Your favorite IWC Portuguese?
I am curious to read which one is your favorite Portuguese, this iconic watch from IWC. All through these years, I cold see some of them, and here is my selection. My preference? The 5441 aka Jubilée, in steel, from 1993. The Minute Repeater is a close pr...
I had the 7 day, red gold, loved it, but too bulky in the end.
Now if they did a 7 day ultra thin, maybe 39MM. hmm..
Very sweet. This watch is a dream.
I love the old Logo which looks very romantic. Is this beautiful MR yours? Best Thomas
For me, the Portuguese is an iconic line
Regardless of the direction IWC has taken, this line always oozes quality for me. They feel as though they are designed more for watch aficianodos rather than the general public. And which is the way the brand was until, say, post financial crisis. My fir...
Of course I love the 5441 (witness my "horological meandering" the other day LOL)
and the main thought I have about it is that it looks like the "quintessential" wristwatch, where quintessential is defined as: what would be pictured in the dictionary under the word "wristwatch". Thinking about it that way, it would have to be a time-on...
I was going to say the same thing
The small Portuguese 3531 in rose gold. Otherwise, yes, the MR would also have my preference.
This... is the most beautiful Portuguese I have ever seen
It would be so easy to make a replica... one can always dream
Thanks. what a coincidence. IWC did one in 2015 but too thick and with date
There is a great article
another common watch between us too, which is more than good but
not as good as 5441 though ...
I had two of those...
And both spent more time in Schaffhausen than on my wrist. IWC's Calibre 5XXX has not been good to me.
This is not a shabby one, no?
What do you think? 5441 jubilee for Pisa - 25 Pieces or so
The 5441 was a grail watch for me when it came out...
It took me 10 years to finally get it. A big promotion, a big Birthday and a successful year all added up to this: Later that year I was wearing it when I met my future wife for the first time, then when we were married and for most major life occasions e...
