IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Replica Watch

IWC chose the 75th anniversary of the Portugieser line in 2015 to introduce a model that takes its style cues directly from the original.It is without question that IWC is one of the most prestigious Replica Watches companies in the world. The brand’s identity is a balance between the heritage and style of traditional watchmaking and the technological innovations continually changing the industry. The IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound 8 Days draws upon history and technology in equal measure.

Throwback Thursday

The legacy of the IWC Replica Watches Portugieser model 325 runs through the “DNA” of the International Watch Co. That watch’s oversized case, housing an undisguised pocketwatch movement, served as the template for a number of models. Sitting atop the movement was a simple, elegant dial designed for easy legibility.75 years later the 5102 models revisit the notion of simple elegance, with 43-mm cases and dials boiled down to the absolute essentials for quick reading: Arabic numerals at 12, 3 and 9 o’clock and clear railroad graduations around the dial. Seconds sit at 6 o’clock as they did on the IWC Fake Watches original. Now a date window counts out the month in an aperture at the very bottom of the dial.

Eight Days a Week

Manually wound movements are a bit of a paradox. They are absolutely not modern. In fact they sit in opposition to modernity; there isn’t anything necessarily convenient about them, and the ‘tricks’ that Fake Watches make them work have been used for the past 100 or so years, without much variation. The paradox is that while they don’t fit the bill as cutting-edge in the modern era, they fit any true watch collector’s lifestyle perfectly. More so than any other type of modern-day movement, they force the owner into a relationship with the IWC Replica Watches because of the need for regular winding.The manufacture caliber 59215 movement needs to be wound, but it is by no means a needy movement. The 192-hour power reserve means that you can easily keep the 5102 in rotation with several other watches without concern for setting because the reserve has run flat. Speaking of reserve, the sapphire display on the rear of the Cheap IWC Portugieser Replica Watches has an eight-day readout to keep track of winding duties. And, speaking of setting, unlike the pocketwatch movements of yore, the 59215 will hack to allow for precise setting.

Unlimited Tradition, but Limited Editions

The Fake Watches Portugieser line celebrated its jubilee anniversary in 2015. While the line has now endured for 76 years, this celebration will not. The Hand Wound 8-days Portuguese models are quite limited in number: the stainless steel model is limited to 750 pieces worldwide and the rose gold version is restricted to 175 pieces. When they are gone, you will have to wait until the year 2040 for the line’s centennial editions. But don’t think of it as nearly a quarter of a century away; think of it as 1,142 winding cycles.

Limited-Edition IWC Portugieser Replica Annual Calendar

IWC marks its fourth year as “Official Festival Time Partner” of the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival in 2016. As in all three previous years of the partnership, the Schaffhausen-based watch brand is releasing a limited-edition watch as a tribute to the Tribeca Film Institute.

The IWC Portugieser Annual Calendar Edition “Tribeca Film Festival,” like its blue-dialed, unlimited-series predecessor, displays the month, date, and day, in that order, in three semi-circular windows at 12 o’clock. This “American-style” date indication, which uses three individual disks, is an homage to Replica Watches American-born founder, Florentine Ariosto Jones. The watch’s seven-day (168-hour) power reserve, which is stored in twin barrels, is displayed on a subdial at 3 o’clock. The small seconds subdial is positioned at 9 o’clock. As in all annual calendar IWC Replica Watches, the date will need correction once a year, at the end of February; fortunately, all corrections can be carried out easily and conveniently, via the single winding crown.

This version of the IWC Fake Watches, which is limited to just 50 pieces and sold exclusively in IWC boutiques in the United States, has a striking, slate-colored dial, a hue chosen to represent the streets of New York, host city of the festival and home of its founder, Oscar winning actor Robert De Niro, while the Bordeaux-colored small seconds and power-reserve subdials evoke the red carpets of the film industry’s glamorous awards shows and premieres.The watch’s sapphire caseback allows an unimpeded view of the automatic movement, which displays some of the modifications that Cheap IWC Portugieser Replica has made to its 5200 family of calibers, including slimmer rotors and more open bridges inset with a solid gold “Probus Scafusia” medallion. IWC’s Pellaton winding system has also been improved, with practically wear-free components made of black and white ceramic. The rotor on this watch has been specialized, bearing the logo of the Tribeca Film Festival, and the caseback includes a milled number “xx/50” to indicate the watch’s extreme rarity.“It makes sense for IWC Fake Watches to partner with an American film festival since we were founded by an American,” IWC Chief Marketing Officer (and host of the gala event) Franziska Gsell told WatchTime. “And the reason we partner with many film festivals around the globe is because we see a parallel between the dedication and passion that goes into manufacturing watches and into producing movies. Our brand is about storytelling. Like a film, we see each IWC Replica Watches as telling a story.”

Longtime fans of the IWC brand will appreciate that the watch’s design very closely resembles the original IWC Portugieser model from 1939. Its case is 44.2 mm in diameter, with a grooved bezel. The dial is surrounded by a railroad-track chapter ring, and has the same thin feuille hands and Arabic numerals as did its historical predecessor.

IWC Mark XVIII Replica Watches

The Mark series, as we previously noted while covering the Mark XVII earlier last year, is a collection rooted in the style of B-Uhr pilots’ watches, and also influenced by the classic military-style watches known by the moniker “Dirty Dozen.”

It was not until 1993, with Replica Watches release of the Mark XII, that the modern Mark series was born. Today, we see the latest iteration of the Mark series in the XVIII.

On the dial, you’ll again notice how this was carried out, with large Arabic numerals, a visible minute ring, a plain date window at the 3 o’clock mark, and the hallmark of any classical pilots’ watch, the triangle with two dots at the 12 o’clock position. Other features to notice are the large hour and minute hands that decisively indicate the time, an IWC Replica Watches soft-iron inner case to protect the movement from magnetic fields, and the option for either a black or white dial, and for a leather strap or metal bracelet.

With the vintage models, the purpose for utilitarian durability and readability is clearly seen in the steel case and contrasting black and white dial. But outside of the inspiration for the design, the vintage and modern pieces look almost completely different: the cases are thicker and larger in the modern watch and have contemporary finishing; the modern dial features are all larger and more visible; and the movement is an ETA-based automatic workhorse rather than the manually wound IWC Caliber 83 found in many vintage watches developed by the brand.
More similarities can be found, however, when comparing the IWC Fake Watches Mark XVIII to earlier pieces in the Mark series since the 1990 re-release. Throughout the life of the modern Mark series, the general case shape has remained the same, as have the dial features. These include the placement of the triangle at the 12 o’clock position slightly below the minute ring, the use of Arabic numerals all the way around the dial, the sword-shaped hands, and the basic date window at the 3 o’clock mark.

The modern IWC Mark XVIII is certainly an interesting new edition to the historical lineage of the Mark series, as well as to the larger historical IWC Pilot’s Watch collection.Overall, it adds another element to the increasingly growing IWC Pilot’s Watch collection, and offers a solid model both for first-time consumers entering the world of IWC watches, and for longtime collectors hunting for an everyday-wear watch with a solid backstory.
