Nicolas (amanico) presents a compelling case for the IWC Portofino 46mm, challenging conventional notions of wearability for larger timepieces. His personal experience and photographic evidence highlight how design elements like case thickness and lug geometry can profoundly impact a watch's on-wrist presence. This article explores why the Portofino's proportions resonate with collectors, even those who typically prefer smaller watches.
What a marvellous dial!
I almost regreted it ! And even now when I see it in photos I am still disappointed not to have liked it that much ! Undoubtedly IWC at its best, this re-edition is prety nice and somehow faithful to the original one
Almost an oxymoron with the classic dial and large case.
My taste goes for smaller size in general but here I would be happy to make an exception
Most early pocket watches were not even 46mm.
Can you tell me the exact ref of this one please?
