The origins of the Portugieser can be traced back to the 1930s, where IWC Schaffhausen transformed an accurate pocket watch movement into a large wristwatch with chronometer precision. Featuring a 42mm stainless steel case, this version of the Portugieser Automatic was first introduced in 2000 and boasts a balanced open dial with a power reserve indicator at 3 o'clock and a small seconds display at 9 o'clock. The silver-plated dial, blue hands, and appliqués add an elegant touch to the watch. Its redesigned case construction, with a thinner casing ring and box-glass sapphire crystals on both sides, exudes sophistication. The dial itself is a work of art, made through a meticulous process of applying 15 layers of transparent lacquer and mounting the appliqués by hand. The Portugieser Automatic 42 runs on the IWC-manufactured 52011 calibre, which is beautifully finished with circular graining and Geneva


About IWC Schaffhausen

Founded in 1868 by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, IWC Schaffhausen was born from a visionary dream to combine advanced American manufacturing techniques with world-renowned Swiss craftsmanship. Located in north-eastern Switzerland on the banks of the River Rhine, the manufacture is defined by its motto, "Probus Scafusia"—meaning "good, solid craftsmanship from Schaffhausen." IWC is a global leader in professional pilot’s watches and is equally celebrated for the nautical elegance of the Portugieser collection. A pioneer in high-tech materials, the brand was the first to introduce titanium and ceramic into watchmaking, a tradition that continues today with their proprietary Ceratanium®. From the anti-magnetic Ingenieur to the adventure-ready Aquatimer, IWC timepieces follow a "form follows function" philosophy, blending sophisticated horological complications with a robust, utilitarian aesthetic. At IJL, we are proud to offer this storied brand, where technical mastery meets timeless design for those who value precision-engineered luxury.
