The Story

The IWC Portugieser is one of the most iconic and revered collections in luxury watchmaking. Introduced in the late 1930s, the Portugieser was initially created in response to a request from two Portuguese businessmen who desired a wristwatch with the precision of a marine chronometer. This request led to the creation of a timepiece that revolutionized the watch industry and became a cornerstone of IWC Schaffhausen’s offerings. The Portugieser is characterized by its clean, elegant design, featuring large dials, Arabic numerals, and slim feuille hands, all contributing to its timeless and sophisticated aesthetic. Over the decades, the collection has evolved, incorporating various complications such as chronographs, perpetual calendars, and tourbillons, while maintaining its classic appeal. The meticulous craftsmanship and engineering excellence that go into each Portugieser is a testament to IWC’s dedication to creating beautiful and functional watches. The collection is beloved by watch enthusiasts and collectors alike, who admire its combination of technical precision and aesthetic harmony. The IWC Portugieser remains a symbol of luxury and refinement, embodying the perfect blend of tradition and innovation in the world of haute horlogerie.

About IWC

The heritage of IWC is deeply rooted in American pioneering spirit and entrepreneurship. Florentine Ariosto Jones, a watchmaker from Boston, founds the International Watch Company in 1868. He draws on the help of eminently qualified Swiss watchmakers, modern technology, and hydropower sourced from the nearby River Rhine to manufacture pocket watch movements of the highest possible quality. The Rauschenbachs, an industrialist family from Schaffhausen, take over the company following Jones’ return to the United States. During its early years, IWC produces pocket watches with a digital “Pallweber” display, as well as wristwatches for women and men.
