    I am interested in a Portofino 8 day, please excuse my ignorance but is the movement made in house or bought in from another supplier?
    I would like something that is made completely by IWC but I may be being naïve thinking that their lower priced models are all made by them.

    Thanks

    Thanks Bill, I was unsure when I read the article as it could be that it was a bought in movement modified in house.
    I see by your number of discussions and comments that you will know the full details.
    Many Thanks
