I always loved the dial and pocket watch vibe but thought they were too large and wished they'd done it in 40-42.

Most early pocket watches were not even 46mm.

IWC Portofino. When big is beautiful.

Ok it is a 46 mm case, but quite thin ( 11 mm ) and the short and thin lugs makes it very wearable. And beautiful! Best, Nicolas ...  

This is IWC at its finest

What a marvellous dial!

And the case is superb, too.

I am sure it is.

I once had the chance to try on the vintage "original" Portofino, and while I was in love with the watch on pictures I did not have a love-at-first-sight experience with it in the flesh...

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

100% agreed.

Hard to believe it’s 46mm!

Almost an oxymoron with the classic dial and large case.

I love

Big watches.

Fully agreed with you Nico, what a nice one

My taste goes for smaller size in general but here I would be happy to make an exception

Hehehe... ;)

I love this watch. Is just absolutely perfectly proportioned
