    Nice. Not really sure of the need for a chronograph on a Portofino but I like it. Monopusher is a nice clean look.

    A very interesting new watch: the monopusher, combined with the two subdial dial lay-out, makes for a very dressy chronograph, fitting the Portofino family nicely. I wonder whether there also will be one or more versions with a steel case. I hope to see the official announcement here soon.

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    ahhh... nice. This is really long due. Too bad there isn't a stainless steel version of it yet.

    Am I correct- it is 45mm?

    What is the price point?

    Interesting watch.

    Mono pushers have a long tradition and were used for military watches.

    Just a view to those old movements.

    Now THAT's what I call beautiful. Not like the boring casebacks we see nowadays.

    That movement on a 43mm Portugieser case would be a winner in my book.

    Very nice watch indeed and I really like the monopusher version.

    Stainless steel model with an ardoise dial would be a nice addition to the family too.

    Cheers Chris

    Very nice pictures! Thanks for sharing, especially the PW with the monopusher is a stunner.
    Would be nice to see the front side of those watches...;-)

    Cheers Chris

    Ok Chris, here it is.

    And it is a Richemont brand since some years :-)

    BTW, the PW has still its old Radium dial and hands.

    Dear Michael,

    Thenky for showing us the picture, The watch looks (on the digitally generated picture) very promising.
    Will be interesting to touch it in real.

    I quite like the Monopusher.

    I particular like to see its display back revealing the column wheel. It was fun to play with the monopusher while staring at the column wheel.
