The IWC Portuguese Hand-Wound Watch is a beautiful timepiece that calls to mind one of the greatest IWC accomplishments of the 20th century. This accomplishment is, of course, the original Portuguese watch of 1939, which came to be as a result of a request from two Portuguese businessmen for an oversized wristwatch which could perform with exceptional precision.
Although its name was not immediately coined, an icon was created, which would strongly define IWC for decades to come. The new IWC Vintage Collection presents a model which pays tribute to the spirit of the original. The IWC Portuguese Hand-Wound watch projects itself boldly with a 44mm case, crafted from stainless steel or platinum, whose strong lugs and thin bezel emphasize the broad dial expanses, and graceful leaf-shaped hands. Inspired by the most fascinating and purposeful of the original dials which IWC fitted to the first Portuguese wristwatches, the face of the Portuguese Hand-Wound presents a highly legible scheme of alternating Arabic numerals and indices. A "chemin de fer" minute track calls to mind the pocket watch heritage which inspired the creation of the original Portuguese of 1939. One concession to modernity which is certainly to be valued, is a crystal made from sapphire, a material far more resistant to scratching than glass or acrylic. Only the finest of movements can serve such a distinguished IWC creation. Thusly, IWC has equipped the Portuguese Hand-Wound watch with the 98295 caliber, which radiates true horological fascination.
The design of the bridges, and the elongated index immediately echo key elements of vintage IWC pocket watch calibers, and the balance wheel frequency of 18,000 beats per hour also points to classical values; a Breguet balance spring is another fine detail of traditional watchmaking quality that connoisseurs will appreciate. A sapphire crystal exhibition back reveals the movement in its full glory; fully wound, the power reserve is 46 hours. The IWC Portuguese Hand-Wound watch is presented in stainless steel, with a captivating black dial. IWC also offers a model in platinum, with an elegant silver dial, to commemorate the 140th anniversary of IWC's 1868 founding; this special model will be limited to a series of 500. Both models are fitted with luxurious alligator straps, and a steel or platinum buckle decorated with the IWC signature.
