IWC Schaffhausen Portofino Automatic 150 Years Edition – Ref: IW365618

DESCRIPTION

Florentine Aristo Jones founded IWC in 1868, in 1867 he applied for a European passport with the ambition to create watches using the American system of Watchmaking. This system was derived from the Federal Armories at Springfield and Harpers Ferry, where high-precision interchangeable parts were needed for armaments, this was perfect to use in watchmaking and Florentine was a pioneer in introducing it to the Swiss. In 1868 Florentine and Charles Kidder ended up in Schaffhausen Switzerland, originally called the company F. A Jones & Co which was later changed to IWC International Watch Company.

The 2018 IWC Portofino Edition “150 Years” Blue IW356518 Limited to 2000 pieces, part of the 150th Jubilee collection celebrating their foundation in 1868. A curvaceous 40mm polished stainless steel case that curves over your wrist towards the elegantly curved lugs, a lug-to-lug length of 44.5mm and a case thickness of just 9mm ensure a comfortable fit. On the right side is a signed crown. A smooth polished bezel holds a convex sapphire crystal above a deep blue lacquered dial.
