The Portofino Perpetual Calendar is equipped with the legendary perpetual calendar developed by Kurt Klaus in the 1980s. With a diameter of just 40 millimetres, this watch is the smallest perpetual calendar in IWC’s portfolio. This version has a stainless steel case, a silver-plated dial and gold-plated hands and appliqués.
The sophisticated mechanism is mechanically programmed to recognise the different lengths of the months as well as the leap years. It runs completely autonomously, without any manual adjustments, until the year 2100. The IWC Manufacture calibre 82650 can be viewed through a transparent case back.
Portofino all models
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.
