Portugieser
Do you desire a classic watch with an exquisitely arranged dial? Are you a lover of tradition and history and do you prefer watches sporting large cases? Are you open to horological complications? If the answer to all these questions is yes, then you should reach for a Portugieser, a range of timepieces which has been enjoying iconic status ever since the 1930s.
These watches are easily recognisable by their wonderfully characteristic Arab numerals, incredibly slim feuille hands and the hallmark chapter ring alongside the bezel – a décor reminiscent of sleepers known as “chemin-de-fer” which was once much favoured on pocket watches paying tribute to the railways of a by-gone era. The railway-track scale is divided into sixty sections enabling the minutes to be read at all times. The Portugieser collection can also boast timepieces with highly-prized complications, such as the model featuring a perpetual calendar.
