IWC (II): PORTUGUESE



IWC Portuguese history

The Portuguese watch commemorates to those navigators discoverers of new continents. In the Thirties of century XX two Portuguese retailers, Rodriguez and Texeira, obtained that IWC made the first IWC Portuguese wristwatch creating the flattest mechanism until then with caliber 74. In 1993 a limited special series made, to which later followed the Chrono-ratrapante Portuguese, the Portuguese Repetition of minutes, the Chrono-automatic Portuguese and the Portuguese Automatic 2000 with automatic device of IWC calibrates 5000. Caliber 5000 is impressive with 286 mechanical pieces in 37 groups and 44 rubies.



IWC Portuguese Chrono-Automatic

Without any doubt, my favorite is the Portuguese who appears in the photo the one in steel Chrono-Automatic Portuguese. It has a mechanism of mechanical cronógraph with automatic cord, a small secundero with shutdown device, crystal of convex sapphire and is impermeable up to 30 meters. And a diameter of 40,9mm, really a great watch.

IWC: THE PILOT WATCH



It does already more than 130 years, Florentine Ariosto Jones founded the International company watch company on Switzerland but the qualified personnel of Geneva was there distrustful and he was against its plans and then he went to Schaffhausen next to Johann Heinrich Moser who made pocket clocks in this locality.

IWC Mark history

The first link of the aviator clocks was the IWC Mark IX who dates from year 1936 and counted on a mechanism of manual cord caliber 83. In 1945 it was created the Mark X whom the “Broad Arrow” takes to engraving in its box and the letters w.w.w abbreviation of watch wrist waterproof. Also in the Forties, the Great watch of aviator with a box of 55mm of diameter and equipped with a mechanism of watch of modified pocket of IWC
made caliber 52s.c. The following one of the saga was made Mark XI between 1948 and 1984, being its main buyers the Royal Air British Force and air lines worldwide. It counted on a mechanism of manual cord caliber 89.



In 1988 it left to the market the chronograph aviator who appears in the photo and that I have the luck to have. Of 1992 it is the Double chronograph and already in 1993 IWC Mark XII, updated version of the Mark XI and who later would be replaced by IWC Mark XV. In 1998 the flying watch UTC makes, that is characterized by a window in which the universal time continues working parallelly the own hour of the watch. In 2002 the Great watch of aviator with caliber 5011 is already created, reinterpretación of the created one in the Forties with a box of 46,2mm. Finally it is necessary to mention recently been born IWC Mark XVI in two sizes.
