The IWC Portugieser Chronograph 2024 is all about new dials, coming from a process to make them more bright, with richer hues
The IWC Portugieser collection was first introduced in the 1930s, originally designed for Portuguese navigators seeking precision in marine timekeeping. Its creation stemmed from a request for a wristwatch that could rival the accuracy of pocket watches.
.
The early models featured large dials and clear numerals, emphasizing functionality and readability. Over the decades, the Portugieser evolved, with various complications added, such as chronographs and perpetual calendars, while maintaining its classic aesthetic.
.
In the 1990s, IWC redefined the collection, enhancing both design and technical innovation. Today, the Portugieser remains a symbol of IWC’s commitment to craftsmanship, combining traditional elegance with advanced watchmaking, appealing to both collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
