For IWC, this is the year of the Portugieser. At Watches & Wonders 2024, the brand unveiled a bevy of iterations, from an eternal calendar to a perpetual calendar, but my among my personal favorites was the classic chrono rendered in three absolutely stunning new colorways. Achieving the handsome new hues—Horizon Blue, Obsidian, and Dune—required some serious research and development. The manpower was well worth it. These are sure to become timeless additions to IWC’s catalog.
