IWC Portuguese Tourbillion Hand-Wound watch, limited edition of 500 pieces, round 18kt red gold case (43.1mm diameter, 11mm thickness) with see-through case back, black alligator leather strap with 18kt red gold buckle, black dial with red gold hands and Arabic numerals, flying minute tourbillon at 9 o'clock, small seconds display at 6 o'clock, 21 jewel Caliber 98900 self-winding mechanical movement with 54 hour power reserve, scratch resistant sapphire crystal, water-resistant to 30 meters.In the new Portuguese Tourbillon Hand-Wound, the ?whirlwind? ? as the word translates ? revolves on its axis at ?9 o?clock? on the dial; or, in nautical terms, at 270 degrees west. The sight of the mechanical, cantilever-mounted minute tourbillon revolving around its own axis invariably attracts rapt attention from watch lovers. Gracing the dial on the opposite side, at ?3 o?clock?, is the flowing signature of company founder F. A. Jones. Watch cognoscenti will be unable to resist the temptation to cast a glance through the transparent sapphire-glass back, where they will see the IWC-manufactured 98900-calibre movement with its intricately decorated, nickel-plated three-quarter bridge made of nickel silver. It belongs in the long tradition of the 98 calibre, which was first designed for hunter pocket watches in the 1930s and has since been continuously improved. For this model, IWC?s engineers increased the balance frequency to 28,800 beats per hour, which guarantees excellent precision. As you would expect of such a desirable timepiece, this gem in 18-carat red gold is strictly limited to 500 watches.
