With IWC Extract from the Archives dated 20 September 2010 confirming the sale of the present "Portugieser" watch to Kuchar & Wittmann, Bratislava, on 16 February 1944.
In the late 1930s, IWC received a rather unusual order from a customer in Portugal who requested a wristwatch with the same size and accuracy of a pocket watch. To comply with his request, IWC chose their at the time slimmest and most reliable calibre 74 movement and cased it in stainless steel.
The revolutionary model immediately became a legend and classic amongst collectors and was also the obvious choice to celebrate the company's 125th anniversary in 1993 with the launch of a limited edition of total 1000 examples. Since then, the "Portugieser" series of watches comprising nearly every conceivable horological complication has been one of IWC's most successful line.
