IWC Portugieser IW544401 manual-winding mechanical watch

IWC Brand History

IWC was founded in 1868, with 137 years of watchmaking history. The founder of IWC was Florentine A. Jones, an American engineer from Boston, who established one of Switzerland's earliest mechanical watch factories in a facility by the Rhine, realising his innovative vision of using machinery to replace some manual labour to produce more precise components, which were then assembled by top watchmakers into watches of exceptional quality. IWC is renowned as " high-end watch engineer ", specialising in the manufacture of men's wristwatches. Classic styles coupled with ingenious design, elegant and refined, with extremely straightforward operation — this is the world-renowned IWC watch.

Portuguese collection

Tracing back to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Portugal far surpassed other major powers in maritime exploration and was thus hailed as the most outstanding navigation expert of the time; they not only discovered new shipping routes and lands but subsequently helped the Swiss watchmaking industry flourish, even as late as nineteen thirty-six in the twentieth century. At that time, two Portuguese merchants, Rodrigues and Teixeira, visited Schaffhausen and ordered a stainless steel watch from IWC that was as accurate as a marine chronometer, thus giving birth to the IWC Portugieser collection. With its extreme precision and stunningly beautiful appearance, it quickly became a legend in the watch world.

Manager's Review

Separated sub-dials with individual hour markers make each feature clear at a glance. The symmetrical and uniform design is exceptionally appealing and highly recommended!
