    Hi guys, as some of you might have read through my other recent posts i am new to high end watches and new to IWC. That being said, i wanted to know where i can go to get detailed schematic of IWC movements? While i dont plan to open up my new IWC watches i would really like to review the schematics and study the movement. I have the yacht club with 89361 movement.

    I have a Victorinox with an ETA 7753 movement, and was easily able to find a very detailed manual on that movement including detailed schematic on ETA website. i was wondering if i could get the same for my IWC movement?

    While some of IWC's older movements are shown here, buried in the archives, most of the newet movements produced by IWC are considered proprietary intellectual property and aren't available. Hopefully that's understandable.

    The ETA 7753 is an older movement and any patents relating to it have expired. That is one reason you can find ETA clones today.
