Hand-Wound Sophistication from IWC Schaffhausen

The Portuguese collection from Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen has long exemplified the brand’s engineering precision and have been worn by watch lovers round the globe for over 70 years. This month the brand showcased two elegant and stylish newcomers, the Portuguese Chronograph Classic and the Portuguese Tourbillon Hand-Wound. We’ve picked out the Hand-Wound for its versatile, unique mechanism and sharp design, combining contemporary nautical touches with futuristic mechanics. The minimalist case which comes in 18­carat white gold or 18­carat red gold will add a dose of understated sophistication to both smart and casual dress. A stand out feature of the design is the presence of the flying tourbillon at “9 o’clock” – an unmistakeable sign that this timepiece boasts the finest components. £44,000 IWC.COM
