PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR 42
WELCOME
Welcome to the small circle of individuals who, if we are to
be absolutely precise, demand slightly more of a watch than
absolute precision. Appreciation of a watch is more than mere
appreciation of the correct time. It is enthusiasm for an ingeni-
ous idea. For the interplay between precision and imagin-
ation. 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 every passing second, exert a fascination

with the great achievements of master craftsmanship: a fas-
cination 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 beau-
tiful new example of this IWC tradition. We would like to con-
gratulate 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
PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR 42
Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and
seconds, the moon phase, the day, the date, the month as
well as the leap year. The mechanical movement with auto-
matic winding has apower reserve of approximately 60 hours
when fully wound. Your Portugieser Perpetual Calendar42 is
protected by a convex sapphire glass of hardness grade 9
on Mohs’ scale. Your watch is water-resistant to 3 bar. The
engraved rotor winds the watch in both directions of rotation
via the Pellaton winding system. In addition to the unique-
ness of its functions, it is the display’s legibility and the ease

with which it can be used that distinguishes this watch from
all other complicated timepieces. To ensure that this extra-
ordinary watch continues to perform faultlessly in the future, it
is essential to observe a few important operating instructions.

NORMAL POSITION
With the crown in the normal position (0), you can also wind
the automatic movement by hand. A few revolutions of the
crown in an anticlockwise direction are enough to start the
movement. However, it is better to wind the watch by turning
the crown through approximately 20 revolutions as this will

ensure maximum accuracy. The crown must always be in
position 0 when you are wearing your watch.
SETTING THE TIME AND CALENDAR
If you have not worn your watch for more than 60 hours the
watch will normally stop at midnight, as the changeover of
the calendar uses a great deal of energy.
Warning:
If your watch has stopped between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.,
you should on no account alter the date using the rapid-
advance date display with the crown in position 1. This

would result in damage to a component in the calendar mech-
anism which would require repair by a watchmaker. The same
applies to turning the crown too rapidly when setting the cal-
endar.
We recommend winding the movement at least 20 times with
the crown in position 0. Then pull the crown out to position
2 in order to set the hour and minute hands to approximately
6 a.m. To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to
stop the movement as the small seconds hand passes 60.
Push back the crown to position 1. In this position, you can
safely set the date to the previous day. If you now pull the
crown out to position 2, you can set the exact time in hours
