Transparent, open, and clear, that has been the ideology behind some of the best IWC timepieces ever created. Apparently, the new 2020 releases from IWC follow a similar path. IWC recently launched three brand new variants of the coveted Portugieser Chronograph. The watches are as ecstatic as any Portugieser reference with a hint of increased style and panache. Two of the three timepieces are regular models while the third is introduced as a boutique exclusive. The Portugieser Chronograph has played a huge, nay, monumental role in establishing the foundations of the modern Haute Horlogerie industry and the latest additions are no different.

The design of the watch is both functional as well as fluent. The timepieces feature staple Portugieser attributes such as Roman numeral hour markers and sleek Feuille hands. These design cues have made the IWC Portugieser Chronograph an iconic watch among watch enthusiasts across the globe. But these are not the only features that have made this watch a sensation. There are key elements like the quarter-second markings on the flange that have given the watch its unique identity. The watches in this release utilise a butterfly folding clasp which happens to be very comfortable and easy to use.
A Spectacular Movement For A Spectacular Watch – Calibre 69355
Every watch deserves a movement that not just complements it but also helps it perform at its peak at all times. After all, timekeeping is a 24×7 gig. Calibre 69355 is an in-house movement with an evergreen column-wheel system. The rugged yet precise mechanism offers a 46-hour power reserve and operates at 4 Hertz or 28,800 vibrations per hour. All the watches in this release have this movement.
