Two clients from Portugal tasked IWC's watchmakers with producing wristwatches that were as accurate as marine chronometers. In those days, the only way of achieving that goal was to take movements from pocket watches and put them in wristwatch cases. IWC used a 74 caliber movement from Hunter as the basis for the new line, christened Portuguese (or Portugieser) after the homeland of the clients who inspired it. Since the Hunter movement was a hefty 37mm alone, the Portuguese required a large case to match, a huge departure from the slim cases that typified wristwatches of the 1930s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1993, the brand's 125th anniversary, IWC introduced the Portuguese Reference 5441. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced in 2005, the Reference 5001 series (which we offer here), is the modern extension of the iconic Portuguese form.

At the time, that meant one thing—scale. IWC’s solution was to house a pocket-watch movement inside a wristwatch case, creating something radically oversized for its time. When the original debuted in 1939, its proportions were shocking, its clarity unmatched. It didn’t follow the rules—it quietly rewrote them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFast forward to 2015, and the Reference 5102 arrives as a 75th anniversary tribute to that original idea.
