Thanks Adrian, thinking all of us IWC fans appreciate the through descriptions of the movements and case without having to travel to an IWC AD. Mine is 1.5 hours away so learning from you is a nice treat!
How can you say “clearly” when you’re wrong? 🤡 And how can you say “favourable”, that’s implying you know my thoughts better than me? So odd. You get a double 🤡🤡
@@cdm765If Mr.Adrian were paid for this review then Why would he say negative things about the watch ? Sometimes just take a second and think before typing comments !
IWC are one of the best Swiss watch brands. Their customer service is unmatched in the industry and their watches are top notch quality. Just walk into one of their boutiques. They’re just slightly too big for my taste but besides that, all praises towards IWC are warranted. This is truly one of the top 2 or 3 best watch enthusiasts watch brand.
Recently saw these in person and side by side with previous Portugugieser models- the improvements are subtle but significantly improve the aesthetic, especially the back crystal! The new dial colors are 🔥
I love IWC, but is this a paid review? Feels like it by the way you’re describing the cons. Can you let us know please Adrian? Were you paid for this review? Thanks in advance. Big fan of your work and love your b&j straps. 👌
nkuwan You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much
Is the seconds hand moving when hacking with crown pulled normal for watches at this price point? (3:36) I've noticed the portugieser 40mm doing the same when I checked it out in person. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of hacking for setting accurate time?
being too thin puts pressure on the engineering integrity of the case and movement. I am going to do a video on "thin watches"... 🤓 the non-screw down case back on the 7 day looks like an attempt to reduce size... umm... I need to see in the hand but I hope it is not a size thing or responding to fashion trend.
I don't find 13mm for an automatic chronograph thick. It's actually quite proportional to the 41mm case and appropriate. A Daytona for comparison is 12.3mm, which is fantastic, but other automatic chronographs are usually in the 15mm height range.
Hi Adrian, it would be really great if you could have slightly longer wrist shots in your videos and about 6 inches or so back from your current camera zoom level... this gives us viewers a little more of an idea of what the watch looks like on the wrist (which lets be honest is the main thing we're interested in). Throughout the video, the wrist shots are only a few seconds in length before cutting away and I find myself skipping through or rewinding just to get a good look at the product! many thanks
Always surprising to see the number font on the sub dials NOT matching that of the main dial (see the number "'" and "4" for example). So much gushing over how every detail was attended to. Yet this, "nails on the chalkboard" error persists. Ugh!
Something tells me it’ll be more than fifty quid. Reminds me of that famous T E Lawrence Omega which, I suppose was also a pocket watch influenced piece?
Very nice looking watches, but I would much much prefer a thinner watch and a ~60 hour power reserve. With regard to the chronograph, I hope the new models have better pusher action than the old model. When I played around with the older model about a year ago I was shocked at how absolutely crappy the feel was when using the chronograph, especially for such an expensive watch.
3:35 I trink IWC has big problems with their movements; look at the seconds and the minutes hands when Adrian is pulling out the crown. They jump weirdly. My Mark XX does the same. IWC please fix that movement problems. For this price point definitely not accebtable.
Don’t know why anyone puts anti reflective coatings on outside. Seen so many that looks rubbish after a few years. Let’s put an almost un scratch-able crystal on a watch and then coat it in something that is easily scratched… weird.
Finally some talk about other brands, not the usual Rolex, Tudor and Omega.
Strange how much better it looks with the sub dial at 3&9 as opposed to 12&6 👌🏻

What an amazing outcome for a beautiful watch. Always a pleasure to see MAMACOO work your magic. Thanks for sharing this transformation with us!
That blue dial is stunning
IWC Should just hire Adrian as their chief marketing 😭😭😭
How can you say “clearly” when you’re wrong? 🤡
And how can you say “favourable”, that’s implying you know my thoughts better than me? So odd. You get a double 🤡🤡
Unfortunately he has a non compete clause in his Rolex employment agreement

But how does it look on a B&J nato?
You're on top of all my favorite releases this week. Great Portuguese models.

Keep it coming Adrian. All geeked & excited for Watches & Wonders.
That chrono is absolutely beautiful. My next watch purchase I think
That maroon dial Portugueser always melts my heart
Clean designs
I love the understated and classy look of these. Lovely.
Love IWC watches
Getting more excited by this that any IWC material i've ever seen. Great video!
42 Looks lovely, case back looks awesome filling the crystal!
Color matched date disc on the blue dial version somehow caught my eye more than it should 👍
Stunning collection.
Happy 300k subs Adrian!🎉
The black version of the 7 day is treating me well. I agree, it looks much nicer in person.
Cheers,
The 40 black and gold was my favorite release from this range

Clear and beautiful. Gorgeous. 😎
look very fine the new watches, thanks for the quick intro
Portugieser has always been a big watch. IWC needs to bring back the Kleine ("Small") Portugieser.
Recently tried on a new LONGINES Chrono. Drop dead gorgeous,.... but 17mm thick.
😮😮😮😮😮😮 dealbreaker.

