IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Watches

The inspiration behind the Portugieser model dates back to the late 1930s with a special order from two Portuguese merchants, Rodrigues and Teixeira. They were looking for a wristwatch that would offer the precision of the chronometers used for maritime navigation. Although the Portugieser initially met with limited success when it was first created, IWC has continuously refined it over the years, maintaining its original aesthetic while incorporating numerous innovations. It was in 1993 that the Portugieser began to gain the widespread popularity it enjoys today, when the Swiss brand launched an iconic edition of the collection to celebrate the 125th anniversary of its manufacture. Today, Portugieser watches embody elegance and sophistication by combining refined aesthetics with cutting-edge horological mechanics, solidifying their position as one of IWC’s iconic collections.
