IWC is the king of understatement and as the saying goes “for those who know, know”. They are one of the most renowned watches in the world. Since 1868, the Swiss watch manufacture has been creating masterpieces of haute horlogerie that combine precision engineering with timeless design.
The IWC Portofino Automatic Watch is no different, both timeless in design and a true gentleman’s watch. It features a silver plated dial housed within a 40mm 18 ct gold case and includes a discreet date display at 3 o’clock with rose gold applied index markers and hand. Typical of the Swiss, each part has been put together with the most upmost perfection. The movement is an automatic one with a 42 hour power reserve. The face is antireflective scratch resistant sapphire crystal. All this is finished with a dark brown alligator leather strap with a pin and buckle. £8,000 thewatchgallery.co.uk
