In accordance with the superior traits of the two legendary movement of Piaget, namely the 600P rectangular automatic tourbillon movement and the 1208P automatic movement, both ultrathin, the brand new 1270P has challenged the limit of watchmaking with a thickness of merely 5. 35mm, embodying Piaget’s incomparable technology and aesthetic innovation.

The case, available in either 18K platinum or rose gold, is 46. 5mm wide and is water resistant to 30 meters. On the case back are the Piaget’s insignia, the serial number of the 1270P, and two transparent windows – one for power reserve display use while the other for tourbillon frame. Through the dazzling sapphire crystal dial which has undergone laser treatment you can see the self – winding device and the details of the hour and minute hands. At the 10 o’clock position lies the off – centered gold automatic plate, artfully forming the lucky number – 8 with the off – centered tourbillon frame at the 1 o’clock position. The off – centered hour and minute hands are placed at the 5 o’clock position.

The remarkable design concept of the Emperador Coussin Tourbillon which pertains to the Black Tie collection, such as the decoration which has undergone laser treatment, the actinomorphic hour markers, and gold frame of automatic plate, are all deducted again in elegant and modern manner. It can be said without exaggeration that brilliant modern sense and traditional high – level watch – making craft are faultlessly and completely reflected.

International Watch Company is short for IWC which is a Swiss watch manufacture located in Schaffhausen, Switzerland established by Florentine A. Jones who was an American engineer in Boston. His earliest mechanical watch factory was nearby Rhine and that was the very place he realized his dream: combining the craftsmanship of the Swiss with the modern engineering technology from the U.S. to manufacture movements and watch parts for the American market. Since its foundation in 1868, it has a history of over one hundred and forty years.

IWC’s motto is Probus Scafusia (L.) which means good, solid craftsmanship from Schaffhausen and was officially established as the Official Motto in 1903.

History

In 1868, an American engineer and watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones who had been a director of E. Howard & Co., in Boston, then America’s leading watch making company, founded the International Watch Company with the intention of producing high quality watch mechanism for the American market. Jones developed the Jones watch movement which is kind of high quality pocket watch with lengthening hands adjustor to do micro adjustment.

The Portuguese series of watches

In 1874 IWC become a joint-stock company.

Between 1874 and 1875, it established its 15th factory nearby Rhine which is now its headquarter site. And at the end of 1875 IWC has almost two hundred employees.

In 1876, IWC lost its most important market as the US government started to levy import tariff on watches. It was at that time Jones left the company and Schaffhauser

Handelsbank took over IWC and the American citizen Frederic Frank Seeland was assigned as the new board manager.

In 1897 IWC took part in the World Exposition in Sydney but failed. And that was an end to Seeland’s management strategy.

In 1880 the engine manufacture of Schaffhauser Johannes Rauschenbach- Vogel won the ownership.
