Servicing your Portuguese Minute Repeater 

Although the parts in this watch are all manufactured from top-quality 

materials, a number of components are subject to natural wear and tear. It 

is particularly important to ensure that the points at which wear occurs are

always well-lubricated and that oil contaminated by metal abrasion is 

regularly removed. 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.
Technical specifications subject to change.
