As the saying goes: Time waits for no-one. And who would understand this better than a woman who strives to carve out the perfect work-life balance from the hectic pace of modern life. It’s a measurable luxury that slips away like a thief in the night if you’re not careful—a fact that renowned Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen knows only too well, as its covetable Portofino 37 collection for women attests. Exuding an easy elegance befitting the idyllic Italian Riviera village of its name, the Portofino 37 timepieces are perfect companions for women on the go. Their clean looks make them versatile style accoutrements that pair beautifully with any outfit, while an easy-to-read dial allows its wearer to keep to her busy schedule with a quick glance. Offering an expert balance of looks and functionality, the watches provide women with a timepiece that they can strap on and not have to worry about for the rest of the day. The IWC Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37 (shown here) is a good example of this. It’s set with a staggering 174 diamonds scattered all around the dial, bezel, even the lugs. Unlike the earlier versions, the dial is entirely of black lacquer with the Moon Phase at its 12 o’clock marker as if set on a night sky studded with diamond stars. Merging the romance of travel with the brand’s 148-year history and the decadence of the time, the Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37 is sheer poetry on a woman’s slender wrist, making the most elegant statement. It is for a woman of our times because she is strong, resolute and discerning.
