About the IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Pure Classic Watch
IWC offers the Portofino Hand-Wound Pure Classic in two metals – 18 carat red gold (ref. IW511101) and stainless steel (ref. IW511102). The case is polished, and has a thin bezel and even thinner lugs. The feuille-design of the hands is slightly more rounded than usual (and, therefore, perhaps more “refined”). Applied batons and sans-serif numerals are aimed at pleasing purists, and do a good job of complementing the ever-so-slightly off-white, silver-plated dial.
Finally, the printed minute markers along the perimeter seem to add a
touch of functional grace – especially given the lack of a second hand.
Most purists may have a problem with the 43.5 mm diameter of this
Classic-themed watch, but its front glass has an arched edge, which we
hope will make the model look/wear smaller than its spec sheet.
Around the back, an expansive sapphire crystal reveals IWC’s caliber
59060. This manually wound manufacture caliber has an impressive 192
hours (8 days) of power reserve. And speaking of power reserve, the
indicator is located on the back at about 4 o’clock. To focus on
robustness, the movement is hidden almost in its entirety by two large
bridges, leaving only the balance unconcealed. The upper bridge bears
the barrel, winder and differential, and the lower bears the power
reserve indicator and hides the train-wheel bridge. Without a doubt,
there’s solid chamfering, Geneva Stripes are applied throughout, and
perlage is found below.
The gold and stainless steel versions are offered on brown and
black-leather straps with orange inner-lining that are made by the
distinguished Italian shoemaker Santoni. The IWC Portofino Hand-Wound
Pure Classic is an aesthetic, but nevertheless robust addition to IWC’s
dressy lineup. The US pricing is $10,400 in stainless steel, and $19,900
in 18k red gold.Reviews about the IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Pure Classic replica watch
