Gathering of vintage and modern IWC Portugueses Report  0 Comments

Published Wednesday, February 11, 2009 by Harry SK Tan |

 


Click the image on the right to read the brief report I put up on the horomundi forum. Apart from the group shot of all the wrist watches present, there are photos of Dirk Jansen's wonderful IWC pocket watches and Eddie Sng's collection of watch movement cuff links.
Come back soon as I shall be posting high resolution group shots of a set of the Portuguese Jubilees as well as another set of its little brother, the Portuguese Automatics (36mm).

Postscript - Forgot to mention earlier that the photo on the right was taken to show collectors that the original first generation Portuguese watches (and the Jubilee) were in fact watches with pocket watch movements. IWC kept to its roots and history when they launched the 1993 Jubilee. So IWC had sold these watches back in the mid 1900s - at a time when it was unfashionable to wear big watches.
