**Portugieser Minute Repeater Squelette** is a luxury watch by [[IWC]].

In [[2004]] this complicated watch artwork was launched by [[IWC]] as part of the [[Portugieser]] ("Portuguese") series a watch with an open dial through which a [[skeletonized]] mechanical movement with [[minute repeater]] can be admired. In order to increase the desired effect of complete transparency, the actual dial was not only minimized to a small scale ring on the edge of the case, but the repeater mechanism was also exposed as much as possible. The [[bridge]]s with their [[jewel]] bearings are reduced to the minimal functionally necessary framework. The watch case is optionally in [[red gold]] or in [[white gold]].
