The event featured an exhibition and a Hans Zimmer special.
IWC Schaffhausen hosted an event at the Museum of the Future in Dubai to present the new IWC Portugieser collection – including the Portugieser Eternal Calendar, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer’s first secular perpetual calendar with a moon phase accuracy of 45 million years.
The guests were welcomed with a video message from Academy Award-winning film score composer Hans Zimmer. Following the greeting, a live performance of “A Tribute to Eternity,” a composition by Hans Zimmer and physicist Professor Brian Cox that released globally on Spotify on May 24, was in order.
The theme of the function was “A Tribute to Eternity,” and under it, IWC Schaffhausen unveiled its new Portugieser collection at Watches and Wonders in Geneva. On display at the Museum of the Future in Dubai were novelties such as the Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 44 and the Portugieser Automatic 42, both featuring a slimmer case construction and lacquered dials in new colours like Horizon Blue, Dune and Obsidian.
Another standout was the Portugieser Eternal Calendar. IWC’s first secular perpetual calendar that factors in the Gregorian calendar’s leap year exceptions by skipping three leap years over a time span of 400 years. It also features a moon phase display that will only deviate by one day in a staggering 45 million years.
