Check out our new Mugs and Watch Cubes: barkandjack.com

[@nicolacubeddu6897]

Finally some talk about other brands, not the usual Rolex, Tudor and Omega.

[@TikTik_Boom]

Strange how much better it looks with the sub dial at 3&9 as opposed to 12&6 👌🏻

[@user-tu5uq9dy2h]

lug to lug? Lug-to-Lug? LUG TO LUG?...

[@stevens1041]

You're on top of all my favorite releases this week. Great Portuguese models.

[@ruggsterify]

Thanks Adrian, thinking all of us IWC fans appreciate the through descriptions of the movements and case without having to travel to an IWC AD. Mine is 1.5 hours away so learning from you is a nice treat!

[@xu10j4rs1]

42 Looks lovely, case back looks awesome filling the crystal!

[@LoveSerah]

look very fine the new watches, thanks for the quick intro

[@kanzfarras8915]

IWC Should just hire Adrian as their chief marketing 😭😭😭

[@BarkandJack]

How can you say “clearly” when you’re wrong? 🤡 And how can you say “favourable”, that’s implying you know my thoughts better than me? So odd. You get a double 🤡🤡

[@Sbgj015]

Unfortunately he has a non compete clause in his Rolex employment agreement

[@raghavkapoor2763]

@@cdm765If Mr.Adrian were paid for this review then Why would he say negative things about the watch ? Sometimes just take a second and think before typing comments !

[@USCtrojans26]

IWC are one of the best Swiss watch brands. Their customer service is unmatched in the industry and their watches are top notch quality. Just walk into one of their boutiques. They’re just slightly too big for my taste but besides that, all praises towards IWC are warranted. This is truly one of the top 2 or 3 best watch enthusiasts watch brand.

[@gregs.8895]

But how does it look on a B&J nato?

[@NorthofYou1]

I love the understated and classy look of these. Lovely.

[@TiMEworn]

Color matched date disc on the blue dial version somehow caught my eye more than it should 👍

[@GuyVanderAa]

Clear and beautiful. Gorgeous. 😎

[@The_Uni85]

Getting more excited by this that any IWC material i've ever seen. Great video!

[@stephengarratt8027]

Clean designs

[@MLBoisen]

Recently saw these in person and side by side with previous Portugugieser models- the improvements are subtle but significantly improve the aesthetic, especially the back crystal! The new dial colors are 🔥

[@paulkukula6541]

Keep it coming Adrian. All geeked & excited for Watches & Wonders.

[@achraftahir]

That maroon dial Portugueser always melts my heart

[@user-fu1yp6lq2c]

nkuwan You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much

[@robertm8401]

Stunning collection. Happy 300k subs Adrian!🎉

[@moealyasini2784]

Wow !! Beautiful

[@petersmith5638]

Love IWC watches

[@austinzizzi1142]

The 40 black and gold was my favorite release from this range

[@modernastronomers2596]

That chrono is absolutely beautiful. My next watch purchase I think

[@yafoz77]

The black version of the 7 day is treating me well. I agree, it looks much nicer in person. Cheers,

[@bdegrds]

Love iwc

[@justinobrien9241]

Nice watches, good review 👍🏻

[@david300m]

Beautiful, thanks for sharing.

[@kimchiwasabee]

Recently tried on a new LONGINES Chrono. Drop dead gorgeous,.... but 17mm thick. 😮😮😮😮😮😮 dealbreaker.

[@EdwardViaTomato]

The Yacht Club is one of my favorite watches, though I'm surprised they haven't revisited the OG yet. I'd bet that they're working on it though.

[@AdamRLincoln]

Huge congrats on 300K!!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@darellhunter2205]

I'm late to the video as I just recently got interested in IWC. If you could review the Moon Phase from this range that would be awesome. Cheers!

[@tomoneil4151]

Is the seconds hand moving when hacking with crown pulled normal for watches at this price point? (3:36) I've noticed the portugieser 40mm doing the same when I checked it out in person. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of hacking for setting accurate time?

[@GordonMoat]

Long time fan of these, though the price always has me looking at other watches.

