====== IWC Portugieser Minute Repeater Squelette ====== {{wst>image_cr|IWC|Portugieser Minutenrepetition Squelette|IWC Portugieser Minute Repeater Squelette}} **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]]. **Reference:** * IW524101 ([[white gold]]), IW524102 ([[red gold]]) **Movement:** * Mecanical with [[manual winding]], IWC Calibre 95911, 18,000 A/h * 54 [[jewels]] * [[Breguet hairspring]] * 250 components * Power reserve 43 hours **Case:** * 18ct [[red gold]] / 18ct [[white gold]] * ø 42 mm, height 12.3 mm * [[Sapphire crystal]], [[domed]], [[antireflective]] **Functions:** * Hours, minutes * [[Minute repeater]] **Bracelet:** * Blue/brown crocodile leather strap, [[folding clasp]] in white/red gold **Limited edition:** * 2 x 50 pieces ===== Literature ===== *[[IWC-Uhren.
