IWC Portugieser Chronograph In-House Movement IW3716 // Specs, Price
For many fans of the IWC Portugieser Chronograph, today's news is big news: not only is this iconic chronograph now equipped with an in-house calibre, you can finally see the movement through the transparent caseback. To be precise, this is not the first time this manufacture movement has appeared inside a Portugieser Chronograph. In 2018, calibre 69335 was used on board the special 150th-anniversary editions and revealed through a sapphire caseback. However, it was a limited edition and not intended for serial production. The other good news is that the design of the watch has not changed an iota. It is the same, well-loved Portugieser Chronograph, only now known as ref. IW3716.

What you see here is a watch that celebrates resilience and redemption. What you see here is a watch that feels familiar for a reason, but?that has been given a sense of artful dismissal by its creators and a well-known guest who’s all about twisting things. What you see here is the Wristcheck x Atelier Wen Perception ´«³Ð with Seconde/Seconde/, and it should not have existed. But it does.?Looking closely at this new edition of the Atelier Wen Perception, you are bound to recognise its Jade green dial colour, its integrated design and its highly intricate dial pattern. For the most part, this new take on the Chinese-inspired and partially made luxury sports watch i
