IWC Portugal Series "Lawrence Sports Charity Foundation" Special Edition IW515301 Single Button Chronograph

 This is the 14th special edition watch created by IWC for the "Lawrence Sports Charity Foundation"-a charity that uses the power of sports to help children and young people fight against unfavorable factors such as violence, discrimination and social exclusion in life Up. In terms of style, this is also an unprecedented version in the Portuguese series. So next, let us take a closer look at this brand new IWC Portugal series "Lawrence Sports Foundation" special edition single button chronograph.

IWC’s Portugal is the most representative work of the brand. The watches in this series come in various forms. Generally speaking, they are automatically or manually wound watches equipped with functions such as three hands, tourbillon, perpetual calendar or split-second chronograph.replicas tag heuer The watch I’m going to talk about today is a manual-winding single-button chronograph. Watch friends who know IWC well can definitely recognize this movement, but at the same time they will also know that this movement has never been in this series. Appeared in. This model IW515301 uses the same movement as a work that was launched in 2015: the Portofino series IW5151-03 single-button chronograph. The latter is very mysterious, it is only available in precious metal models, and has now disappeared from the product catalog. Because of this, people are also very interested in this watch. Compared with the traditional automatic chronograph, it takes a few more steps in the mechanism, which we will introduce later.

Although the name is a bit long, this IW515301 watch is first of all a Portuguese series watch, which means that we will find all the classic elements in it. Its case is huge, with a diameter of 46mm, but this is the standard operation of the Portuguese series, and it has no teeth. Its bezel is almost equal to none, so the design combined with the diameter makes the sense of existence of this watch straight up. Its lugs are relatively short and curved, which provides a good wearing feel. The brand has processed the surface of the case through polishing and wire drawing techniques to create a refined texture. Among all the external elements, the most conspicuous is the crown, which is used for winding and function settings, as well as for starting and stopping timing functions.

Like all the themed watches of the Lawrence Foundation, this Portuguese single-button chronograph also has a blue dial decorated with sun patterns. In addition, the iconic Arabic numeral hour markers and leaf-shaped hands and other elements are also readily available. Both are rhodium-plated, forming a very sharp contrast with the dial. Thanks to the size of the case and movement, the layout of the dial is clearly displayed and proportioned: the small seconds at 6 o'clock, the 60-minute counter at 12 o'clock, the calendar window at 3 o'clock, and the counter at 9 o'clock. A very practical power reserve indicator module for this movement.

Turning the watch around, what you see is no longer the familiar sapphire transparent case back, but the closed case back engraved with the winning design of the IWC & Lawrence Foundation Project Children’s Annual Drawing Competition. This year's painting competition takes "Time to Care" as the theme. A 15-year-old girl from China, Lv Yixin, won the award for her beautiful painting depicting friendship. She is also a participant in the "Special Olympics in China" project.

Although the movement was hidden, its special breath still spread from the gap. The model of the movement is Cal.59360, which is polished on the basis of the well-known 8th dynamic storage Cal.592xx core series. IWC has used it very few times and only appeared in the Portofino series.

On top of this movement that can provide a 192-hour power reserve, IWC placed a slim chronograph function module,comprar relojes replicas which contains a huge column wheel and a clearly visible lever gear system. The highlight of this movement is the "single button" architecture, which means that only one button can start/stop/reset the timing function.

The new IWC Portugal series "Lawrence Sports Foundation" special edition single-button chronograph is matched with a black Santoni alligator leather strap with a stainless steel folding clasp. The watch is limited to 500 pieces and its price is CHF 17,000.

The IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Edition “75th Anniversary”

 Sometimes, I talk too fast and too much, especially when I’m holding an incredible timepiece in my hands. My problem is that when confronted with something stimulating, the words in my head effervesce and brim over like Champagne emanating from a bottle held aloft by a victorious motorsports champion. I struggle to contain my enthusiasm for horological matters. When I am excited, the alacrity of my speech gains momentum, adopting a staccato style and becoming barely decipherable as it reaches a crescendo. The passion I have for fine watchmaking is manifest with energetic speech and animated non-verbal behavior. Indeed, I would make a hapless poker player, such is this open disclosure of my inner thoughts. Part of my problem is that my brain tends to over-process thoughts, working faster than the mechanics of speech will allow. Ironically, this is the exact opposite to the norm, where people typically use “filler” words such as “um,” “so,” “like,” and “well” to fill the silenc...
