"A Legend of Horology – The 132-Year-Old IWC Schaffhausen Masterpiece."

This Antique IWC Schaffhausen Conversion is a breathtaking bridge between the 19th and 21st centuries. At its heart lies the legendary Caliber 52, manufactured in 1893. This movement represents the pinnacle of IWC's early engineering, featuring a gold-plated finish and precision adjustments that made Schaffhausen famous for "Probus Scafusia"—good, solid craftsmanship from the Rhine.

The watch features its original antique porcelain/enamel dial, a material prized for its "immortality" as it never fades or patinas. Adorned with rare Roman numerals and original period-correct IWC hands, the dial offers a level of elegance that modern watches struggle to replicate. Reborn in a robust 47mm stainless steel case with an exhibition back, this timepiece allows you to wear a museum-grade engine on your wrist.

Collector Notes & Investment Potential

Conversion watches featuring high-grade IWC movements are among the most sought-after by collectors worldwide. This specific example is powered by the historic Caliber 52 with movement number 98096, verifying its 1893 production. The combination of a massive "Jumbo" presence and the flawless porcelain dial makes this an investment-grade piece that is both a mechanical wonder and a bold style statement.
