How Much is Your IWC Worth?

The following 4 aspects influence how much you will receive for your IWC Watch:

• Rarity – If you own a limited edition or vintage IWC watch, you can expect to receive premium offers from buyers. Vintage IWC watches are highly sought-after pieces by collectors. The watches are coveted for their design, craftsmanship, and materials used to manufacture these exquisite pieces.
• Condition – To ensure you receive a high value for your watch, your timepiece needs to be in excellent internal and external condition.
• Movement – The components of your watch need to function smoothly. If there are issues with either the internal or external elements, it could negatively affect the value of your watch. It is also vital for you to opt for authentic IWC parts to be used if any components need to be replaced during a service. Using third-party components could reduce the value of your watch.
• Maintenance – It is essential to service your watch approximately every 5 years. During the service, functional tests are performed. The tests include checking the power reserve and measuring the rate and accuracy for 12 hours. The water resistance and aesthetical aspects of your watch are also checked. You will need to have the information about your last service available for any potential buyers who may enquire about when and where your watch was last serviced.

How To Get The Best Price For Your IWC Watches

You are guaranteed to receive a higher value for your watch if it has been kept in pristine condition. If you require advice on taking care of your IWC watch, these tips below will assist you.

• Take good care of it – Avoid using water and soap to clean your watch; instead, use a microfiber cloth to wipe the sapphire glass on the front before moving on to the lugs, crown, and the case back of the watch. Wind your watch at least once a month, even if it's not being worn. This will help keep the movement lubricated. Extreme temperatures could affect the accuracy of your watch, so you should protect your timepiece in extremely high or low weather conditions. You also need to ensure a water-resistance check is completed once a year. To help preserve the quality of your leather straps, avoid any contact with water, cosmetics, solvents, or oil. Your watch should also be protected from prolonged exposure to magnetism.
• Service it frequently – IWC watches require a complete service approximately every 5 years. The time interval between services depends on your wearing habits, the environment you're in, how frequently the watch is worn, and the intensity of the physical activity you participate in.
• Keep Your Box & Papers – Selling your timepiece with its original packaging and documentation adds a layer of authenticity to your timepiece. You can include manuals, warranty cards, or a certificate of authenticity.

Should I Service my IWC Watch before Selling it?

No, your IWC watch should not be serviced just before you sell it. Servicing a watch can be expensive, and there is no guarantee that the service will add extra value to your watch. The second reason you should not service your watch is that it will allow the new owner to decide what changes they would like made on the watch during the next service. While some new owners prefer to keep the timepiece in its current condition, others choose to make amendments.

During the physical assessment process at our store, our team is tasked with identifying any severe damage to your timepiece. If we detect any damage, we will inform you. We will also advise you to allow our experienced and skilled watchmakers to service your IWC watch.

About IWC Watches

Known for its luxury aviation watches and innovative use of ceramic and titanium in watchmaking, the IWC Schaffhausen brand continues to fulfill its motto which centers around providing excellent and solid craftsmanship.

This Swiss luxury watch brand was founded in Switzerland by American watchmaker and engineer Florentine Ariosto Jones in 1868. After traveling from Boston to Schaffhausen, he envisioned an industrialized and centralized watch production that would be powered directly by the river's current.

Determined to bring his vision to life, Jones enlisted the help of qualified Swiss watchmakers and used modern technology and hydropower sourced from the nearby River Rhine to produce pocket watch movements of the highest quality.

The everlasting energy of the water helped bring the founder's dream to fruition and inspired and shaped the way IWC watches were made. IWC was determined to create watches that were designed to last for eternity while remaining respectful to our planet and its resources.

According to IWC, their watches are built to last a lifetime, and this is reflected in their movements, solid and reliable chronographs, mechanically programmed calendars, and the advanced materials they use to manufacture their timepieces.

From robust watches for everyday use to professional sports watches, IWC's watch collections include the Pilot's Watches, Portugieser, Ingenieur, Aquatimer, and Portofino.

When deciding on the materials to use for their watches, IWC searches for resources that meet a timepiece's functional and aesthetic demands. They take into account all the specific properties and the advantages that each one offers.

Some of the materials that IWC uses include titanium, which is light and unbreakable. They also use ceratanium, developed by IWC, making it possible to create a completely black watch without any form of coating for the first time. Other types of material include 18 ct Armor Gold, bronze, ceramics, and platinum.

In 2018, IWC was placed first among 15 other Swiss watchmakers after they were recognized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) for its environmental efforts.

IWC's best-selling watches include the Portugieser Chronograph, Big Pilot's Watch, Pilot's Watch Mark XVIII, and the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph.
