Unveiling the Portugieser Legacy

The Portugieser line originated in the 1930s when IWC was known for its robust pilot's watches. However, it was the Portuguese clients who challenged the brand to create a wristwatch as accurate as a marine chronometer. This led to the creation of the first Portugieser in 1939, a watch that was both large and elegant, featuring details like feuille hands and embossed Arabic numerals. Despite its rarity, the Portugieser line has remained a favorite among collectors, with the original production totaling only 304 examples with the Calibre 74 movement.

Revitalizing a Legacy

• In the 1990s, IWC was inspired by a customer wearing an original Portugieser to revitalize the collection.
• The Portugieser Hand-Wound Eight Days 75th Anniversary pays homage to this rich history, offering a blend of tradition and modern innovation.

This watch is not just a timepiece; it's a piece of history. Embrace the legacy of the Portugieser and experience the perfect blend of style, precision, and craftsmanship.
