IWC Portuguese Repeater Photomontage  1 Comments


 



Some months ago I photographed this wonderful timepiece in my local favourite Authorised Dealer. A very rare and expensive timepiece that wonderfully chimes on demand. Repeaters are a rarity still and good quality pieces are even rarer finds. Oddly enough, though Repeaters are infamously expensive, rarely do they stay in the store for long here in Singapore as there is a growing following for extreme complications here.
I really like the Portuguese line of watches and this is no exeception. I am especially taken by the austere simple dial that belies the complexity inside. I would however much prefered the cursive lettering of old for this piece. The serif font works well but not as much as the original flowing cursive lettering.
Nevertheless, as ever, I hope you will enjoy these photographs. Click below to view the images.
