    Here's a special contribution by Bruno Coppé. He brought his 1944 vintage IWC Portuguese watch (also called an Ur-Portugieser) back to Lisbon and retraces where the watch must have been first sold.

    I think you'll find it a very charming story --many thanks and compliments to Bruno for a great contribution!

    Enjoy,
    Michael

    a wonderfully narrated journey.......

    and as often is the case, the journey is more important than the destination.

    Despite the open ending...

    it is still a fine story. Somehow I believe part two will bear more fruit.
    Thanks for making this available.

    A story with a happy beginning and a happy end...

    You start with a vintage Portugieser, and you end with a wintage Portugieser, everything in between is fun.
    Thanks for the report, enjoyed it.
