How to identify genuine IWC watches?
Introduction: Everyone knows that IWC watches are famous for their quality and precise timekeeping, as well as their impressive appearance. Therefore, many successful individuals are fond of IWC watches. However, there are many fakes on the market. Below, I will teach you how to identify the authenticity of an IWC watch!
Distinguishing by appearance:
The logo and lettering on the dial and case back of a genuine IWC watch are clear, complete, and either laser-engraved or inlaid. Replica watches may have blurred printing. The jewel count on a genuine watch will match the count indicated on the dial, whereas this may not be the case for replicas. Genuine IWC watches feature stainless steel cases with pocket watch movements and are equipped with arched-edge crystals; the sapphire crystal is clear and pristine. Replicas often have rough edges, and the plating on the strap or dial may bubble or peel, with components frequently prone to breakage.
Distinguishing by movement:
Genuine IWC watch movements, such as the 89365 calibre in-house chronograph movement, are equipped with a soft-iron inner case to effectively protect this precision masterpiece from magnetic fields. The interior of a genuine movement is clean, whereas replica movements often contain impurities. The rotor or main plate of a genuine IWC movement will feature clear, corresponding branding, which replica IWC watches lack due to less refined craftsmanship. A genuine IWC watch should be robust and stable, showing no time deviation even after years of use, whereas replica IWC movements are of lower quality, making time deviation or stopping common.
Distinguishing by price and packaging:
The price of a genuine IWC watch usually ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. If you purchase a watch for a few thousand, the probability of it being a genuine IWC is very low. Choosing a formal channel is also important; purchasing from an authorised boutique or a professional luxury goods website ensures you need not worry about buying a fake. Genuine IWC watches should come with packaging, accessories, a warranty card, an instruction manual, and a boutique presentation box. Replica IWC watches rarely possess these items.
