The Portofino collection like the Pilot collection is archetypical of IWC watches, albeit carrying enough old age charisma that it can single handedly make you feel like you own a yatch.
This particular piece from the Portofino collection p resents a different bit of class when compared to the others in the collection. With its elegant black dial and perfect black alligator leather strap, it quietly merges the quintessential Portofino essence with a dress watch persona.
Its polished stainless steel case, silver-toned hands and hour indices make for a stunning visual deceptively contrasting all the black surrounding it.
Everything you could ever ask from something that looks so timeless. Just like the picturesque fishing village in Italy of the same name, this piece like other Portofinos of the same collection, is an epitome of quality, good taste and exquisiteness.
With three hands and a black dial, it needs no more. Unlik e the older Portofinos, this one comes in a larger more in vogue 40 mm diameter. The shapely rounded sides make it look even slimmer, with the stainless steel case housing the calibre. The date display adds a nouveau touch to the whole display, with the red 60 minute mark above the Roman 12 hour index marker adding uniqueness to the series.
Class hasn't been more defined. For any group, there will always be one object or person that stands out, that defines the group in a way unlike the others. The Portofino collection breathes old age charm, this particular piece does the same but it carries a little e xtra flair.
It looks and moves like all the other pieces, it even has the same red-gold case and dark brown alligator leather strap as the What makes it so special is its ardoise coloured dial. It forms a perfect foil to the red-gold case, gold-toned indices and the dark brown strap, bridging the two extremes in a way, only a slate grey background could. The red 60 minute mark and the date display standing out ever so slightly. If there was ever a watch you could imagine a stylish gondolier wearing while rowing his gondola through the Venetian streets, it would be this one.
This watch from the Portofino collection is akin to actually being at Portofino, a small It alian fishing village from which its name is derived. The timepiece used the Beta 21 calibre, a Swiss-made Quartz movement that was the result of a collaboration between 21 Swiss horologists.
Over the years, the watch received various modifications, but the present design only showed up in It was a time when tool watches were on the rise and highly in-demand. The watches were especially popular for the soft iron inner core that prevented effects of electro-magnetic waves. But the Ingenieur we know about is the one that was launched in It was designed by the legendary watch designer Gerald Genta.
One of the most prominent ones being that it is what made IWC a household name when it came to tool watches. The first one to ever be made was the B-Uhr, a massive aviation watch that was built for the German Air Force. The watches are classic, aesthetic, and are abundant in style.
The first watch was launched in after years of demand for a timeless timepiece. IWC aimed at achieving effortless elegance with the Portofino and that is exactly what it did with the watch. The entire collection is today a magnificent example of grandeur, workmanship, and pure horological excellence. It was created in with the launch of the Ref. Unlike today, the options for movements were limited and rather scarce.
This marked the beginning of the journey of one of the greatest watches ever made. Today, the timepiece is a symbol of excellence and finesse in Haute Horlogerie.
