IWC - 1900-1949

Vintage International Watch Co. Schaffhausen windable pocket watch with stainless steel case and chain, still working.

A classic vintage manually wound pocket watch by International Watch Co. Schaffhausen, better known today as IWC. The watch features a clean cream-colored dial with large stylized Arabic numerals, an outer 24-hour track, subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock, and attractive blued steel hands. The dial is signed “International Watch Co. Schaffhausen,” giving the piece strong collector appeal.

The watch is housed in a stainless steel case with a smooth plain back and a decorative ridged bezel. It comes with its attached chain and clasp, making it a complete and displayable vintage piece. The watch is manually wound and is currently running, making it suitable both as a collectible and as a functional vintage timepiece.

The dial shows visible age-related wear, including patina, small marks, and discoloration near the lower edge around the 5–6 o’clock area. The case also shows normal surface wear consistent with age and use. These signs of age give the watch an authentic vintage character and do not take away from its strong presentation.

A desirable vintage IWC Schaffhausen pocket watch with a stainless steel case, original-style dial layout, blue hands, chain attachment, and working manual-wind movement. A good addition for collectors of Swiss watches, vintage pocket watches, or early International Watch Co. pieces.
