IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN Watches 2020 presented by Christian Knoop, Creative Director

[@WatchAdvisor]

These are the lug to lug distances for three new Portugieser watches: Ref. 3442, Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 42 --> 50.74mm, Ref. 3583, Portugieser Automatic 40 --> 49.21mm, Ref. 3716, Portugieser Chronograph --> 48.22mm

[@mark13williams13]

WatchAdvisor thanks for coming back to me. All a bit large for my skinny wrists!

[@WatchAdvisor]

I still would recommend you and try the watch(es) on your wrist. Knowing the lug to lug distance for sure is a good base to make a decision, but still the process should end by having the desired watch on your wrist... Let me know if you have any other questions...

[@rgama78]

So the 40mm non-chrono Portugeiser has a longer lug to lug than the larger 41mm chrono Portugeiser?

[@thebeardedyorkshireman8368]

Evening Alexander hope your well. The 40mm is my next big purchase. Love the simple clean look of this watch especially in the white dial with blue markers.

[@WatchAdvisor]

The Bearded Yorkshireman I am fine! And you? That’s a good choice... Bravo. Do you have any questions? Do you need any help? Let me know...

[@enriqueali]

I love the fact that so many Europeans can converse so easily in a 2nd ( and sometimes 3rd) language! I can't think of one American watch channel where that would happen. If I'm not mistaken, both of these gentlemen are in fact native German speakers, but both effortlessly carried on a very detailed jargon-filled discussion for their English-speaking viewers. Loved getting to know more about not just the history of this important line in the IWC family, but also the reasoning behind some of the design choices. Excellent stuff! 😃😃😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@WatchAdvisor]

Yes we are both German native speakers. Thank you very much for sharing our thoughts with us and for the very positive feedback! I love your comment. Please let me know if you any questions about the watches shown...

[@AcmeRocket]

Wow-Watch Advisor dropping major releases from great brands all in one day. Thanks for the videos!

[@WatchAdvisor]

Love your comment! Thanks so much for that wonderful feedback! Let me know if you have any questions and need any support...

[@boeing700]

Bravo IWC! For finally creating a 42mm Porugieser perpetual calendar to fit us mortals. Also love the dial colors on the chronographs, especially that burgundy color. I could see me purchasing my first IWC.... Fantastic renderings..

[@WatchAdvisor]

Real watches filmed would have performed even better on your screen. We will bring asap more detailed pictures of your favorite models...

[@boeing700]

WatchAdvisor, you do an amazing job regardless! Thank you for bringing us in the watch community, something to feel good and happy about during these trying times.

[@pilotwjf]

I also agree, that of all the new releases presented to this point, I think the IWC's are the clear stars of 2020...most notably the perpetuals! I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised, and very impressed by the watches themselves, but also the consise direction IWC seems to be headed. I would love to see these guys, in time, back near the top again. Well done.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Also for me the Portugieser collection ranks among the very best I have seen so far. I would easily be able to buy three new watches...

[@slapshot0074]

For whatever reason Iwc has generally never been a brand that really speaks to me but there are some nice offerings there. If you twist my arm I'll take the red chrono and the blue perpetual calender boutique edition. Many thanks!

[@ilteryilmaz2303]

I almost watched all the new release videos and this one was great both on presentation and the product line. The red dial is to die for, great work.

[@WatchAdvisor]

IWC rocks this year! I could easily but three new watches...

What a great video. You really get the feeling that you are at an authorized dealer carefully showing all the great watches they have to offer. Keep it up :)

Thank you so much for that feedback! Love your comment!

[@robertocarrillo9919]

Since the first time i saw IWC in a visit to swiss i wanted one, but always something miss from them, now i think the potugieser with that movement and size is perfect, i was between JLC and IWC but this time IWC is the winner, great video

[@WatchAdvisor]

Which IWC one will it be? Sorry for being curious... 😉

[@robertocarrillo9919]

@@WatchAdvisor of course, at the moment will be first the iconic portugieser chronograph blue dial and gold, i think that one is fantastic, and my next one will be the portugieser perpetual calender boutique edition, IWC this year really is the winner 👍

[@CJ-rb3do]

Absolutely home runs from IWC here.

