A Short Glance At Precious Swiss Timepieces
The IWC Portuguese Tourbillon has an 18K gold, red colored case complemented by a grey dial. The times within the dial are denoted with Arabic numerals along with a thin cabochon minute hand inside the shape of a fine leaf.
At the apex of the dial, a Cotes de Geneve area has the mysterious aperture, where the flying tourbillion apparently floats, completing a revolution about its axis every minute. A tiny seconds sub-dial is seen below the tourbillion, alongside its power reserve indicator that shows the present status with the seven-day energy reserve of the mainspring.
The watch utilizes IWC's 50900 caliber, incorporating a variety of complex functions
The back of the case is created of transparent sapphire crystal through which the elaborate mechanical construction of the IWC Portuguese Tourbillon can be viewed.
So that you can turn the rotor movements into the winding program, there is a Pellaton method that uses a exclusive cam method, in place with the conventional gear strategy. The central rotor has inscribed the familiar 'Probus Scafusia' slogan of IWC.
To allow unrestricted movement with the hairspring, the watch has a Breguet spring. The flying tourbillions is attached beneath the structure of the watch in order not to conceal the rest of the watch.
The strap of the IWC Portuguese Tourbillon is produced from alligator leather with a fine textural finish and has a wonderfully crafted folding clasp of 18K gold. The strap is 22mm wide and is secured towards the gold case which is 44.2 mm in diameter. The over-all thickness with the case is 14.2mm and though not heavy, the watch is solid and fine. The watch is water-resistant up to 30m or 99 feet depths.
Only 500 pieces with the red-gold and silver-plated dial model will be created. And only 250 pieces with the platinum model will be created.
The intricate design and exceptional craftsmanship of the IWC Portuguese Tourbillon are indeed fascinating.
