Independent IWC service

Vintage IWCs are serviced only by IWC's heritage watchmakers in Schaffhausen: about 13 weeks on average, plus shipping to and from Switzerland. For an older piece, an independent with IWC experience is worth considering. Keep originality in mind: IWC can refuse a certificate of authenticity if it finds parts that are not genuine.

Before you ship, ask

  • Is my watch still under IWC's warranty (8 years if registered with My IWC)? If so, use IWC first.
  • How does your quote compare with IWC's Service Price Calculator estimate?
  • Do you use genuine IWC parts, and where do they come from?
  • For vintage pieces: have you serviced this caliber before, and will you keep the original dial and hands?
  • Are you authorized by IWC Schaffhausen for service, and where does that show on IWC Schaffhausen's own website?
  • Will the work be done on site, or sent elsewhere? If it is sent on, where does it go, and does the quote add a fee on top of the service center's charge?

Providers on this page were researched against our Standard at the time they were listed and are rechecked periodically. Details can change between checks, so confirm terms, pricing and turnaround directly with the provider before sending your watch.
