With the Yacht Club Moon & Tide, IWC Schaffhausen presents for the first time a completely newly developed display of the tides on watches from the Portuguese family. An auxiliary dial installed at 6 o’clock shows exactly when the tide is expected to rise. The corresponding moon-phase display at 12 o’clock has been expanded to include the function of displaying jumping and neap tides. This means that not only the time of the tide change can be read, but also its respective strength.
The 18-carat pink gold case, the blue dial, the gold-plated hands and appliqués in 18-carat gold underline the maritime character of this watch. The IWC Manufacture Calibre 82835 has a Pellaton winding system with ceramic components and offers a power reserve of 60 hours.
Portugieser 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.
