It’s Crystal Clear: IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Eight Days Edition 75th Anniversary

When vintage-inspired watches are designed, the result can be a timepiece that looks removed from its history and context and feels lacking in substance. Not so with the IWC Hand-Wound Eight Days 75th Anniversary edition, which is a subtle mix of original styling and accurate sizing combined with improvements that don’t detract from the soul of the watch.
