Story & Heritage Founded in 1868 by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, International Watch Company established a distinctive identity by combining American industrial innovation with traditional Swiss watchmaking expertise. Over more than 150 years, IWC has become one of the most respected names in luxury horology, celebrated for its technical precision, timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship. The Portofino collection, introduced in 1984, takes its inspiration from the relaxed elegance and refined lifestyle of the Italian Riviera. Named after the picturesque coastal village of Portofino, the collection reflects an aesthetic philosophy centred on simplicity, harmony and understated sophistication. Unlike watches designed around complex complications or bold visual statements, the Portofino design language celebrates the beauty of essential forms. This vintage IWC captures that spirit through its minimalist white dial, slender hands, refined stainless steel case and beautifully balanced proportions. The absence of unnecessary decorative elements gives the watch an enduring aesthetic, allowing it to remain elegant regardless of changing fashion trends. Its Swiss quartz movement also reflects an important chapter in modern watchmaking, when established luxury manufacturers embraced electronic precision while maintaining their traditional standards of design and finishing. The result is a timepiece that brings together Swiss heritage, practical reliability and timeless sophistication. An elegant vintage IWC Schaffhausen for collectors who appreciate refined minimalism, traditional Swiss luxury and the enduring appeal of classic watchmaking. Internal Reference Number - BGT-124
