drawing on the modern technology of the time and using hydropower from the River Rhine to manufacture their movements. First named as The International Watch Company they combine precision engineering with exclusive designs and American pioneering spirit meets Swiss tradition. Their selection boasts a range of styles, from sporty chronographs to more elegant and refined models, with the well-known Portofino and Portugieser models becoming iconic collections.
OFFICINE PANERAI
Conceived in the beautiful Italian city of Florence in 1860, Panerai marries together Italian design with Swiss technology. A passion for the sea is also rooted in their heritage and in the 1900’s they became the supplier of precision instruments to the Royal Italian Navy. This led to the creation of the iconic Radiomir and Luminor collections. They were watches that pushed the limits with their designs and innovations and this deep-rooted link to the sea and military history is all part of the appeal of Panerai. The models are easily recognisable with their distinct character and wearing a Panerai is like ‘owning a memento of an adventure.’
CHANEL
CHANEL is a high fashion brand and every collection is filled with chic and statement designs – their watches are no different. For CHANEL their timepieces are all about ‘the allure of time’ and each and every piece is stamped with the undeniable DNA of CHANEL. Their watches do more than record the time, they make a statement and tell a story. Every collection has its own tale; the Première is the same shape as the Place Vendôme in Paris, whilst the Boy-Friend is a homage to Coco Chanel’s first love. They aren’t just fashion watches though and every CHANEL timepiece is made in Switzerland to ensure their elegant designs are reliable and precise.
