It combines an 18-carat Armor Gold\u00ae case with an Obsidian lacquered dial and gold-plated hands and gold appliques. The flying minute tourbillon at 6 o\u2019clock consists of 56 parts and weighs only 0.675 grams.

The collection is also a testament to IWC Schaffhausen\u2019s comprehensive expertise in fine watchmaking. Over the years, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer has presented many Portugieser watches with high complications, ranging from different versions of its perpetual calendar and tourbillons to the astronomical displays of the Portugieser Sid\u00e9rale Scafusia \u2013 to this day the most complicated watch ever made by IWC Schaffhausen. With its unique engineering approach to fine watchmaking, IWC develops complications that are ingenious, highly robust and reliable, and technically elegant in their design.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to its legacy of high complications, IWC presents the Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon Day & Night (Ref. IW545901) with a polished and brushed 18-carat Armor Gold\u00ae case, gold-plated hands, and gold appliques. Thanks to its improved microstructure, Armor Gold\u00ae is significantly harder and more wear- resistant than conventional 5N gold. The Obsidian black and highly polished dial radiates a tremendous depth and creates a beautiful contrast. The watch is fitted with a finely crafted curved black alligator leather strap from Santoni, a renowned Italian manufacturer of luxury shoes and leather accessories. The flying minute tourbillon at 6 o\u2019clock is one of the most sophisticated complications in watchmaking. Assembling and fine- tuning this delicate mechanism is a task reserved for the most experienced master watchmakers at IWC Schaffhausen. The tourbillon places the balance wheel and pallet lever inside a small cage that rotates around its axis once every minute. This constant rotation reduces the influence of gravity on the oscillating system of the watch, thereby increasing its accuracy. As the tourbillon cage is stopped and accelerated several times per second, its total weight must be as low as possible. Although the mechanism consists of 56 individual parts, it only weighs 0.675 grams in total. The pallet lever and escape wheel are made of silicon and treated with a special diamond coating. This Diamond Shell\u00ae technology reduces friction and improves the flow of energy in the movement, contributing to the high power reserve of 84 hours. Thanks to the integrated tourbillon stop, the mechanism can be brought to a complete stop and the watch set with down-to-the-second accuracy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A UNIQUE WAY TO SHOW THE ENDLESS CYCLE OF DAY AND NIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another highlight can be found at 9 o\u2019clock: the 24-hour indication in the shape of a small planet. The globe has a dark and a bright side and rotates around its axis once every 24 hours, offering a captivating visualisation of whether it is currently day or night. The idea for this special day and night concept came from former watchmaker trainee Loris Spitzer and is a testament to the success of IWC\u2019s trainee program and the culture of curiosity and innovation that the company fosters. The day and night indication is integrated into the newly developed IWC- manufactured 81925 calibre. As the movement is hand- wound and has no oscillating mass, the small globe is visible from the front and back. The gold-plated base plate is partly skeletonised to offer an unimpeded view of the barrel and other components. The movement is elaborately finished with circular Geneva stripes and can be admired through the sapphire glass case back.<\/p>","description_short":"","quantity":0,"minimal_quantity":"0","available_now":"","available_later":"","price":71666.666667,"specificPrice":false,"additional_shipping_cost":"0.00","wholesale_price":"0.000000","on_sale":"0","online_only":"0","unity":"","unit_price":0,"unit_price_ratio":"0.000000","ecotax":"0.000000","reference":"IW545901","supplier_reference":"","location":"","width":"0.000000","height":"0.000000","depth":"0.000000","weight":"0.000000","ean13":"","upc":"","link_rewrite":"iwc-portugieser-hand-wound-tourbillon-day-night","meta_description":"THE IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN PORTUGIESER HAND-WOUND TOURBILLON WITH A GLOBE-SHAPED DAY AND NIGHT INDICATION Schaffhausen\/Geneva, 9th April 2024: IWC Schaffhausen int...","meta_keywords":"","meta_title":"Watch IWC IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon Day & Night | Portuguese IW545901 Armor Gold\u00ae - Obsidian Dial - Strap Alligator","quantity_discount":"0","customizable":"0","new":false,"uploadable_files":"0","text_fields":"0","active":"1","redirect_type":"","id_product_redirected":"0","available_for_order":"0","available_date":"0000-00-00","condition":"new","show_price":"1","indexed":"0","visibility":"both","date_add":"2024-08-20 17:17:11","date_upd":"2024-08-22 13:26:00","tags":false,"base_price":"71666.666667","id_tax_rules_group":"1","id_color_default":0,"advanced_stock_management":"0","out_of_stock":2,"depends_on_stock":false,"isFullyLoaded":true,"cache_is_pack":"0","cache_has_attachments":"1","is_virtual":"0","id_pack_product_attribute":null,"cache_default_attribute":"0","category":"portugaise","pack_stock_type":"0","id":9017,"id_shop_list":null,"force_id":false,"customization_required":false}
