In my many years of working with Revolution, I've never seen a watch more deserving of this award than the URWERK IWC Portofino Replica. It sets and regulates a manual watch according to a paired atomic time. The URWERK IWC Portofino Replica is both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition. While this could be said of many watches, URWERK IWC Portofino Replica achieves both feats in an unprecedented way. This statement is not hyperbolic. The Replica Watches's Sympathique clock is a link to Abraham-Louis Breguet, the 18th century horological innovator who was the grandfather of all innovations. The IWC Portofino Replica's pairing of atomic clock and mechanical watches is so advanced that it can only be seen through a telescope.
This is achieved by combining traditional watchmaking techniques - such as the use eccentric cams, toothed racks for transmitting variable data - with the regulator that was used to create the first URWERK EMC timepieces. The IWC Portofino Replica's ability to reconcile a mechanical watch reading with the ultra-precise measurement of anatomic clock, is enough to keep the RevolutionaryWatch category off the market for the next decade until the rest of the industry catchesup.
Last but not least, the IWC Portofino Replica is a truly innovative piece of watchmaking. But is it revolutionary? Is it really going to revolutionize horology, or in other words will it change the face? It won't.Patek Philippe Nautilus Replica That is the short answer. The technology of the watch could, like Abraham-Louis Breguet's most famous inventions, solve mechanical watchmaking's inherent lack in precision.
There is no doubt about the winner of this category. The URWERK IWC Portofino Replica has won the ultimate prize.
