A visit of the IWC boutique Piazza di Spagna in Rome
As you know, one side of the IWC strategy is based on the development of its own distribution network. In this context, the opening of the IWC boutique in Rome during the first quarter of the year was not a big surprise. This boutique also symbolizes the ambition of the brand in Italy since it is the first boutique in the country. I would have expected to see it in the economic capital of Italy, in Milan, but Rome has also strong assets being a much more touristic city than Milan. The surprise for me was more the location of the boutique. Piazza di Spagna, 28! Can you imagine it? It is located on one of the most prestigious and known areas in the world. I can guess that IWC had waited for the right opportunity to find the perfect location and Piazza di Spagna choice became obvious. Piazza di Spagna is not only a famous square: a lot of movies were shot there, it inspired writers, poets... and well, in a more mundane point of view, it is a crowded area anytime, any hour of the day which is very positive for the turnover of the boutique.
If the boutique has started to operate in March, it was inaugurated the 28th of June with the presence of George Kern. 28 is a key number for the boutique as you can see and it is the reason why the LE of the Portofino Chronograph gathers 28 pieces.
Since I was in Rome in August, I couldn't miss the chance to visit this new boutique and of course to browse the current IWC collection!
So let's discover together this new boutique!
It is located 28 Piazza di Spagna just on the right side of the Spanish Steps:
And of course not very far from the Fontana della Barcaccia:
Do you see the boutique on the right when you are at the Fountain?
Let's enter the boutique now!
It is a small boutique but with a very well-organized lay-out.
Actually, each area has a specifc purpose. The displays at the entrance highlight specific pieces while the various shelves are dedicated to the collections.
The boutique is decorated following the latest IWC architectural principles. Even if the size of the boutique is small, I felt the same atmosphere than in a larger boutique (like Paris) what is a very positive feeling.
The selling table is located at the back of the boutique:
One collection per column of shelves:
And outside the boutique, the crowded Piazza di Spagna...
The Ingenieur collection shelves:
This display is used to put a focus on specific timepieces:
Let's have a closer look to the watches now!
This is the Portofino Chronograph released in a LE of 28 pieces to celebrate the opening of the boutique.
As you know the Portofino collection was redesigned to make this collection more credible in the IWC catalogue and the designers did a great job.
The Portofino Chronograph is a quite large watch (42mm) with nice pushers inspired by watches from the past. I like the hands shape and the two subdials.
I'm less convinced by the two roman figures which are almost totally eaten by the subdials. The small permanent second hand subdial may unbalance the dial but at the end I didn't have this feeling:
The solid caseback features an engraving with the Spanish Steps and the Barcaccia on the foreground:
The watch is powered by the 75320 movement which is a Valjoux 7750 caliber.
Despite its large size, I could appreciate the elegance of the watch on the wrist:
Of course, the Portofino Chronograph has its own diplay! Look at its decorations... we are clearly talking about a Roman watch!
The Portuguese Chronograph Classic is a very important watch for IWC since it is the new chronograph in the Portuguese collection and this time, with the in-house 89361 movement. As you know, the traditional Portuguese Automatic Chronograph is powered by a Valjoux 7750 base and it stays in the collection for the time being. The two watches are not in the same price range.
This new watch takes advantage of the features of the Yacht Chronograph but in a less sportive context.
Case diameter is 42mm:
Thanks to the use of the 89361 movement, the Portuguese Chronograph Classic features a date window, a larger power reserve (68 hours), a flyback chronograph and a hours and minutes counter at 12 o'clock:
The finishings of the 89361 movements are quite austere and I would have appreciated more refined details. On the other hand, it has a nice lay-out with a "technical feeling":
I was quite seduced by this watch which is very different from the Portuguese Automatic Chronograph. I will come back to it later.
We enter another collection with Pilot Chronograph Top Gun.
As you can see it with the dial colors, this watch is the Boutique edition (LE of 500 pieces).
This watch is my fav of the trio of the Boutique editions dedicated to the Pilot watches. I like the complication and the blue and black atmosphere.
The ceramic/titanium case diameter is 46mm:
The solid caseback is logical due to the presence of the soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields.
The 89365 movement belongs to the family of the in-house chronograph calibers with flyback function. It has a 68 hours power reserve.
A powerful design and a surprisingly comfortable watch on the wrist:
I'm less convinced by the Big Pilot Top Gun Boutique edition. I don't like green on watches and I think that the color mix works less than with the chronograph.
The ceramic/titanium case still has the same 46mm diameter.
The watch is powered by in-house movement 51111 known for its 7-days power reserve:
The same comments can be made on this watch than with the chronograph. Despite its size, it is rather comfortable on the wrist thanks to an efficient strap system and a good positioning on the wrist. But I'm absolutely not seduced by this black&green mix...
As you know, 2013 was an Ingenieur year! So I ask to the staff of the boutique to show me several good representatives of the collection.
I couldn't miss the Ingenieur Automatic since it is a very important watch for IWC being the more affordable of the collection with the purest design:
The Ingenieur Automatic features a 40mm case which included a protection against magnetic fields.
From my point of view, this watch has several assets:
- the beauty of its dial
- the bracelet design
- its comfort
I like the Ingenieur indexes:
The nicely designed bracelet:
The watch is powered by an ETA2892-A2 obviously hidden by the solid caseback.
On the wrist:
Back to the use of an in-house movement with the Ingenieur Chronograph Racer:
I appreciate the little touches of blue and the very neat design of the dial. The pushers are also well integrated into the overall design:
The case diameter is 45mm. Thanks to the use of the 89361 movement, the watch features a flyback chronograph and 68 hours of power reserve. Even it is a rather thick case (14,5mm), it is a chronograph I like in this "sportive" and all-around (water resistant to 120m) context.
To be frank with you, the Ingenieur Double Chronograph Titanium is not my cup of tea despite the use of a titanium case.
The way the rubber details are inserted is nicely made but I don't know... I found this watch less appealing. Maybe it is due to the presence of the double window date + day on the dial which is for me a bit useless in this very casual context.
The pusher on the left gives the right clue to guess what is the additional complication and the reason behind the name of the watch. It is a split-second hand chronograph powered by a Valjoux 7750 base (like the Portuguese Split-Second). The case has a 45mm diameter and a 16mm thickness.
The Portuguese Tourbillon Mystère Rétrograde allows us to take advantage of the IWC flying Tourbillon. The watch, sold in a LE of 500 pieces in PG and of 250 pieces in Platinum offers an unusual date display on the dial with a retrograde hand:
I love the dial lay-out, the applied figures and the contrast between the big date display and the small power reserve one.
About the Tourbillon itself, I have mixed emotions. I don't find it so beautiful even if it gives an enjoyable view when it moves. The incabloc is too visible for my taste.
A gorgeous dial:
The caliber 51900 has a Pellaton automatic winding. Even if the case has a 44mm diameter, it fills the full space available what is very nice for the eyes... I find its finishings a bit too sober, especially with a Tourbillon watch but as usual with IWC, the interest of the movement comes from its architecture. Seeing this large automatic movement is pure pleasure.
A great watch on the wrist:
I would like to finish the report with this stunning WG Portuguese Perpetual Calendar with blue dial.
Even if the complication doesn't speak to me, I think that this watch is amongst my top 3 IWC timepieces: the dial, the 51613 movement, its main color... each detail makes it very attractive!
Do you notice the Northern and Southern hemisphere Moon Phases display?
The comments I did about the Portuguese Tourbillon Mystère Rétrograde are still valid here: the movement fills the full case.
With a case diameter of 44mm and a thickness of 15,5mm, this watch has an unusual size for a PC watch. But who cares at the end when such size is coherent with the dial and the movement?
In addition of being automatic, the 51613 movement offers 7 days of power reserve. A very interesting feature in the context of the PC complication.
It was here a love at first glance... what a beauty!
But sadly it was time to leave the boutique... customers were knocking at the door!
I hope that you had the same pleasure to browse this report than I had to visit the boutique and write the report. Thanks to the boutique staff, I could have a quite comprehensive overview of the current IWC catalogue, from the Portofino to the Portuguese collections without forgetting the Ingenieur and the Pilot ones.
I wish the best for the boutique and its staff. Of course I would like to thank them a lot for the warm welcome and the time they dedicated to me. I enjoyed this appointment.

