The new showroom will also house the world's first installation of Bang & Olufsen's new Bespoke Experience, which allows visitors to become designers of their own creations just a stone's throw away from the renowned New York Design Center on Lexington Avenue."

Titanium and ceramic also play a major role, and not just for the watch case. Back in the 1980s, the company was one of the pioneers in the industry in the production of lightweight watches made of titanium.
The brand is known for traditional craftsmanship and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes.
The latter was viewed with skepticism in the early days of IWC Schaffhausen, when Florentine Ariosto Jones, an American watchmaker and assistant manager of the E. Howard Watch and Clock Co. in Boston, wanted to combine Swiss craftsmanship with the modern manufacturing techniques of his native USA as a pioneer. This was the beginning of the International Watch Company in Schaffhausen in 1868, which produced outstanding watches by the highly skilled watchmakers paired with modern technology and with the help of water power from the nearby Rhine. After Jones returned to the USA, the company was taken over by the industrialist family Rauschenbach in Schaffhausen. Over the decades, the company changed hands several times. The last private owner was Hans Ernst Homberger, before IWC Schaffhausen became part of Richemont in 2000.