[@sanghoonlee5171]

Portugieser has always been a big watch. IWC needs to bring back the Kleine ("Small") Portugieser.

[@TommyRibs]

It actually looks like a Patek.

[@wheelsandwatches]

Crystal clear 😂

[@user-fz6cf4ru7y]

I don't find 13mm for an automatic chronograph thick. It's actually quite proportional to the 41mm case and appropriate. A Daytona for comparison is 12.3mm, which is fantastic, but other automatic chronographs are usually in the 15mm height range.

[@romanustin]

In two words: Massive Crystal

[@kimcoulter806]

Have the red Chrono and went back to IWC factory for the red alligator band. Now it rocks and I luv it.

[@arturoCM007]

Adrian is like the Richard Hammond of watches. I just noticed this.

[@99jasonhooper]

That cancelled element was almost a meme 😂

[@adamzain6770]

Something tells me it’ll be more than fifty quid. Reminds me of that famous T E Lawrence Omega which, I suppose was also a pocket watch influenced piece?

[@ghitsta]

Hi Adrian, it would be really great if you could have slightly longer wrist shots in your videos and about 6 inches or so back from your current camera zoom level... this gives us viewers a little more of an idea of what the watch looks like on the wrist (which lets be honest is the main thing we're interested in). Throughout the video, the wrist shots are only a few seconds in length before cutting away and I find myself skipping through or rewinding just to get a good look at the product! many thanks

[@Ds92817]

I love IWC, but is this a paid review? Feels like it by the way you’re describing the cons. Can you let us know please Adrian? Were you paid for this review? Thanks in advance. Big fan of your work and love your b&j straps. 👌

[@masterwatch]

being too thin puts pressure on the engineering integrity of the case and movement. I am going to do a video on "thin watches"... 🤓 the non-screw down case back on the 7 day looks like an attempt to reduce size... umm... I need to see in the hand but I hope it is not a size thing or responding to fashion trend.

[@MikePaget]

How does this compare to the Unitas driven Stowa?

[@mt24Carson]

Congrats Adrian on 300k subs! Cheers 👍⌚☕

[@johnscholl6719]

It’s funny, I’ve worked in high end retail and as an event photographer in Miami for 7 years and have never seen a single person wearing an IWC watch.

[@fcc5923]

Gorgeous watches! Cannot afford it or, let's say, i cannot justify the price, so I've bought a tissot small seconds, as an alternative...

[@poleypoley3385]

When can we see the Portuguesier eternal calendar ?

[@mikebarrett2038]

Any idea which watch Adrian is wearing? Not sure why it distracted me so much 😂

[@BarkandJack]

BB58 silver. 👍🏻

[@mikebarrett2038]

Great choice. Mine is on the way. Would love to see your ownership thoughts. Loved the video you already did.

[@fjones1914]

I prefer their Big Pilot line.

[@keithburford8589]

Feck it ! I would wear that Portugieser upside down and check the time on my phone , that twin barrel movement looks the tits.

[@jaredcoffin3907]

Always surprising to see the number font on the sub dials NOT matching that of the main dial (see the number "'" and "4" for example). So much gushing over how every detail was attended to. Yet this, "nails on the chalkboard" error persists. Ugh!

[@larzoneth]

IWC in 38mm needed

[@morgan97475]

Nothing against IWC, but I've not seen any of them that really grab my attention.

[@Subz2099]

Love that BB 925 on the wrist @adrian!

[@statlerwaldorf7130]

Great review of a gorgeous watch, I look forward to seeing if I can actually afford one, fingers crossed

[@davidelliott948]

I miss the touch of red on the power reserve indicator.

[@yellowsnowball3989]

That's hot.

[@Phil-ci3bd]

Excellent- thank you Look out for the movie Anthony Zimmer where that watch is the motif

[@jhrodriguez08]

A bunch of bricks 🧱

[@LiamTyler-rl7qt]

Nice new watch on your wrist! BB58 925? Is that your personal watch?

[@steelsteez6118]

6:37 Not at 42mm it ain't!

