IWC have announced some of their new watches for 2020. This release is based on the IWC Portugieser range. The biggest improvement is all the watches now have in-house movements.
The watches I look at are:
IWC PORTUGIESER AUTOMATIC 40mm
IWC PORTUGIESER TOURBILLON RÉTROGRADE CHRONOGRAPH
IWC PORTUGIESER YACHT CLUB CHRONOGRAPH
IWC PORTUGIESER YACHT CLUB MOON & TIDE

Love that you cover IWC a good amount, as other you tubers do not. Once you own one and experience the company you really get a sense of how great they are

[@tomscott4438]

Always liked IWC, just never saw the value in them... until that Portugieser Automatic 40mm. With a 60 hour power reserve and Côtes de Genève perlage for virtually the same money ($7,200 USD vs $7,050) as a JLC Ultra Thin Small Seconds with only 43 hour power reserve and lacking the movement detail, makes this look a realtively good value. And NEVER apologize for barbequing when the weather permits. As a former resident of Minnesota I remember doing it in December, in my garage... during a blizzard. Gotta do what you gotta do.

[@Watchmade]

The Portugieser line of IWC has one of the beautiful design elements of dress watches ever.

[@jordanmcclurkin2657]

Interesting how the different sides of the watch industry have reacted and dealt with the pandemic. Love the IWC releases overall. Generally, think they’ve hit the mark. Stay safe!

[@1018Frankie]

The one I like the most is the Automatic 40, it’s simplicity is what attracts me! Let see how these keeps developing withe these pandemic and the lockdowns! Nice video, please keep making them so we can distract our minds! Thanks from the Caribbean 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@yoroshikune08]

Ribs and charcoal...that's one of the nicest smell.... unless they are burnt.... Love those new IWC watches... My vote for the most innovating piece, definitely the one from Rebellion Timepieces; WEAP-ONE Diamond Asymmetrical Flying Tourbillon Thanks for sharing. Have a nice Sunday Adrian. Cheers.

[@davidthom7127]

I have to say, even though I will never be able to afford an IWC watch, there is something about them that makes me lust after their style.

[@MarcusGLovesWatches]

IWC huge winners at WnW - across the board brilliant releases , didn’t see a bad one at all .

[@oldskool1971chris]

Love your videos Adrian. Always find myself chuckling at your nonchalant, bordering on tasteful sarcastic humour. It's great! Keep 'em coming!

[@BarkandJack]

Haha. Cheers Chris. 👍🏻

[@dancomber]

Can honestly say these are the first IWC’s that I have liked! They have nailed this batch of watches

[@matthias8574]

Yacht Club Moon and Tide has one of the best date display integrations I have ever seen on a watch

[@jeffreysbaysurftrips3686]

Great video!The tide function is very useful to surfers and other watersport fans.

[@therapiststeve3294]

Omega is closed as well. As a result, my Omega Seamaster is stuck in Servicing limbo because the watchmaker has no access to Omega parts at this time :-(

[@RobinH8869]

Looking forward to seeing the 40mm Blue dial (which I don’t think you showed). Love my blue dial IWC pilot so the portuguesa should be lovely too.

[@rickymherbert2899]

Another classic Bark & Jack video Adrian, I see IWC watches as ones I would "aspire" to own, especially their 40mm Pilot line. As a former Master Mariner I would rather reach for my copy of Admiralty tide tables than rely on something on my wrist. Regardless of the complications and price! Going off on a tangent, how about a video on your taste in whiskies? Keep safe, keep sane and keep producing such top notch content.

[@monsterous289]

Bring back "International Watch Co." "IWC" in times New Roman is so tacky

[@defenstrator4660]

Nice review. As a boater the tide function is legit. But a tide table costs $15 so not crucial. But if you do have a boat and actually do the navigation then it would be a nice thing to have for your local waters. I like the new Yacht Clubs, but I do wish they were 42 rather than 44. They're always going to be big though, as that's the Portugueser DNA.

[@adammac4381]

Maybe you can cover "Christian van der klaaw",,, they had tidal indicators a long time ago, and the first watch company to design planetarium functions

[@CH-yp5by]

That Yacht club with the moon and the tide time is extremely useful if you are into fishing! The tide times and moon phase make a large difference for feeding times for fish so I would definitely use this in future!

[@niallmurphy8865]

Tides can be really useful. Many beaches / coastal areas are tidal and are best visited at certain tides.

