    Since 1984, the watches in IWC’s Portofino family have brought the ease of the Mediterranean lifestyle to the wrist, combined with a touch of luxury and timeless elegance. Since the launch of the first collection, simple three-hand watches have been a cornerstone of the line. The Portofino Automatic, as it is known today, was introduced in 2003. Thanks to a perfect symbiosis of simplicity and elegance, it has become one of the most popular timepieces from Schaffhausen.

    Since 2019, this model is available with a stainless steel case and a deep blue dial in an unlimited version. The dial colour contrasts beautifully with the gold-plated hands and appliqués. This watch is fitted with a hand-painted black alligator leather strap.

    With a clear focus on technology and development, the Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen has been producing timepieces of lasting value since 1868.

    In the new production facility, the Schaffhauser Uhrenmanufaktur manufactures factory parts and production facilities on an area of ​​13,500 square meters and enclosures under one roof - a milestone in the company's over 150 year history. For example, the entire added value from the raw material through the individual parts of the work to the finished manufacture movement is now arranged on a floor in a logical order.

    The Portuguese

    This very successful timepiece, produced since the mid-30s of the last century, fell out of the usual Art Deco style. While at that time mainly smaller and slimmer wristwatches were available on the market, two Portuguese businessmen turned to the watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen to commission a traditional, large wristwatch with the precision of a pocket watch, for which the Schaffhausen-based company is world-famous. The combination of the Savonette pocket watch calibre 74 with a case suitable for wristwatches set the stylistic and technical standard for all subsequent watches in the Portuguese series.

    The easy-to-read and clearly structured dial skilfully continues the design language of IWC's Portuguese customers known since the 1930s and complements it with another timeless piece of jewellery.
