Simply Abu Dhabi XXIX

2 1 6 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I S IHH 2018 was a momentous year for the IWC Schaffhausen. The prestigious Swiss watchmaker marked its 150th anniversary and launched a spectacular collection of watches to mark the historical milestone with the Jubilee Collection, comprising 27 limited-edition watches from different watch families such as Portofino, Pilot’s Watches and Da Vinci. As part of the spoils, IWC unveiled five limited-edition Portugieser wristwatches. The Portugieser Constant- Force Tourbillon Edition “150 Years” is one of the most technically sophisticated watches in the collection and combines a constant-force tourbillon with a simple moon-phase display for the very first time. The Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Edition “150 Years” brings a perpetual calendar together with a tourbillon on the dial for the first time ever. IWC is also launching a Portugieser with a perpetual calendar in the design of the Jubilee collection and fitting the Portugieser Chronograph with an IWC-manufactured calibre. An anniversary edition of the Portugieser Hand-Wound is also being launched for fans of hand-wound watches. The five new limited-edition Portugieser watches underscores IWC’s Haute Horlogerie expertise in its anniversary year. All timepieces feature the design of the Jubilee collection with the distinguishing dials produced using a complex lacquering process in white or blue.
