IWCPublished 2017-10-01

IWC's "Portugieser" was born as early as the 19s in the 30 century. In the 90s, IWC reissued a batch, which quickly sparked a trend of large watches in the watchmaking world that remains strong to this day. Afterwards, IWC's Portugieser collection became increasingly comprehensive, and looking back, it has been nearly 80 years. Next, I will introduce an IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph to you.

　　Introduction to the IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph

　　The "Yacht Club" was once avidly sought after by watch enthusiasts back then, and is now a rare collectible treasure in the market. The new-generation Yacht Club does not copy past designs at all; in fact, the external visual form is merely the expression of design, and the most important thing is that it captures the essence of the design—inheriting the sporting spirit of the "Yacht Club". Because of this, this watch not only faithfully retains the style of the Portugieser collection, but also adds quite a few technical innovations.

　　The chronograph function of this watch is very distinctive, with the minute and hour displays sharing the same sub-dial. Although there are many styles of chronograph totalisers, it is rare to find one with such convenient and clear legibility as this watch. Rationalism dictates that "form follows function", and using this viewpoint to consider the continuation and fading of a style characteristic can actually offer us inspiration on many levels.

　　Having seen this, I would like to recommend a popular bestseller among IWC watches. If you would like to know more, please add WeChat for enquiries.
