Portugieser Boutique Edition
IWC introduces selected models with overarching design cues in the maritime-inspired colours blue and gold, that are available exclusively in IWC Boutiques and online at IWC.com.

Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Boutique Edition
The Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon unites two sophisticated Haute Horlogerie complications. The tourbillon, made of 82 individual parts, weighs only 0.635 grams. The “whirlwind” causes the balance wheel to rotate around its own axis, compensating for the effect of gravity on the oscillating system and increasing accuracy. Requiring no correction until 2100, the perpetual calendar automatically recognizes the different lengths of the months and leap years. This timepiece has a diameter of 45 millimetres.
Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph Boutique Edition
The Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph features a flying hacking minute tourbillon at “6 o’clock”. This model has a diameter of 43.5 millimetres. Additionally, it is equipped with a retrograde date display and a chronograph with flyback function. The blue dial, the gold-plated hands and appliqués in 18-carat gold further underscore the maritime character of this exclusive timepiece.
