DESCRIPTION
- The legacy of the seafarersIWC celebrated its legendary Portuguese watches in 2010The Schaffhausen watch manufacturer IWC celebrated one of its oldest-established watch families in 2010: the Portuguese watches enter their eighth decade. This will be the occasion for some fascinating novelties, such as the Portuguese Grande Complication, the Portuguese Tourbillon Mystère Rétrograde or the Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph. These large format, mechanical precision instruments perpetuate the legacy of the famous seafarers to this day – and hand it down to today’s explorers.“Heroes of the sea, noble race…”, runs the first line of the Portuguese national anthem. It is an expression of the collective memory, in which the great seafarers of Portugal are still very much alive to the present time – Vasco da Gama, Bartolomeu Dias or Fernando Magellan. And in 1934 Fernando Pessoa wrote his national epic “Mar Português – Portuguese Sea”, a homage to the spirit of discovery and heroic courage of the seafarers who made Portugal’s former international standing possible in the first place. Five years later, in 1939, IWC supplied the first Portuguese watches commissioned by two importers in Lisbon and Porto. These were oversized precision timepieces with pocket watch movements in the tradition of nautical instruments. They established a completely new type of watch in those days. Today these watches are a permanent feature of the horological identity of IWC and they are sought-after ambassadors of a watch culture at the highest level all over the world.
In 2010, the Portuguese watches from IWC entered their eighth decade. They have remained entirely faithful to their historical heritage: clarity, size, accuracy and exquisite mechanics. Most of the complications from the Haute Horlogerie of IWC are present in this family of watches today. The horological inventiveness, which finds stylish expression in case diameters from more than 40 to 45 millimetres, is impressive.Occupying a position among the absolute classics of the watch family is the Portuguese Chronograph (Ref. 3714) with its 30-minutes counter and small seconds. This is very much a style icon, and its 40.9 millimetres case also makes it a good choice for male and female connoisseurs of normal sized watches.Success goes from strength to strengthPortuguese ChronographFor more than ten years, it has been the most desirable timepiece in the Portuguese family, a classic automatic chronograph in its purest form.This was the first Portuguese watch on which the time could not only be read, but also measured.

More than ten years ago, it already combined sporting appeal and high suitability for everyday use with the timeless elegance of the Portuguese design, making it a true classic whose success has continued unbroken for years.