IWC Roma: What a poetic location
FrX,
Finally, the report that we discussed! Thank you.
IWC is not only at a good location being on the edge of the luxury shopping area of Rome but also next door to the Keats-Shelley Memorial House.
The bane of my early school life was having a mathematics teacher who was more interested in poetry than quadratic equations. I could recite:
"Tyger, Tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"
.........better than the mathematical Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2.
The museum curates a most extensive collection of manuscripts, letters, memorabilia, and paintings relating to the Romantic poets -- John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley, as well as Byron, Wordsworth, Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Oscar Wilde, and others.
Strangely, it is the current Mrs MTF who collected big IWC watches in our family (so much for engineering by men for men!). I had to quickly buy a IWC DaVinci to wear when invited to a Dinner with Ronan Keating.
At SIHH 2013, I liked a few models shown below.
The INGENIEUR Automatic 40 mm you showed is perhaps the most important of the collection because it is the base model that will sell in huge numbers. The 40mm size is absolutely crucial to its success since the big watch trend is stalled or reversing with many brands.
Regards, MTF
INGENIEUR Chronograph Silberpfeil
I like this bronze dial version as it is in keeping with the vintage strap.
My 2013 Star of the Show:
INGENIEUR Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month
INGENIEUR Dual Time Titanium seems useful for the frequent traveller

