IWC Portugieser Collection goes BIG with 45m year moonphase
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
These days, IWC is known for its pilot's watches, involvement with motorsports and its championing of ceramic watch cases - it's a high-tech, sporty and maximalist brand. Or is it? IWC has a dual character; it's also a brand known for restrained, classical design and beautiful yet functional complications. This year, at Watches & Wonders, it's that more classical side to the Schaffhausen firm's character that's been allowed to shine, with IWC unveiling a new range of Portugiesers - including one with a calendar that theoretically only needs to be adjusted once every 45 million years. We're not kidding.
Andrew had the chance to meet with IWC CEO Christoph Grainger-Herr in Zürich ahead of Watches & Wonders to chat about Kurt Klaus and Günter Blümlein's enduring influence on the brand as well as about IWC's engineering DNA and how these new Portugiesers epitomise the brand's dual character. Let's dive in then, shall we?

Chris is one of the most passionate CEOs in the business. I had the pleasure of meeting him in person and he is such a humble gentleman, good luck IWC!
It would be refreshing if the interviewer let the IWC engineer speak without interruption.

I can't help but be impressed by the horology, the passion, and the product. For the third year in a row, IWC has brought something worth talking about. I'd gladly wear an engineer (however it's spelt) or a Portugueseer. Ideally, I'd own both!

2 years ago you showed the ceratanium iwc pilot’s chronograph with the ceratanium bracelet….but it never released with the ceratanium bracelet … why is that????
@imbaray

Because the bracelet costs as much as the watch without it. You can order it at IWC separately

Going by the watch head, I'm guessing there might be some question marks around durability when it comes to a bracelet. I'd have no fear buying the watch on strap though (probably will myself this year), or a pure ceramic model... but I wouldn't go near a bracelet given it's makeup.
Super exciting. They have GOT to pair down their offerings to consolidate the brand and stop diluting the used market
It seems a lot of brands have taken TAG Heuer's glass box design this year. So far I've seen it here on this IWC Portuegeser and the new JLC Duometre.

Amazing how the watch manufactuers keep pushing the boundery of what can be done.

The inbound bezel is like Tag Heuer... copy cats... no seriously incredible horoology.
Price for eternal calendar is what?😅
The price on the Gregorian Calendar makes it the best value for money watch in the world as it's only 859$ according to this video
USD 895 is it an error here?
Wish IWC made human sized watches as well as giant sized.
Plz don’t interrupt ppl when they r talking, that’s rude af.
10:33 WHAT Less than $200k that is actually a bargain

Andrew can be insufferable, constantly interrupting the person being interviewed. Sorry pal
Please stop jumping around and interrupting the technical explanations
The level of functionality of these watches are sooo over the top ridiculous. It's like the off-road capability engineered into a Land Rover which will never ever get used by 99% of users.

IWC PORTUGIESER ETERNAL CALENDAR COSTS $895 - TYPO! Haha 😂
All well and good, but can you guarantee you‘ll be able to service and make that day adjustment on my eternal camera in 45m years?
Awkward chemistry
Shut up and let him talk and Christ stop drink so much coffee or speed for gods sake
Looks naff
Wish they make 38 or 39mm.
