The Basics
With its new 37-millimetre Portofino Midsize Automatic, IWC Schaffhausen has made the classically elegant three-hand timepiece more attractive to watch lovers with slimmer wrists. The ten models with their diamond-set bezels or dials will appeal to buyers seeking puristic design combined with a distinct note of luxury. The watch is available in four red-gold and six stainless-steel versions. The flawless precious stones give these watches a radiance of their own, while the design itself remains sleek and simple. The fine sun-pattern finish on the dials reflects light in a myriad of different ways, while the polished surfaces of the case, like the guilloche work, give the watches an opulent style of their own. Alligator leather straps from Santoni in delicate nuances of colour, from light and dark brown to grey and black, as well as in orange, lilac and red, complement the dial and case of nine of the models perfectly, while one of the stainless-steel models is fitted with an exquisite Milanaise mesh bracelet. Each timepiece is also available with a Milanaise mesh bracelet in stainless steel or 18-carat red gold. Reference: IW458105

About IWC
IWC is based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and was founded in 1868. Its signature lines are the Pilot’s Watches and the Portugieser, while other famous collections are the Aquatimer, Portofino and the Da Vinci. Many of IWC’s designs display a industrial type of beauty not often found in Swiss watchmaking. The same goes for its movements; while of very high standards, they are finished with an … engineers touch rather than that of an artist. One could very well say that IWC’s approach to watchmaking is more German in nature compared to many of its competitors; the ‘form follows function’ adagio is one held in high esteem in Schaffhausen. Notable watches and innovations created by IWC in the past include the digital ‘Pallweber’ pocket watch, the late 1930’s Portugieser, the 1985 Da Vinci with Kurt Klaus perpetual module, the split-seconds mechanism as designed by Richard Habring and the ceramic Da Vinci and Flieger 3705 – introduced many years before the material became fashionable. IWC also pioneered the use of titanium in wristwatches. In recent years, IWC has had a strong focus on in-house movements with prices rising accordingly. IWC is part of the Richemont group.
