IWC Portugieser series watches: besides high looks and stamina, men must also perform well and not be clingy
The four best-selling IWC watches on the market: Portofino, Mark 17, Portugieser, and the Portugieser Seven Days. Among these, the Portugieser series occupies two spots.

As early as the late 1930s, two Portuguese merchants asked IWC to order watches that had to achieve the same precision as marine chronometers. This still posed a certain degree of difficulty for the watchmaking technology of that era, after all watchmaking technology was not as developed as it is now, and the only thing that could meet this requirement was to use a bulky pocket watch movement to satisfy precision. Therefore, IWC's watchmakers decided to adopt a 74 hunter pocket watch movement and house it in a wristwatch case, which becameIWC Portugieser watchThe original source of.

The first batch of such "large watches" was destined to be unpopular from the start, as using pocket watch movements to make wristwatches was considered an outdated practice at the time. Simply adding two lugs to a pocket watch to turn it into a wristwatch took no technical skill. The market demanded small, lightweight watches rather than oversized pieces. Consequently, by the early 1980, IWC had produced only a few hundred watches in the Portugieser collection. It was not until 1993, coinciding with the brand's 125 anniversary, that the IWC Portugieser collection was relaunched.

To ensure quick, easy, and accurate time reading, IWC has also applied front and rear double-sided anti-reflective blue coatings on the sapphire crystal of the Portugieser watch. Of course, the IWC Portugieser watch has both strengths and weaknesses. It is attractive and has good longevity, but the workmanship is not outstanding and it is a bit clingy. Much like a man, besides needing to be good-looking and enduring, he must also perform well and not be clingy!
