The thinness of a watch is a triumph of engineering, elegance without bulk. Forget slab-sided cases that catch on every sleeve. Luxury is a movement shaved to the millimeter, a case that disappears under a cuff. It is restraint as a statement, proof that less can be more.
IWC Portugieser is the dress watch that looks like a Portuguese ship's chronometer, and it is gorgeous. Forget complications. Luxury is a clean dial, a slim case, a hand-wound movement. It is the watch that made IWC famous, and it still is.
