A selection of Portuguese movements

Four very different movements found in Portuguese watches. I love them all. I need the 8 day movement for my little collection.

Thanks for looking.

Nice! About the 8 days handwound, ref, 5102: the front side doesn't look badly either. By the way, when looking up the reference number at this site catalogue, I noticed the Portuguese Handwound, ref. 5454, is gone! Didn't read that before here.

Kind regards,
Paul

Ralph.

Wow. I never noticed your Minute Repeater before. Congratulations. Fantastic.

The 5454 should be eternal, the F.A. Jones movement!

Awesome. Great pics, love the detail. Very nice collection.

Cheers,

Very nice, Ralph.
That's one reason why we love IWC so much.

Gorgious collection of movements Rave, great pics and thanks for showing !

Beautiful, Rave!
What a great collection - nice to see the backsides at once.
Thx for sharing!

Please help me out here Rave, is the movement in the 2nd picture from a ref 5454 ? From the decoration it looks like a ref 5442 fa jones ? But the crown does not look onion shaped so i am confused.

These are terrific photos of some beautiful movements...thanks, Ralph!

Wow Ralph, that is quite something! Superb "little" collection and terrific images of those beautiful movements! I also was struck by the different regulators, initially by the regulateur and the repeater.

The watch is a 2005 limited edition Regulator, Cal 98240, hence the lack of an onion crown.

Wow, beautifull watch and new to me ! Thanks for the reply Rave.

It is so amazing how good the Portuguese looks in all these different dial variations, and which such beautiful movements . What a great watch !

Here's another. The VC Portofino, which I sold because of the crown. A beautiful watch in every respect.

Very nice too, i like the moon phase on this watch. Thanks again Rave !

Amazing collection of piece by piece handsome watches.

..and I happen to know that the Mrs. also sports a "mini Portuguese" a equally beautiful Ref. 3531!

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent...demonstrates again that Portuguese watches are IWC at its best...
Also shows why it's such a great thing to have the movement visible...something that I personally almost cannot give up on when I get a new watch.
Congratulations Ralph..the MR is really outstanding!
cheers,

What is the watch for the last movement ( ie the last pic )?

Could it be the Portuguese Ref.5441-006?

Hi Ralph, compliments for the pictures and even more so for your collection. Well hidden gem the Minute Repeater ;-)
