IWC’s gala event ‘A Night in Portofino’ at SIHH 2011

Below is a short video of  IWC’s gala event for the launching their revised 2011 Portofino watch line-up. The Portofino is the entry-level model to the exclusive world of IWC watches. Portofino watches have elegant classical design. The name Portofino was taken from a picturesque little fishing village located in the province of Genoa on the Italian Riviera. It is a timeless place and considered to be one of the most beautiful Mediterranean ports. This is something exemplified by IWC's Portofino line and their timeless classic designs.