[@WatchAdvisor]

YESSSS! I couldn't agree more! The classic Portugieser chronograph with the white dial, the blue numbers and hands Holy sh**!!!

[@ManuB985]

Thank you, you did an amazing job!!!!

[@WatchAdvisor]

Against all odds, still going strong! I am happy that you are happy Manu!

[@Tomatohater64]

One of my favorite watches in the world - love it.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Any favorite?

[@jrlee1031]

Elegant works of Art. Nice and clean 3 hander, looks handsome. Looks promising, this is the year of the Portugieser. I can see IWC selling a lot of this new novelties.

[@WatchAdvisor]

The classic Portugieser chronograph with that white dial and the blue numbers and hands... So beautiful !!

[@jrlee1031]

[@martincannon1221]

@@WatchAdvisor thats exactly the model im going for after this virus is gone, Chronograph, white face, blue accents and blue aligator strap. Gorgeous watch

[@WatchAdvisor]

That chronograph really put a rush on me!

[@ppatpparis]

Wow!!! What a beautiful collection!!!

[@WatchAdvisor]

Which one is you favorite?

[@Porchia87]

Well done IWC. Surprised in a positive way about the Yacht club with white dial . A stunning stainless steel sports watch.

[@WatchAdvisor]

I like to read this and you are not the first to mention this!

[@wristwatch_holic9722]

I was considering to purchase JLC Reverso Tribute duo face blue this year but now I have to choose between Reverso and IWC Portugueser 40mm to add a dress watch for my collection. It's happy headache :)

[@WatchAdvisor]

It is easy! Rectangular versus round 😆 ... Yes, it is happy headache!

[@j.burgess4459]

Yacht Club with tide times? Now that's a class act!

[@WatchAdvisor]

And all the sudden a more or less useless chronograph has a useful function. Who needs a chronograph these days? These watches look good, no doubt, but they are not been used... Cooking tea or spaghettis 😉

[@007-i6z8v]

Nice new novelties from IWC! I'm glad to see that they are slowly coming down in size. I really like the 42mm perpetual, but the classic chrono is also a long love of mine. I wonder if the new in-house moment made the watch thicker than the previous Valjoux 7750? Good job IWC...

[@WatchAdvisor]

No! The dimensions are the same...

[@taksohne3251]

Will IWC upgrade their Portofino collection? I used to own a Portofino chronograph (with Selita movement+solid back) which got stolen and planning to buy the watch again. I was wondering if I should wait until IWC launches portofino with inhouse movement+sapphire back

[@WatchAdvisor]

I think so! It is the clear target to offer in-house calibres in all collections. The capacities are there, it only has to be done...

[@tbd1613]

Thanks a lot Alexander you just ruined my wife's birthday gift! After watching this video I went online and purchased my first IWC Portuguese IW500121Boutique Edition in Rose Gold. It was a stunner and i couldnt resist. I told my wife her birthday gift was on my wrist!!!

[@WatchAdvisor]

No! 🤪 How dare you? 😂

[@MarcusGLovesWatches]

IWC just knocked it out of the park - incredible across the board releases : JLC should try to take their lead lol . Steel yachtclub chrono making a serious run at the Daytona for sure !

[@WatchAdvisor]

my favorite is the Portugieser Chronograph (Ref. 3716) with withe dial, blue numbers & hands...

[@MarcusGLovesWatches]

WatchAdvisor significant update on what’s already a classic 🤩 definitely the most enduring dial design in the brand catalog ❤️

[@barrylattuca5352]

The blue yacht master is stunning!!!

[@jhudiel999]

What did you think about the 40mm blue dial? It looks amazing but I’m thinking if legibility will be an issue if not this is a must have

[@WatchAdvisor]

That's a question we can only answer when we see the watch in real. It is noticed I will talk about in our first touch and feel film-session...

