IWC Schaffhausen

In 1868, Boston watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones founded the “International Watch Company” in Schaffhausen. He drew on the help of eminently qualified Swiss watchmakers, modern technology from America and hydropower sourced from the nearby River Rhine to manufacture watch movements of the highest possible quality. Committing to this heritage for the past 150 years, IWC’s mechanical timepieces are still handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail.

Brand New Portugieser

The new IWC Portugieser Chronograph features a fresh dial color, Dune, inspired by the golden hue of the evening sun. This warm tone, combined with a stainless steel case and a black alligator leather strap, creates a striking impression. The sub-dials follow the brand's characteristic vertical layout, with the minute counter positioned at 12 o'clock for enhanced legibility, and the small seconds at 6 o'clock. The inner bezel, marked with quarter-second increments, allows precise timekeeping while maintaining an elegant and refined appearance.
