IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days (Ref. 5101)

Word is that IWC will be making its longstanding and classcially-styled Portofino collection the star of the show for 2011, starting with this new IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days. The new Eight Days (a reference to its power reserve), is a beautiful looking watch, right down to the Portofino notation on the dial. The watch comes on a leather strap made by high-end Italian shoemaker Santoni which I think is a nice touch, too! The version you see here is a steel case/silver dial. Also comes in steel case/black dial and a red gold case with slate-colored dial.

There will also be a Portofino Dual Time model (Ref. 3610), which should be exciting as well. Also, the Portofino Automatic (Ref. 3565) and Chronograph (Ref. 3910) will get a few tweaks, including being available on a Milanese mesh bracelets.

Despite the lavish surroundings, they want an intimate wedding with less than 150 guests. Kayte has laid out all the details, all the timings. The room will be decorated all in white, including a white cake. There will be a very tight guest list, and they wont allow cameras in. Theyre flying a lot of Kaytes family members in from England and putting them all up at The Plaza. Sounds like a tightly run luxury ship!
