Hi All
I am new to this forum and I admire the spirit of community and sharing
evident in the posts on the forum. I got my first IWC in 2021 after years of
admiring from a distance. I'm sorry I didn't venture into the world of IWC
earlier. I went for the new Portugieser model with the silver dial and blue
numerals and recently I went and got the bracelet for it (and still haven't
actually put it on the watch - there's no sense to this interest! ).
Since getting it, I've become more curious about the model and the range of
variants. I am trying to further explore the model history and information and
found a post from 2015 about a 164 page online book that was published by IWC
online. The original article ([www.hodinkee.com/articles/IWC- Portuguese-Book-
Available-Online](www.hodinkee.com/articles/IWC-
Portuguese-Book-Available-Online)) contained a hyperlink to the eBook which is
no longer active. I sent an email to IWC
(concierge.europe@iwc.com) and I was impressed by the speed of reply
and the commitment to try and locate a pdf version of the eBook. It's about a
month since the initial response to the email and I have not had a further
response. What I am hoping for is that someone on the forum here may have
access to the .pdf or be aware of how I might get access to it. I would
genuinely appreciate any such information or direction to other sources of
information relevant to someone with a curiosity to know more about the model
and a wish to build knowledge.
Kind regards
Sean