[@niallmurphy8865]

I'd be interested in finding out about other watches that effectively track tides.

[@DSON89]

Was it only me, but did the last watch for yacht owners, only have 30m water-resistance?

[@mbmarcobeato]

Love the tide complication! you know of any other watch that has that function?

[@markplayford5836]

Not the biggest fan of IWC but the time only, sub seconds, white dial is gorgeous. Just way way too expensive of course. Yet another cracking video Adrian, loving this stuff. 👍

[@ivankerr3570]

Nice watches . The Yacht club bracelet looks like a Ball bracelet.

[@ref6122]

I really like the smaller 40 mm size on the automatics. Very clean ,there nothing not to like except the somewhat high price which can be circumvented with discount or buying pre owned.

[@brianfrancis5711]

While the new 40 mm automatic will appeal to more people due to decreased size and no need to wind, IWC is turning its back on the history of the Portuguese and what made it unique. It was developed for 2 merchants from (you guessed it) Portugal to be a wristwatch that was accurate enough to be used as a marine chronometer and thus had a manual wind pocket watch movement in a huge case. Hope they don’t drop this version from the catalogue. It’s similar to when they made the Ingenieur with a sapphire case back and no antimagnetism a couple years back. What are they thinking?

[@verykeen2please]

i need a watch for the tide on the canal. However i do like the Auto 40

[@ianmansfield68]

2:20 I like the way you segued into the B&J shop sponsorship plug - very smooth. Also, great watches. There's something very different and yet classic looking about IWC.

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks a lot Ian 👍🏻

[@ABCTEST213]

3:13 ignore the price, I think all watch lovers know this feeling when you are looking at a beautiful watch, but can't afford........

[@yoroshikune08]

so very true....ahhh... yes....

[@robertsullivan4773]

Looking back on this year old vid you really missed the importance release the 42mm perpetual calendar. The yacht club and the Torbiion are too fringe releases for your audience.

[@TheRealMafoo]

Just an FYI: I live on a sailboat, and tides do matter a great deal to me. I have a watch with a tide indicator, and I use it. However in that price range, I would never be wearing that watch when I need to know the tide :)

[@itsalgud1459]

As a devoted body surfer, I can tell you that anybody who swims, fishes or sails in the ocean could use the tide feature.

[@bombazine2]

Portuguese will always be a 42mm 3 hand watch for me. In my dreams I’d love a 40mm steel calatrava.

[@adventureswithtime]

One thing that bothers me is when they cut off part of the hour number. Is see that a bit with these watches you discussed. When I went to the IWC boutique in NYC back in December, I tried in the Portuguese Moonphase with Roman numerals. There the moonphase sundial was partially obscuring the XII to the point where it looked like a VII. Other than that, I thought that watch was great. Have you noticed other makers doing this? Does it bother you?

[@chazzcombs]

I love the aesthetic of IWC watches in general but their prices are way out of the range of what I'd consider reasonable for what you get. Those are all pre-owned-only options for me. Good vid on them, though.

[@DuxEtRex]

That blue Retrograde is pure 🔥

[@davidogilvie6873]

As someone who is just getting into serious astrophotography, I’ve been wondering if a moonphase watch might actually be something useful for me to own - when planning out what I’m going to be shooting, sometimes with only a few hours notice (cloudy skies suddenly clearing up in the evening), knowing how bright the moon will be is a necessity in knowing what I can shoot - if it’s full moon it makes it much harder shooting deep space objects. Yes I can just google it (that is what I do now) but we can all use our phones to tell the time anyway.... As nice as that IWC is though I also am not in a position to drop that amount of money on anything haha.

[@louisefarquharson7870]

Do I W C hold the money comparison to Rolex the watches are nice

[@homefink2235]

Again a great vid. Thanks for that. The bicolor Chrono with the bracelet is an eye catcher. But. 44.5 cases are too big for my wrist.

[@opiew737]

Another enjoyable video! Great work Adrian 👍👏

[@harcotelindert]

What I don’t understand to have a Yachting watch with 30m water resistance. Would expect at least 100m for £30k+

[@gavincheng0394]

Thanks for this update. IWC are good quality, beautifu, excellent craftsmanshipl and expensive.

[@bryanhull931]

Adrian, rude about Reading (my home town) but I guess you were probably working at Green Park. If so I know what you are saying.

