IWC Unveils the the Portuguese Minute Repeater

In 2009, Swiss watchmaker IWC unveiled a new variation of one of its most classically beautiful high complication watches--the Portuguese Minute Repeater. Among other subtle changes, the revised IWC Portuguese Minute Repeater possesses a subsidiary second sub-dial that has been shifted from the 9 o'clock position to 6 o'clock, and an 18-karat gold or platinum case which measures 44mm--a diameter two millimeters larger than the previous model.

The stately elegance of the designand the sublime mastery of its mechanical movement has not beeen changed. Through the sapphire exhibition case back, the IWC Calibre 98950is clear to your eyes. As a hand-wound movement, it has undergone subtle evolution since its first appearance in the 1920's.Comprised of 205 individual components, including gilt-engraved bridges and plates in nickel silver, the Calibre 98950 incorporates signature features of the historical IWC Jones pocket-watch calibers; chief among these elements are a lengthy adjustment index, and a large diameter screw balance with a Breguet hairspring and special adjustment cams. The highly complex minute repeating mechanism activates upon request when the lever on the case is operated; it chimes the hours on a low note, quarter hours on alternating high-low notes, and individual minutes with individual high notes. In the manner of all fine minute repeater movements, it features an all-or-nothing mechanism that precludes striking unless the slide is manipulated correctly. The IWC Calibre 98950 has a classical balance frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour with 46 hours’ power reserve.
 
Only 500 pieces of the newIWC Portuguese Minute Repeater watch will be produced and each is in 5N 18-karat red gold and platinum. Both versions of this complicated IWC classic display elegant silvered dials with applied Arabic numerals, polished leaf-shaped hands, and a railroad minute track. Straps in hand-sewn alligator leather are fitted with IWC-signed folding buckles in 18-karat gold or platinum.
