Lobster Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Just saw an update that IWC will be presenting some new Portofino models. The new Portofino collection will be launched in 2011 and will consist of four new models (an automatic, a chronograph, a dual-time and a hand-wind with 8 day power reserve). So far only pictures of the 8 days has been released. Available in 18kt rose gold and in stainless steel. Movement is the new IWC in-house caliber 59210 (measures 37.8mm). It comes with a leather strap by the Italian shoe makers Santoni, and is exclusive to IWC. Pics : Can't wait to see the others. I am loving this excitement. BTW Concepta, could you get the movements by any chance ?
Lobster Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Posted January 11, 2011 no idea about the size, but people are saying it's in the 45mm region which is not too bad. the chrono may be in the 42mm region which is similar to the 3717 which I am happy about.
Lobster Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Posted January 11, 2011 i wish i had bigger wrists. 44mm is like the max size i'd go to. wonder what the "dual time" will look like. i really think that "old school" looks have dominated the watch space the last two years, wouldn't you guys agree?
pabler Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Probably difficult to rep this movement. Nice new classic watch!
josh_w Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 I'm sure if repped it'll have a fixed reserve meter or a sunken date wheel - pick one.
Ruma Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 I usually like them more sporty, but his is indeed a beautiful watch
Lobster Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Posted January 17, 2011 http://www.iwc.com/collection/portofino/ Guys, please have a look. I am just awed... beautiful pieces!
ubiquitous Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Very pretty dial and case, but I wish the lugs were a little wider. The width as it stands now seems a little narrow and unbalanced for that wide of a case (in my opinion).

They just released all the pics for all new models.
ubiquitous Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Overall some very beautiful pieces! The 3910 somehow has a strange allure that I find myself attracted to the most...

Lobster Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Posted January 17, 2011 Absolutely agree. Let's wait for the price list ... and then whether our rep factories can get them and do the you-know-what
