This present IWC Portuguese F.A. Jones limited edition watch was made in 2005 in honour of the founder, Florentine Ariosto Jones (1841-1916), an American watchmaker from Boston, Massachusetts, who founded the International Watch Company in Schaffhausen in 1868.

For this classic tribute, IWC dedicated a movement to its founder, the 98290 calibre, also known as the F.A. Jones calibre. The movement features a nickel-silver three-quarter bridge decorated with the Geneva stripes and an elongated index to facilitate precision adjustment. Thus, history was reinvented in 2005 and an iconic variation takes its place in the Portuguese watch family which combines aesthetic appeal with technical virtuosity.
