IWC Launches App With Virtual Watch Try-On

The IWC APP will bring the Swiss luxury watchmaker even closer to watch lovers, connecting IWC’s global family digitally. The signature launch feature is a virtual watch try-on based on Augmented Reality (AR). Customers can point their camera at their wrist and try on IWC’s 2021 novelties virtually.

“For IWC, technology is never just an end in itself, but always a means to improve our customer’s experience and offer tangible added value. While this year’s Watches and Wonders event will again be held virtually, we wanted to make sure that our partners, clients and fans will be able to see our novelties on their wrists when we reveal them tomorrow. Recent progress in AR technology has been a game changer, allowing us to bring our watches to people’s homes virtually”, explains Dominic Weir, Chief Digital Officer of IWC Schaffhausen.

In addition to the virtual watch try-on, the app is filled with exciting features and exclusive content related to the world of IWC. The brand also plans to reveal compelling stories within its relaunched podcast format. The launch guest will be no other than 7-time F1^TM world champion and IWC brand ambassador Lewis Hamilton. Over the coming months, IWC will gradually and continuously improve and extend the app with new features and content to enhance the customer experience.
