IWC of Contributions
After discovering the alloys for assembling anti-magnetic watches many watch-making brands use the materials in production and try to improve the performance of such timepieces. The most outstanding watches of this class were made by IWC: in 1989 IWC assembled the Ingenieur. It was able to withstand a huge magnetic field of 500,000 A/m. In 1993, when IWC celebrated its 125th birthday, the company substituted this model with a more conventional Ingeneur, resisting a magnetic field of 80,000 A/m. IWC Pilots' watches have the feature of showing accurate time under a moderate magnetic pressure too.