Thanks Melvyn for your comments!
About the SIHH collection, I have to confess that I have some troubles with the complicated Ingenieurs. The PC Digital is clearly a no-go for me. But on the other hand, I appreciate the Automatic and the Dual Time. And the new Portuguese Automatic is a good surprise for me.
Thanks!

Thanks!

Armchair shopping experience
Thanks as always. Your boutique visits are some of my favourite posts. They take me to places far away, and distant in my memory. An excellent armchair shopping experience.
I must say, I do like the boutique edition Portofino Chronograph. One of a huge number of reasons to visit Rome soon.
Next year apparently is the Year of the Aquatimer. Could be interesting.....
Dean
Thanks Dean for your nice words!
And of course if you come to Rome, don't hesitate to post your pics here, I would love to see them and I'm always happy to see pictures of this fantastic city.

A pleasure always...
My next visit to Rome I go to enjoy these beautiful watches.-
All the best
Juan
Dear Juan... maybe you will have an other boutique to visit...
A little bird told me that JLC would open its boutique on the same area at the end of the year. I know where...

Okay my friend I will wait for the song of a little bird...
JLC is another beloved brands!!!

My reflections
As always, a pleasant article and beautiful, very bright pictures from F.X. Thank you!
IWC is one of my dearest brand, mostly because I closely follow it from the very beginning of my passion for watches; to be more precise, those were the years of the mithical Da Vinci automatic chronograph with perpetual calendar. In recent years, being a PuristSPro fellow, I learned to appreciate their boutiques, as discussion topic of a lot of articles and reports: for me they are the most beautiful, in the world of horology.
That being said, you can imagine how I was impatient to visit the first boutique opened in my country. When, in May, I was in Rome, I went directly to Piazza di Spagna 28, to see the shop in the flesh. Unfortunately, I was late for another appointment, so I could only give a quick glimpse to the shop windows. My impressions were mixed: the position of the boutique is absolutely incredible, just a few steps from the scalinata, but it is too small and nobody of the tourists seem to take care of it. With a bit of disappointment, I said to myself: "it's true, my poor beloved Country is really at the boundaries of the contemporary economic world". Then, I looked at the showcase: there were some watches and the Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month caught my attention, since in person it is far more beautiful than in pictures; moreover, the man of the boutique that arranged the price display had made a mistake and this very important piece had a price tag of less than six thousands euro!!! If this timepiece had positively impressed me, the rest of the watches on display left me a bit cold: I've sometimes criticized the brands that propose a lot of "new-vintage" timepieces, especially when they look simply "old", but with IWC I can't understand the sense of most of the latest launched products, I can't see a true IWC personality, and in general they seem to over-designed. With this last statement I want to say that a product claiming to be "Engineered for men" must have an overall coherence and must look plain and understated, without any frills and any bling. Do the current IWC collection - you have skillfully introduced in your article from Rome - respect this golden rule? I'm sorry, I would sadly say no.
What do you think?
Ciao,
Elio
I was on to trying to put my thoughts in words, and you did it better than I could do.
Totally agree with your last 4 lines, Ellio.
Very well put.
Best,
Nicolas.
Thanks for your comments Elio.
About the size of the boutique: I think it is the right one. I will not explain you the price of the square meter in this area. So if you wish to get an acceptable profitability, you don't have to increase your fixed costs. If not, you have to reach a very high sales volume. And I do believe, as you pointed it out that increasing the size will not increase the number of visitors. I'm sure that they carefully chose this size. Having said that, I found the boutique lay-out nicely designed.
About the IWC collection, I tend to disagree. We always analyse the whole collection with our own perspective but we don't have to forget that a collection targets different markets and types of customers and not a single one. When we look at it, we find some nicely made and sober watches like the Ingenieur Automatic and even the new Portuguese Automatic. Some other watches are bulky with a more daring design. They are far from my expectations and I can't imagine to buy them.
You know, it is always the same with universal players like IWC: the collection is a gathering of everything to be sure to find customers somewhere for any watch. So the question for me is not to be happy with the whole collection but to find at least a watch I like. And it is the case for me with the Ingenieur Automatic. And at the same time, some Ingenieur or Pilot watches are far from being my cup of tea.
Thanks for your detailed comments.