[@Joker-em6oz]

It’s not 42mm

[@gambino742]

How much does IWC pay its youtubers?

[@anteroceschin6649]

You have a 6.5cm wrist?

[@GrahamKerr.RealEstate]

Came here looking for this comment, I assume he meant inches

[@bindoctrinated3147]

That Blue One, NICE! Are you wearing the new monochrome BB?

[@ZeroSOFInfinity]

Just waiting for Adrian's video on the 2024 Rolex releases. Man, THEY WERE BAD.

[@gregs.8895]

Lol, only 60 hours of power reserve... ok, 7 days is nuts and awesome just to think about

[@trancimal]

wish they updated the red dial

[@DudeEsq]

I’ve recently tried on most of their collection. Beautiful movements, but the sizes and fit are consistently way off. I wish I could like them.

[@Tanukifuji]

Have they improved the water resistance?

[@wsy3991]

yes! water resistant for 7 days is now 5 bars instead of 3 bars

[@kubicska]

I’ve never understood a power indicator on an automatic watch. Make it manual and maybe 1 mm thinner.

[@bdegrds]

Your very confused.

[@static369]

Locing the 42's.... Classy...

[@avenuefive8593]

Min 17cm wrist to pull it off

[@barryvercueil2346]

Absolutely my favorite Longines Homage.

[@DrIstoris]

Homage? Lmao

[@BarkandJack]

🤣

[@jaydub9509]

Great review and beautiful watches. I really like the style, so elegant, just wish I could justify the expense.

[@ripperx444]

Same watch as before...

[@Valera_Scotland]

Comment deleted? Was saying id love this in 39mm x 11mm thick... my Mark xvi with those dimensions is superb

[@cedshred1676]

Very nice looking watches, but I would much much prefer a thinner watch and a ~60 hour power reserve. With regard to the chronograph, I hope the new models have better pusher action than the old model. When I played around with the older model about a year ago I was shocked at how absolutely crappy the feel was when using the chronograph, especially for such an expensive watch.

[@Wildcatjames1]

They all look great to me, just sadly out of my price point

[@vvvhhhhhbb]

IWAc such an underrated brand. And such an amazing brand.

[@tomislavm2873]

underrated??? trolling much?

[@RuZgAr____]

The best of Watches & Wonders 2024 is Zenith!

[@NatureLead]

oooh....i have to say, I like the older style better.....#sad

[@Timjacks01]

I do like IWC but just feel they should stay away from sub dials 😬

[@BumblebumBear]

Not keen

[@SuperWhofan1]

Too big and too expensive. What a shame. IWC overprices all their watches.

[@nikolaikrustev1159]

42 - the thickness and fussiness of a chrono without the functionality .. meh. The actual chrono looks great though.

[@patrickdaly5988]

Nice looking watches, but Richemont's pricing strategy for IWC is simply daft.

[@mgro8692]

Love the design, but to thick for my taste

[@p.b.3108]

3:35 I trink IWC has big problems with their movements; look at the seconds and the minutes hands when Adrian is pulling out the crown. They jump weirdly. My Mark XX does the same. IWC please fix that movement problems. For this price point definitely not accebtable.

[@morfius85]

Almost first 😂

[@RuZgAr____]

It's so weird that you skipped Zenith, the best new models at watches& wonders 2024! How could you not have discovered the first Zenith Defy diver watches and chronograph watches!

[@Vartan297]

Don’t know why anyone puts anti reflective coatings on outside. Seen so many that looks rubbish after a few years. Let’s put an almost un scratch-able crystal on a watch and then coat it in something that is easily scratched… weird.

[@takaakikizu]

why don't you speak slower and show each model longer.

[@bohouss3622]

Again, and again, too thick for such a watch.

[@pauldharwar1336]

Too big.

[@kjakan79]

Rolex lanch was so bad that you start with IWC

[@watches202]

meh

[@atreidis3946]

Hmm, nothing special.. like the new Rolex releases. Nomos and H.Moser did a better job I think.

[@adrianonast3599]

They are not exciting

[@jmbaug1229]

New Rolex GMT is super exciting 😅🤣😂
