Original Listing Description

eBay IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser 75 Year Anniversary Table Clock - Table Clock Portugieser # IWIWA 70934I have never seen another one of these before so i know this is pretty rare and pretty special. This clock was produced to celebrate the 75 year anniversary of the original IWC Portugieser model per the stamped caseback. This desk clock is 3 pieces; the front glass 1/2 sphere, the clock part (which is basically just a flat disc that holds the clock and face and looks like a pocket watch without a crystal) and the back of the clock which is another 1/2 sphere with a flat spot where the clock rests on a table.This clock is gorgeous, the polished burlwood ring around the clock (which is where the 2 pieces meet and screw together) gives this clock a hand-made artisan heirloom quality, look and feel. I don't believe this clock was ever made available for retail purchase, rather it was presented as a special gift to VIP customers and Ambassadors of the IWC Brand. This clock is a reproduction of an original antique glass ball clock which were popular in the early 1900's because they served multi purposes as paper weight, practical clock and object d'art.This item is brand new, never used or displayed and in original IWC packaging as pictured. It has never spent any considerable time outside of its protective box set.For the uninitiated, this is a Ball-style desk or table clock. There is a flat spot in the back of the case so that the clock sits flat on a desk or shelf. The ball is made up of 2 pieces which unscrew from one another. One side is the base and the other is the clock with the battery operated movement and the face of the clock which is encased in what is essentially the middle of the glass ball. When screwed together they form a perfect ball clock with the flat spot on the back always lining up perfectly so the clock sits up straight. And the clock is viewable through the glass ball.Comes in original IWC packaging including Outer Sleeve with sticker (Table Clock Portugieser # IWIWA 70934), inner presentation box is generously padded and foam laser but to protect and store the clock Sits on Desk at Slight Angle showing face of ClockDomed Glass and rich burlwood wood inlay gives unique and luxurious appearanceWhen the back side is removed, 75th engraving is shown (see photos)The crown is engraved with the precious "Probus Scafusia"Swiss Made (just like the watches)About 65mm in DiameterQuartz (battery operated) movement with gold-toned indices and hands - time and date indications Bonus: Your purchase of this item will include a Custom Phone Wallet.