[@jimbegin6554]

Bryan Hull, Was it the Festival?

[@BarkandJack]

Haha yeah I was referring to the festival.

[@TheProco2020]

@@BarkandJack I was taking it as a bit of local knowledge by you. In South Reading (Festival is North) we have a sewage works and for we do not for how long it's been called the Whitley Whiff as if the winds in the right direction and the weather is warm that part of town stinks! I live in sight of the Festival ground and can hear it of an evening, who needs to buy tickets and roll in mud when you can sit in the garden and listen with a glass of wine.

[@jimbegin6554]

Bryan Hull. We’ll all be over for the next Festival, once the dreaded C-19 has passed! Keep the wine chilled.😉😂

[@patrickdaly5988]

I was sure that we’d see a Mark XIX this year. They’re not going to keep that new movement just for the Spitfire. Did the pilot line used to get a separate event?

[@adrianchoo337]

Love the watches. However, the yacht club moon & tide has 30m water resistance...what?...

[@masterUKdave]

It's not a dive watch, it's an observation watch 😉

[@stevefox8605]

Guess you're not supposed to fall overboard 😂

[@mr_watchaddict3146]

It’s like the Rolex Yacht master - only for use on board. When falling overboard you must quickly don the Sea Dweller 😉

[@adrianchoo337]

@@mr_watchaddict3146 aha, maybe the submariner. And once you pass the 300m mark you have the sea dweller, then...😁 Triple wristing. That's how they get you to buy watches.

[@patrickdaly5988]

Mark Read eh? The YM has a 100m rating with a triple lock crown. The IWC hydrophobia is just bizarre.

[@martinwild9192]

Loving the new Portugieser range but must take issue with your comment about 'why have a moon phase?': In many parts of the world knowledge of the arrival of a new moon is not only of interest, its absolutely essential. The Holy month of Ramadan cannot begin until a new moon is sighted and very VERY wealthy families will pay a premium to have this knowledge accurately indicated on their wrist. Keep up the good work

[@Kokobaboo]

I love them. Especially the Yacht one but too pricey for me. Wonder if the wonderful rubber bracelet can fit in something cheaper... humm.

[@davidjb3671]

Hi Adrian, if you live by the sea knowing the tides is actually very useful, whether you're boating, fishing, diving or just going for a walk along the beach. Arguably a more useful complication than a moonphase (unless you're a werewolf of course). So in a way I'm surprised it's not more common - a dive watch with a tide complication would make real sense. Maybe Omega can step up with a Seamaster which really masters the sea. Cheers

[@stevefox8605]

Love the styling, but size more appropriate to be hanging round 80's rappers necks 😂 Cheers mate, stay healthy everyone 👍🏻

[@scottallan3327]

I just love IWC, I have large wrists 8.25

[@JamesK1963]

I love IWC, but I can't wear them. Even the 40mm Pilot watches seem to wear too big on me. Bigger than my Sub...

[@randomnameindeed]

They're all way too big.

[@masterUKdave]

Maybe you should look out for ladies watches instead. The sub does also have 40mm if i'm not mistaken

[@randomnameindeed]

David Ding But it comes with a rotating bezel, meaning the dial on the sub is way smaller than the dial on a 40mm pilot watch. Watches used to be way smaller than they are now, 36mm used to be the standard gents size back in the day.

[@ProCelestialEmpire]

Same here. I really like their Annual Calendar one, but after trying it in store, I found it's like wearing a plate on my small wrist... If they could reduce the size to 40mm even with a 70 hours or 100 hours power reserve movement, that would be great.

[@JamesK1963]

@@masterUKdave my wrists are 7 1/4" so they're not small. The Sub fits me well. IWCs seem too big for me.

[@davidsaltman5475]

They look like wonderful watches. At the low end, affordable.

[@RobinHood-us7sg]

Will you be covering all the brands who are releasing new watches or just the ones you have a relationship with!?

[@BarkandJack]

Only the ones I’m interested in. That includes the ones I have relationship with. Naturally I’ve created relationship with the brands I like.

[@watchesoflondon2333]

Brilliant as always Adrian! Thanks

[@NikkenMagboy]

One of the best looking yacht watches I’ve come across is the Tag Heuer Searacer from the year 2000. Do check it out! Still looking for NOS of this one today.

[@marcusdrotning6436]

The Moon and Tide version is awesome. I also want the Yachtmaster II and I tell myself that I can use the count down timer for making coffee in my french press...