I get your points...
I get your points, François. Thank you for having added something interesting to the discussion.
About the boutique size: at the end, it's the location atmosphere and how you're welcomed that counts. Have you ever visited, for example, the microscopic JLC boutique in Via Montenapoleone, Milan? I think it's less than 25 sq.m., but it looks very nice.
About the IWC collection: I think that when a brand want to rapidly become "global" has only two main way, to become a bit "popular" or to work directly to very top of the market. If this [self-sufficient] theory of mine was right, I would put IWC in the first league, with the added charme of an old lady, ready to be put even on a "wrong wrist" just to show excellent figures. Moreover, I think IWC has one of the most powerful and consistent marketing department in the industry. That said, I want to confirm I like more than one piece in the current collection. Let's see how this prestigious Manufacture will evolve in the future, maybe they deserve more independence inside the Richemont Group???
Ciao,
Elio
I fully agree...
IWC is losing the essence of what made it successful. Especially the Fliegeruhr/pilot line is becoming more and more a joke. This line has become the caricature of a real tool watch.... Sad but I think it sells even better than before ...
It is obvious that...
these colored versions are far from what we can expect in this line.
I agree with you about this remark.
Fx
I agree with you about this remark.

What a wonderful visit ...
Besides of the watches (the simple Inge is very attractive), I like the architectural style that IWC is using on all boutiques.
Even here, yes we also have a boutique is SP/Brazil, the style is the same. Very cool.
I'm avoiding a visit to the boutique here because I know that is very hard to impossible to leave without a watch.
The only point that IWC needs to enhance are the size of the new line. Way to big to me.
Cheers,
Nilo

Thanks Nilo for your comments
I'm sure that the Sao Paulo boutique is much larger than the Rome one... about the watches yes you are right so if large diameters don't speak to you, it will be a problem here. The 40mm Ingenieur is maybe now the smallest IWC watch with the Portofino Automatic. And you have to consider that they can't house any IWC movements which are big. Some brands produce small movements, others big ones!
Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your input.

The boutique in Sāo Paulo ...
Based on your pics, is not bigger than the one in Rome.
The good news is that the sales persons knows A LOT about the brand and, better, they are great to negotiate prices, that are on pair with the international ones (rare here).

Ahh one of my favorite locales and favorite brands!
Great photos of these beauties and a nice day in Rome in looked as well.
Hi,great chance to see the boutiqe and the collection from your eyes.
By the way i liked the big ingeniuer with blue touches and the wg perpetual portuguese blue dialed.
Regards...
Thanks for your comments.
For me, my fav Ingenieur remains the most simple one... and yes, the WG Portuguese with blue dial is stunning. What a gorgeous watch!
