IWC Portugieser Collection goes BIG with 45m year moonphase

- These days, IWC is known for its pilot's watches, involvement with motorsports and its championing of ceramic watch cases - it's a high-tech, sporty and maximalist brand. Or is it? IWC has a dual character; it's also a brand known for restrained, classical design and beautiful yet functional complications. This year, at Watches & Wonders, it's that more classical side to the Schaffhausen firm's character that's been allowed to shine, with IWC unveiling a new range of Portugiesers - including one with a calendar that theoretically only needs to be adjusted once every 45 million years. We're not kidding.
Andrew had the chance to meet with IWC CEO Christoph Grainger-Herr in Zürich ahead of Watches & Wonders to chat about Kurt Klaus and Günter Blümlein's enduring influence on the brand as well as about IWC's engineering DNA and how these new Portugiesers epitomise the brand's dual character. Let's dive in then, shall we?

Chris is one of the most passionate CEOs in the business. I had the pleasure of meeting him in person and he is such a humble gentleman, good luck IWC!
It would be refreshing if the interviewer let the IWC engineer speak without interruption.
I get excited, it's hard to shut up, thanks for watching - Andrew
Always nice to hear Chris Grainger-Herr talk so passionate about the watches and the brand...
The man lives the brand, you can't ask for more than that - I love to see it - Andrew
Really excited to see IWC introducing Haute Horology and this impressive technical innovation. Inspiring.
🙌
Superlative timepieces.
Well deserved recognition and a strong comeback for IWC.
Wonderful engineering and design
Great to see actual innovation every now and again at W&W!
those casebacks - best I've seen!
Full wide screen, 4k, wow !
4:56 not sure that price shown is correct 😅
Did anyone else catch the "Next Text Layer"? Overall amazing video.
All great. Mind blowing mathematics in developing a beautiful perpetual calendar watch. Thanks for bringing these pieces to light to a lot of us who can just dream. Thanks Andrew. Thanks IWC.
Thanks for watching !
Each of them are stunning! Well done, IWC😍
🙌
Saturday morning, sipping coffee on the balcony with my 3 months’ old son while watching this video of my fav brand with one of the best watch journalists (is that a thing?), life’s good
I know that setting very well, enjoy and thanks for watching - Andrew
Fantastic showcase of design and technology
They put so much into it, glad you appreciate
I can't help but be impressed by the horology, the passion, and the product. For the third year in a row, IWC has brought something worth talking about. I'd gladly wear an engineer (however it's spelt) or a Portugueseer. Ideally, I'd own both!
The brand just fairly quietly work away on doing meaningful, memorable things in my opinion - Andrew
4:55 ...US 895?😮 take my money..
😂 seems like a typo 😅
Maybe did not show the ,000 behind
Me 3
Absolutely gorgeous pieces!
🙌
Beyond
Figured out the perpetual calendar, well done
A great presentation by CGH
Dial looks amazing
this is literally mind blowing
My head still hurts rewatching this - Andrew
Amazing job, Marcus and Andrew!! ❤❤
KABLAMO!
You are approved for use for KABLAMO 🤣
@@Timeandtidewatches 😅🥹❤️
dial down the caffeine intake or whatever causes the short attention span/jitterniness😅 thank you though for your efforts, putting out content like crazy:)
Not here to fck spiders m8 🤣
Super exciting. They have GOT to pair down their offerings to consolidate the brand and stop diluting the used market
That watch is stunning.
Appeals to the eyes, blows the mind
These are some amazing watches.
Thanks for watching
It seems a lot of brands have taken TAG Heuer's glass box design this year. So far I've seen it here on this IWC Portuegeser and the new JLC Duometre.
Not a bad pickup - the box crystal with domed dial is definitely appearing more.
2 years ago you showed the ceratanium iwc pilot’s chronograph with the ceratanium bracelet….but it never released with the ceratanium bracelet … why is that????
Because the bracelet costs as much as the watch without it. You can order it at IWC separately
Going by the watch head, I'm guessing there might be some question marks around durability when it comes to a bracelet. I'd have no fear buying the watch on strap though (probably will myself this year), or a pure ceramic model... but I wouldn't go near a bracelet given it's makeup.
The eternal is impressive. Any reunion of the AET team at W&W?
No, but I did get flashbacks of Ingenieuer while I did this. Thanks for watching - Andrew
4:57 - 895 bucks for such a nice piece! Andrew, send one over to Poland k? ;)
simply supreme time pieces 🤑
Hard not to be impressed
Wow, that's amazing
It's pretty wild in comparison to many releases at W&W
Ice blue 🔵 gorgeous😍😍😍
That is actually absurd, nobody needs that. I want it so bad :)
Amazing how the watch manufactuers keep pushing the boundery of what can be done.
The price on the Gregorian Calendar makes it the best value for money watch in the world as it's only 859$ according to this video
It’s like watching Kanye West interrupt Taylor Swift on repeat. Please let this very interesting person speak
Like I said above, it's hard to cool your jets when you're excited and seeing all this for the first time, but IMMA TRY - Andrew
Price for eternal calendar is what?😅
USD 895 is it an error here?
why he is looking at me while talking to Chris ?
Because if we looked at each other the whole time, it would be a terrible video - you are the third person in the room, join us - thanks for watching - Andrew
The inbound bezel is like Tag Heuer... copy cats... no seriously incredible horoology.
10:33 WHAT Less than $200k that is actually a bargain
Same price exactly as the John Mayer AP QP - what a battle of titans
Thick bricks by IWC 2024
Wish IWC made human sized watches as well as giant sized.
Plz don’t interrupt ppl when they r talking, that’s rude af.
The level of functionality of these watches are sooo over the top ridiculous. It's like the off-road capability engineered into a Land Rover which will never ever get used by 99% of users.
Precisely
Please stop jumping around and interrupting the technical explanations
Andrew can be insufferable, constantly interrupting the person being interviewed. Sorry pal
IWC PORTUGIESER ETERNAL CALENDAR COSTS $895 - TYPO! Haha 😂
All well and good, but can you guarantee you‘ll be able to service and make that day adjustment on my eternal camera in 45m years?
Shut up and let him talk and Christ stop drink so much coffee or speed for gods sake
Awkward chemistry
Looks naff
Wish they make 38 or 39mm.
Yeah
