About the Watch:

Making its debut in 1998, the IWC Portugieser Chrono-Automatic Ref 3714 is one of the most recognizable and popular of the Portuguese models.

The History:

Founded in 1868 by an American watchmaking pioneer, Florentine Ariosto Jones, the International Watch Company launched in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Nestled on the banks of the Rhine River, IWC’s factory began its pursuit of manufacturing watches of the highest quality, utilizing modern technology, as well as some of Switzerland’s most talented watchmakers.
