IWC is adding 9 new 37mm models to its 2022 Portofino collection: 3 Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37 and 6 Portofino Automatic 37. Prices from €6,400
IWC is adding nine new 37 mm models to its Portofino collection, a line basing its appeal on a minimalist design and discreet elegance with refined dials characterised by hours and minutes feuille hands, baton indices and XII and VI hour markers.
The Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37 is available in three versions, while the classic Portofino Automatic 37 is presented in six new versions.
For the models featuring diamond-set bezels, the shape of the case has been optimised to accommodate larger stones of 1.7 millimetres. The dial and the case of these references are decorated with 72 diamonds totalling 1.12 carats. In addition, because of an improved setting, the diamonds reflect the light better and have a more visible presence and added brilliance.
As a first in the luxury watch industry, IWC is matching some of these models to soft straps made of fully traceable Swiss calf leather. Each strap comes with a unique code that can be used to trace the source of the material online. Other references feature a newly developed 5-link metal bracelet with polished and satin-finished surfaces. All models feature a quick-change system, making it possible to change the strap or bracelet using a small tool supplied with every timepiece.
All the new models are powered by IWC-manufactured movements from the 32000 calibre family, featuring an automatic pawl winding system and a power reserve of 5 days. Beautifully finished with blued screws and gold-plated rotors, these movements can be admired through sapphire glass case backs.
For the Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37, IWC has integrated a moon phase module featuring a special reduction wheel train that makes the display deviate from the actual orbit of Earth’s satellite by only one day after 122 years. Positioned at 12 o’clock, the moon phase disc is made of solid gold and pad-printed with a blue night sky. The display can be adjusted easily in daily intervals using the crown.
