About

The IWC Portugieser is a timeless luxury watch renowned for its sophisticated design and precise mechanics. Its history dates back to 1939 when it was first conceived at the request of two Portuguese businessmen seeking a wristwatch with the accuracy of a pocket watch. The Portugieser features a round case, often made from materials like stainless steel, platinum, or 18-karat rose gold, complemented by elegant feuille hands and Arabic numerals.
