IWC - Where do they fit in?

[R.J.B]

Hi guys,

I have recently been given an old IWC watch and as they are a brand which I have never paid too much attention to before, I have been trying to do a little research into the company.

I was just curious as to where they are perceived to 'fit in' amongst other watch brands?

For example, I came across this table, generalising the different watch manufactures by class. I don't know how much you will agree with what they are saying, but where in your opinion would IWC best slot into a table like this?

Thanks for your opinions
