Watch aficionados, you’re not going to want to miss this. To commemorate its 150th Anniversary, iconic Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen will run a retrospective exhibition at ION Orchard, from the 1 to 13 May.
The space is designed in the industrial style of the IWC manufacture in its early days, and invites members of the public to trace the adventurous footsteps of F. A. Jones, founder of the iconic watch company, to how he ushered in the modern age of watchmaking today.
