Santoni straps exclusively made for the new IWC Portofino family

A special patina and the wonderful gradation
of colours are the hallmarks of leather goods
from Santoni

In 2011, the year of the Portofino, fans of this watch family can look forward to two revised and two newly developed watch models. The Portofino Dual Time fits perfectly into an increasingly globalized world; and with the IWC-manufactured 59210-calibre movement featured in the Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days, this traditional watch family impressively scales the Mount Olympus of Haute Horlogerie. 


Both watches feature fine alligator leather straps from the world-renowned shoe manufacturer Santoni. Elaborately finished by hand, every strap from Santoni comes with an exclusive patina-like shimmer, with its own individual nuances of colour. 


The stainless-steel versions of the Portofino Automatic and Chronograph are likewise available with a Milanese mesh bracelet in stainless steel in the elegant style of the 1960s. Milanese mesh bracelets made of finely interwoven metal links combine the stability of a metal bracelet with the flexibility and comfort of a leather strap.

The double side buckle is the special feature of the derby model. This is one of the classics from the House of Santoni