It actually looks like a Patek.

lug to lug? Lug-to-Lug? LUG TO LUG?...

I’ve never understood a power indicator on an automatic watch. Make it manual and maybe 1 mm thinner.
Your very confused.
Adrian is like the Richard Hammond of watches. I just noticed this.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Any idea which watch Adrian is wearing? Not sure why it distracted me so much 😂
BB58 silver. 👍🏻
Great choice. Mine is on the way. Would love to see your ownership thoughts. Loved the video you already did.
The Yacht Club is one of my favorite watches, though I'm surprised they haven't revisited the OG yet. I'd bet that they're working on it though.
Long time fan of these, though the price always has me looking at other watches.
I'm late to the video as I just recently got interested in IWC. If you could review the Moon Phase from this range that would be awesome. Cheers!
Nice watches, good review 👍🏻
Gorgeous watches! Cannot afford it or, let's say, i cannot justify the price, so I've bought a tissot small seconds, as an alternative...
Wow !! Beautiful
Huge congrats on 300K!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Nothing against IWC, but I've not seen any of them that really grab my attention.
I miss the touch of red on the power reserve indicator.
Love iwc
Feck it ! I would wear that Portugieser upside down and check the time on my phone , that twin barrel movement looks the tits.
That cancelled element was almost a meme 😂
Have the red Chrono and went back to IWC factory for the red alligator band. Now it rocks and I luv it.
Something tells me it’ll be more than fifty quid. Reminds me of that famous T E Lawrence Omega which, I suppose was also a pocket watch influenced piece?
In two words: Massive Crystal
I have that IWC watch..how much the value..
Absolutely my favorite Longines Homage.
Homage? Lmao
🤣
How does this compare to the Unitas driven Stowa?
why don't you speak slower and show each model longer.
IWC in 38mm needed
I prefer their Big Pilot line.
TOP!
Congrats Adrian on 300k subs! Cheers 👍⌚☕
IWAc such an underrated brand. And such an amazing brand.
underrated??? trolling much?
When can we see the Portuguesier eternal calendar ?
Love that BB 925 on the wrist @adrian!
Just waiting for Adrian's video on the 2024 Rolex releases. Man, THEY WERE BAD.
I’ve recently tried on most of their collection. Beautiful movements, but the sizes and fit are consistently way off. I wish I could like them.
Very nice looking watches, but I would much much prefer a thinner watch and a ~60 hour power reserve. With regard to the chronograph, I hope the new models have better pusher action than the old model.

6:37 Not at 42mm it ain't!
It’s not 42mm
Nice new watch on your wrist! BB58 925? Is that your personal watch?
Excellent- thank you
Look out for the movie Anthony Zimmer where that watch is the motif
You have a 6.5cm wrist?
Came here looking for this comment, I assume he meant inches
It’s funny, I’ve worked in high end retail and as an event photographer in Miami for 7 years and have never seen a single person wearing an IWC watch.
Comment deleted? Was saying id love this in 39mm x 11mm thick... my Mark xvi with those dimensions is superb
Crystal clear 😂
Great review of a gorgeous watch, I look forward to seeing if I can actually afford one, fingers crossed
Lol, only 60 hours of power reserve... ok, 7 days is nuts and awesome just to think about
wish they updated the red dial
Locing the 42's.... Classy...
That Blue One, NICE! Are you wearing the new monochrome BB?
That's hot.
Too big and too expensive. What a shame. IWC overprices all their watches.
Maybe too big for you
Min 17cm wrist to pull it off
A bunch of bricks 🧱
3:35 I trink IWC has big problems with their movements; look at the seconds and the minutes hands when Adrian is pulling out the crown. They jump weirdly. My Mark XX does the same. IWC please fix that movement problems. For this price point definitely not accebtable.
They all look great to me, just sadly out of my price point
Have they improved the water resistance?
yes! water resistant for 7 days is now 5 bars instead of 3 bars
Don’t know why anyone puts anti reflective coatings on outside. Seen so many that looks rubbish after a few years. Let’s put an almost un scratch-able crystal on a watch and then coat it in something that is easily scratched… weird.
Same watch as before...
oooh....i have to say, I like the older style better.....#sad
Great review and beautiful watches. I really like the style, so elegant, just wish I could justify the expense.
Not keen
I do like IWC but just feel they should stay away from sub dials 😬
42 - the thickness and fussiness of a chrono without the functionality .. meh. The actual chrono looks great though.
Nice looking watches, but Richemont's pricing strategy for IWC is simply daft.
The best of Watches & Wonders 2024 is Zenith!
Too big.
Love the design, but to thick for my taste
Again, and again, too thick for such a watch.
Hmm, nothing special.. like the new Rolex releases. Nomos and H.Moser did a better job I think.
They are not exciting
New Rolex GMT is super exciting 😅🤣😂
au contraire - they are
And as per usual, too big. Its like everything they make is 42+...
au contraire - no
@@Adb07dit’s a historical reason we th the Portugueiser range
Too big…pity…looks daft on your wrist Adrian
