Florentine Aristo Jones founded IWC in 1868. In 1867, he applied for a European passport with the ambition to create watches using the American system of Watchmaking. This system was derived from the Federal Armories at Springfield and Harpers Ferry. High-precision interchangeable parts were needed for armaments, and this was perfect for use in watchmaking. Florentine was a pioneer in introducing it to the Swiss. In 1868, Florentine and Charles Kidder ended up in  Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Originally called the company F. A Jones & Co, which was later changed to IWC International Watch Company. Florentine returned to the USA in 1876, where he retired and sadly passed away in 1916. His spirit carries on today in the modern IWC watches.
