IWC - INTERNATIONAL WATCH CO.

European Watch Clock and Jewellery Fair 1979 BF 206
A world first : the IWC compass-watch. It brings together, in a lightalloy case that is water-resistant to 30 m, two high-precision instruments : an automatic movement with 21 K-gold rotor turning on 9 jewels (patented system); an extra-thin compass whose needle is set in two sell-lubricating bearings. The compass can be extracted from the case without using tools. The metal bracelet is easy to adjust thanks to its special patented construction. This model was developed jointly by IWO in Schaffhausen and Porsche Designe (IWC - INTERNATIONAL WATCH CO.)
