The link between IWC and Moser comes about due to a meeting in 1866 between F.A Jones, the founder of IWC, and Heinrich Moser. The latter had returned from Russia extremely wealthy and sunk his money into the building of a hydro-electric power plant in his home town of Schaffhausen. Jones was very impressed with Moser’s ideas and the two collaborated on the project of using hydro-electricity as the power source for the IWC factory.
