In 1868, the American engineer and watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones founded the International Watch Company - the first and only watch manufacturer in north-eastern Switzerland. As a location, he chose a site near the Rhine, once the orchard of the Allerheiligen monastery – a former Benedictine monastery with the oldest building in Schaffhausen. According to plans by the architect G. Meyer, the first factory building was built between 1874 and 1875 in the garden on the banks of the Rhine. Behind the impressive facade of the building, IWC has been making unique watches for 150 years, many of which are now legendary. On the occasion of its 125th anniversary, IWC opened an exclusive museum on the top floor of the original building at its headquarters in 1993 - which was already a listed building at the time - and was the first Swiss watch manufacturer to have such a facility.
