This rare iwc impresses with its timelessly elegant shapes and surprises with a small miracle. Unfortunately, this exclusive collector's item is rarely offered. The case and folding clasp are made of solid platinum. It is a very large and present timepiece with a diameter of 44.2 mm without and 46 mm with crown / slide. The crown in the classic iwc shape with non-slip ribbing is a pleasure to hold between the fingers to wind the watch. The dial is an ingenious fine silver and elegantly legible with polished hands and applied numerals. The small second hand rotates in circles at 6 o'clock. On the left side of the case, an elongated, curved slider discreetly catches the eye and suggests that the watch has a surprise in store. It is an iwc that has a minute repeater. With the help of a small hammer and tuned gongs, the watch acoustically indicates the hours and minutes with a wonderful sound. At 11:23 it strikes 11 times (ding) for the hours and once twice for the quarter of an hour (ding-dong) and 8 times (ding) for the minutes. This is set in motion by the slider on the left-hand side and is acoustically a dream. It is wonderful to listen to, especially in quiet surroundings and in the dark. The Portugieser comes on a beautiful black iwc alligator strap with an original iwc folding clasp in platinum. Unfortunately, this model, limited to 500 pieces, is rarely available. The watch is in mint condition and comes from a collector. It bears our uk seal and has a one-year guarantee from the date of purchase.
