    I wonder why are the Portofino Dual Time watches missing from the collection?

    Am I missing something?

    Hmmm, nothing official has been announced. It could be pulled, or it could be delayed. Personally I hope its the latter: see here, for example.

    Thank you Kelvin for the prompt reply.

    I must say, I have mixed feelings about this. First, I feel sad to learn that we will not see the watch - at least not soon :-/ I was really hoping to get one to be my travel companion along with my trusty Spitfire Chronograph :-(

    However, I do applaud IWC: the decision must have been a hard one, but an estimable one! Again it shows how honorable the IWC brand really is, and that is one more thing to remind us why we love to wear their watches :-)

    I guess waiting for perfection is a virtue. As we await the watch to be released, maybe I should acquire another timepiece for the time being, no :-/

    Sincerely,
    -Ala'a
