Portugieser Minute Repeater
Ref. 5241


EUR 79.900,-

IWC Portugieser Minute Repeater Ref. 5241 — pure acoustic haute horlogerie. An exceptional statement within the Portugieser line: the Minute Repeater combines IWC’s clean, maritime-inspired design language with one of watchmaking’s most demanding complications. At the slide, the mechanism translates time into sound—hours on a deeper tone, quarter-hours on a double chime, and minutes on a higher tone—creating a moment that’s as emotional as it is technical. Housed in an elegantly proportioned case, the Ref. 5241 remains understated on the wrist, yet unmistakably special for collectors who appreciate true mechanical artistry beyond what you can see. Offered in condition like new, this Portugieser Minute Repeater is a rare opportunity to secure a highly sophisticated complication in a timeless, wearable format.

Portugieser Collection

In 1939, two portuguese dealers commissioned a series of large wristwatches with high precision pocket watch calibres. This was the birth of the Portuguese. What was then an unusual large watch is now a perfect match for fashion and can be worn both sporty and elegant.

International Watch Company

IWC

The succes story of IWC began in 1868 when the American engineer Florentine Aristo Jones settled in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. His business partner Johann Heinrich Moser had invented a system that enabled them to use the water power of the Rhine for industrial purposes. Together they started the mechanized production of Watches. In the following Year they already produced over 10.000 Watches for the US market and expanded selling internationally.

In the right time

Rocket Science

For a brief moment, I seriously considered starting this short article with a scientific treatise on the production of carbon fibers. However, given my rather limited abilities in the natural sciences during my school days, I immediately abandoned this idea and instead turned my attention to the things that move us all on a daily basis. Watches.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