[@gavincheng0394]

Hi Alexandra, when will these watches be available in the IWC boutique?

[@WatchAdvisor]

Will ask and let you know...

[@heinrich3427]

Nice watches! But where is the new Ingenieur? Saw an Instagram post from IWC about the old Ingenieur and thought there would be a new one🤣

[@WatchAdvisor]

Ingenieur might come later this year. This was the first wave and there is for sure more to come. Thats all I my say at this point... Still hope you liked what you saw...

[@jvizzle4]

I have always loved the silver face with blue numbers, but never liked the closed back. Opening the back is huge for me. Now its just a matter of being able to get out and see it in person and also finding a dealer that will work on the price with me.

[@mark13williams13]

What’s the lug to lug dimension of the 40mm time only auto? Also the thickness?

[@WatchAdvisor]

Will ask Monday and let you know asap

[@mark13williams13]

WatchAdvisor Thank you. It’s a shame these dimensions are not mentioned more during watch releases as they make a big difference to how a watch wears.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Please watch our latest Glashütte Original video and see how we solved the “problem”. I will come back with an answer beginning of next week..

[@WatchAdvisor]

Do not yet have the answer, but just urged them to speed up a little...

[@黃煜為]

How about the new pilot watch? Will you introduce them in another vedio?

[@WatchAdvisor]

There are no new pilot Watches! This is the year of the Portugieser! Maybe IWC will release one or two special editions, but the new watches 2020 are Portugieser!

[@obud3777]

That Portugieser Automatic 40! Blue dial please! Shut up and take my money!

[@sanghoonlee5171]

If only the Portuguese were 2mm smaller and thinner, I would immediately run to the nearest IWC boutique for one.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Do you really think that 2mm make such a huge difference? Go and try that watch and you will probably discover that this is not true...

[@jin-suchoi2517]

@@WatchAdvisor I think that 40mm is the best size also for woman and as well as for men. I know it's a dress watch and you should wear it smaller as a woman but the future is big :)

[@GregJ1]

Online boutique, everything's closed

[@naughtydevil3378]

@@WatchAdvisor It makes a difference. More so for the asian market. Generally asian men have smaller wrists. Smaller dress watches not ladies' size, of course, look more understatedly elegant

[@MJagger89]

A 38mm Portuguese restaurant makes no sense. These were originally very large watches with pocket watch movements.

[@shipmate3577]

I want to like IWC... but nothing excites me other than the BigPilot.

[@WatchAdvisor]

the Portugieser and the Pilot are the two main pillars of IWC... So if they've got you with a Big Pilot they have you already...

[@almeladze]

WatchAdvisor Alex what is wrong with IWC? Why cant they produce a decent water resistance watch outside their tool watches?

[@WatchAdvisor]

What is missing for you?

[@gyang333]

This seems like a broad Richemont issue, aside from Panerai. For years, Montblanc sport-style watches only have 30Meters WR.

[@almeladze]

@@gyang333 yeah but you're talking about montblanc. My JLC Master Hometime came with water resistance like 15 years ago and that is a more dress than sport piece. I'm just saying. Otherwise I hear you. Thnx.

[@loganmarquiz9346]

IWC is dying, I am surprised that they have the courage to even launch anything in 2020. Their biggest mistake was making 1000 different pilot watches, and also the stopping of the Ingenieur model. It could have been one of the best selling watches, instead of relaunching the modified IW32302/04/06/09 they completely changed it to a different watch. It is really a pity. Many collections they have are for older gentlemen, like Portuguiser... I am not impressed and I wouldn't buy any of them because I feel the price is far too much.

[@WatchAdvisor]

We will soon see a strong comeback of the Ingenieur. Christoph Grainger-Herr is clearly aware of the potential and power of this collection...

[@loganmarquiz9346]

@@WatchAdvisor I would be happy to help designing the new one then. Let mr. Christoph contact me at any time should they onsider relaunch. Thx
