Not even for the magnificent Portuguese Automatic, with its 42.3 mm diameter case.
Because here, the largest automatic IWC movement available on the world market, the 5000 calibre, has been adapted for more slender wrists. Whilst retaining the classical appearance of the legendary original Portuguese first made in the 1930s, with appliqu Arabic numerals, railway-style minute chapter ring (so named because of the resemblance the double lines with their minute divisions bear to a rail track) and slim, swallow-style hands, it comes with all the finest features the company has to offer today: an exclusive IWC Pellaton winding system, classical small seconds hand and seven-day power reserve display. Together with other new and more advanced features such as the convex, coated sapphire glass, the two-piece case or the new back with its screw thread and sapphire glass, the Portuguese Automatic is the watch that would be developed in Schaffhausen if those two Portuguese businessmen were to drop in today with a request for an unusually large and precise wristwatch.
