  • Page 5 You are now the owner of a beautiful new example of this IWC tradition. We would like to congratulate you on your choice and send you our best wishes for the time you will spend with your watch, which perhaps cannot be described with any greater accu- racy than it is here.
  • Page 6 The technical refinements of the Portuguese Minute Repeater Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and seconds, and the striking mechanism chimes out the time in hours, quarters and minutes. The mechanical movement, visible through the case back, has 52 jewels (synthetic rubies) and a power reserve of approximately 46 hours when fully wound.

  • Page 8 Functions of the crown 0 Normal position 1 Time setting Normal position With the crown in the normal position (0), you can wind the watch by turn- ing the crown clockwise. Always wind the watch fully, to the point at which you feel a distinct resistance in the crown.
  • Page 9 6 | 7 Time setting Pull out the crown to position 1. With the crown in this position, you can now set the time. You must push back the crown to position 0 before wearing the watch. Please note: If you need to move the hands backwards (e.g. at the end of Daylight Saving Time, if the movement is running fast or when setting the time to a different time zone), you must first turn back the hands by about 30 minutes more than required, and only then set them to the correct time by turning them...
  • Page 10 Operating the minute repeater The repeating slide is operated as shown in the illustration. You must always fully depress the slide; otherwise, the re- peater will not be activated. This “all- or-nothing” principle ensures that the watch does not chime the time incor- rectly.
  • Page 11 For this reason, we recommend that you have your watch serviced approximately every five years. Please contact an authorised IWC Official Agent or send your watch directly to the IWC Customer Service Department in Schaffhausen. Effective from January 2009.