[@sofrech1991]

The Yacht Club's crown guards are a bit too "vintage Omega Bond Seamaster" for me.

[@SKYBJERN]

Cant wait for the next video. Thank you for your content

[@davida7586]

Beautiful pieces. Thanks for the video!

[@pth8888]

U like retrograde? Then u need to check out Longines Master Quadruple Retrograde. It has 4 retrogrades, packed with lots of functions including GMT, moon phase... and most importantly, it is very reasonably priced. I don’t see any other Brands offering such complications. Go check it out.

[@andreaiacolina]

I really like this shade of blue with the rose gold case. The yacht club chrono is nice, but 44 mm??? Anyway I cannot afford it, so I don't have the problem 😂

[@erythuria]

Is it just me, or does the 30m WR really limit the versatility of these pieces? I mean, especially in one called "Yacht Club"!

[@jwdepriest]

I agree the moon and tide is very beautiful. But too big and I'd never get any use out of that complication.

[@a-shaw-photo]

Fun review video 😊

[@vasunadella2076]

[@The2follow]

Thank you, love the IWC watches but like you unless things change i will not be wearing one soon but they do look good

[@danisheverblue]

In general the collection looks great but there are some disappointments like for example the yacht collection your charging well 10K and with only 30m of water resistant is pretty bad; & it's a collection that shows timings regards to water, sure target audience is people with boats.

[@BarkandJack]

These all have in-house movements.

[@CharlieTangoAlfa]

I love the the Yacht Club (except for the size and prize) with the tide indicator, which I personally would find useful. However, making a watch that is so clearly for sailing, and only giving it 30 metres of water resistance makes no sense... At all.

[@igorcicala7]

the prices are a bit high

[@jongoodman7563]

I have to say, I tried on a 45 mm Handwound Portofino Moonphase and loved the complications and artistry, but couldn’t pull the trigger because of the size. It simply made me feel too self conscious. (That said, I’d wear that thing all day if by myself.) Wish it didn’t make me feel so conflicted. Then again, who’s dropping $10K on ANYTHING that makes them feel conflicted?

[@rickvarsava2529]

Very Nice, but I think they could loose the words "Yacht Club" on the dial.

[@britannia2129]

Growing up idolising the IWC on my dad’s wrist, I always look forward to their new watches. One day I’ll have one too. Thanks for the vid, Adrian 👍

The first Portugieser is twice as expensive as the Breitling Premier Automatic 40 with the same function and without a sunburst dial. IMHO, IWC is way off with its pricing.

[@mountainman6172]

Is it just my imagination...? Or is IWC moving to in-house calibers in most of their new releases? By the look of it, practically the all of this new watches are in house powered, even the cheapest ones... that’s not what you find in other lines such as pilot or ingenieur collections

[@ChrisAlvarezAlvarezImaging]

What is it about watches that makes people get annoyed at pricing I wonder, what I mean is, plenty of us I'm sure drool over new Farraris or Lambos or Bugattis, or even Corvettes and have no problem with their prices because I assume we have that little voice that says "Man Thats georgous, but I'll never own one" but when it comes to timepieces I always look at IWC and Patek, etc and think "HTF is that worth $100k??

[@jonathanmiles897]

Interesting video. I like the designs but a Tourbillon is like you say is pointless, Yacht club designs far too large and 30m water resistance for use with a yacht?. Functionality that no-one will use and unattainable prices for the average enthusiast. I guess I am not in the IWC customer demographic. Nice designs is all they will be to me. Thanks for the video.

[@jeanlefranc3817]

Wearing a different timepiece everyday, I cannot be bothered to reset day, month, moonphase, celestial time, tidal time and what not seven times a week. So I usually focus on three handers, maybe with a nice date window Which is why the most interesting of the bunch in this video is the Portugieser Automatic 40. Looks brilliant, I guess finishing is top end, the movement is a thing of beauty, dimensions are spot on and, while £6500 is not a small amount of money for the entry level in any brand, it’s not absurd when talking about IWC. But 30 meter depth rating ? Come on, the Portugieser is a wrist worn marine chronometer for God’s sake, not a fashion gimmick. And I’m not even sure it’s chronometer certified. 😲 Not so long ago on this channel, another Swiss brand got some flak for having no screw down crown on a casual water sports watch, despite boasting 100 meter of water resistance.
