PORTOFINO HAND-WOUND TOURBILLON RÉTROGRADE

Welcome to the small
circle of individuals who, if we are to
be absolutely precise, demand slightly
more of a watch than absolute preci-
sion. Appreciation of a watch is more
than mere appreciation of the correct
time. It is enthusiasm for an ingenious
idea. For the interplay between preci-
sion and imagination. Between time
and timelessness. Between boundaries
and infinity. Between laws to which
the entire world is subject, and taste,
which cannot be dictated to anyone.
That is why, since 1868, we have been
devoting rather more of our time to
watches that must not only run with
absolute precision but which also, with

PORTOFINO HAND-WOUND TOURBILLON RÉTROGRADE

every passing second, exert a fascin-
ation with the great achievements of
master craftsmanship: a fascination
with new inventions of a technical,
material or formal nature, even if they
are concealed in minute details that are
perhaps not even visible. You are now
the owner of a beautiful new example
of this IWC tradition. We would like to
congratulate you on your choice and
send you our best wishes for the time
you will spend with your watch, which
perhaps cannot be described with any
greater accuracy than it is here.

THE TECHNICAL
REFINEMENTS OF THE
PORTOFINO HAND-WOUND
TOURBILLON RÉTROGRADE
Your IWC watch shows you the time in
hours and minutes, the retrograde date
as well as the power reserve. The mech-
anical movement has a power reserve
of approximately 8 days (192 hours)
when fully wound. Your Portofino
Hand-Wound Tourbillon Rétrograde is
protected by an arched-edge sapphire
glass of hardness grade 9 on Mohs’
scale. Your watch is water-resistant
3 bar. Your watch is also equipped with
a flying hacking minute tourbillon. The
hacking tourbillon has two spring arms

that enable timing with down-to-the
second accuracy. The tourbillon, an
invention made in the aftermath of the
French Revolution, has always been
regarded as the ultimate challenge
in the quest for absolute mechanical
watchmaking precision. More specific
ally, the purpose of the mechanism is
to counterbalance the one-sided pull
of the earth’s gravity on the balance.
This is because the residual gravita-
tional error of the balance influences
the accuracy, depending on the pos-
ition of the watch. Fortunately, there
is a way to overcome this problem
caused by one of the basic laws of
physics: the balance, the pallets and
the escape wheel are mounted in

PORTOFINO HAND-WOUND TOURBILLON RÉTROGRADE

a minute cage that rotates around
itself once every minute. In this way,
the effect of the gravitational error is
practically eliminated. To ensure that
this extraordinary watch continues to
perform faultlessly in the future, it is
essential to observe a few important
operating instructions.

THE FUNCTIONS
OF THE CROWN

1 — Date setting

NORMAL POSITION
With the crown in the normal position
(0), you can wind the watch by turning
the crown clockwise. Always wind the
watch fully, to the point at which you
feel a distinct resistance in the crown.

Your watch has a power reserve of
approximately 8 days (192 hours).
DATE SETTING
The date indicator is retrograde,
meaning that at the end of the 31st
day, the hand jumps back to the first
day. If a month has fewer than 31 days,
you will need to set the date manually
to the first day of the following month.
Pull out the crown to position 1. You
can now set the date by turning the
crown to the right (direct advance). You
should not use the rapid-adjustment
function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.
because the movement automatically
advances the date during this period.

TIME SETTING
Pull out the crown to position 2. With
the crown in this position, you can set
the time by turning the crown. You
must push in the crown to position
0 before wearing the watch. When
setting the time, please be aware of
the date change, which always takes
place at 12 midnight. If this change
has already taken place at 12 noon,
you must move the hands forward by
12 hours.

POWER RESERVE DISPLAY
The power reserve display is divided
into 8 days with continuous display.
The marking in the area of the last
2 days tells you that the power reserve
is about to expire. You should then
wind the watch, since the precision
can be reduced in this area. If the
watch is not wound in time, the two
spring arms of the hacking tourbillon
will stop after exactly 8 days.

INFORMATION ABOUT
MAGNETIC FIELDS
As a result of the ever greater preva-
lence in recent years of very strong
magnets made from rare-earth alloys
(e.g. neodymiumironboron) –these are
found in objects such as loudspeakers,
mobile phones and fasteners on jewel-
lery as well as handbags– mechanical
watches are increasingly likely to come
into contact with such magnets and
become magnetized. This can lead
to the watch rate being permanently
affected, a problem that can only be
resolved by a process of demagnet-
ization carried out by a specialist. We
recommend that you keep your watch
away from such magnets.

PORTOFINO HAND-WOUND TOURBILLON RÉTROGRADE
— 16 —
Watches with a soft-iron inner case
provide a higher level of protection
against magnetic fields and far exceed
the requirements of DIN standard 8309.
Nevertheless, it is still possible for the
watch movement to become magnet-
ized in close proximity to very strong
magnets. We therefore recommend
that watches with a soft-iron inner case
also be kept away from direct contact
with strong magnets.
Should there be a sudden change in
the precision of your timepiece, please
contact an authorized IWC Official
Agent to have your watch checked for
magnetism.

WATER-RESISTANCE
The water-resistance of IWC watches is
stated in bar and not in metres. Metres,
which are often used elsewhere in the
watch industry to indicate water-resist-
ance, cannot be equated with dive
depth because of the test procedures
that are frequently used. Water-resist-
ance shown in metres provides no indi-
cation as to actual use of the watch in
the presence of moisture and wetness,
and in or under water. Recommenda-
tions for use in connection with the
water-resistance of your watch can be
found on the Internet at www.iwc.com/
water-resistance. Your authorized IWC
Official Agent will also be pleased to
provide you with information.

PORTOFINO HAND-WOUND TOURBILLON RÉTROGRADE

To ensure that your watch continues
to function perfectly, you should have
it checked by an IWC service centre at
least once a year. Your watch should
also be tested after exposure to
unusually harsh conditions. If the tests
are not carried out as stipulated, or if
the watch is opened by unauthorized
persons, IWC will accept no warranty
or liability claims.
Recommendation: Your authorized
IWC Official Agent must carry out a
water-resistance test whenever your
IWC watch is opened and serviced.

NOTE
If your watch has a strap made of
leather, textile or rubber with a leather
or textile inlay, make sure that the
high-quality strap does not come into
contact with water, oily substances,
solvents, cleaning agents or cosmetic
products. This way you can prevent
discoloration and premature ageing of
the material.

SERVICING YOUR
PORTOFINO HAND-WOUND
TOURBILLON RÉTROGRADE
Although the parts in this watch are
all manufactured from top-quality
materials, a number of components
are subject to natural wear and tear.
It is particularly important to ensure
that the points at which wear occurs
are always well lubricated and that oil
contaminated by metal abrasion is
regularly removed. For this reason, we
recommend that you have your watch
serviced approximately every five
years. Please contact an authorized
IWC Official Agent or send your watch
directly to the IWC Customer Service
Department in Schaffhausen.
