The design of the Portugieser, although not the name, was first introduced in the 1930s and was so named due to the supposed influence of a Portuguese retailer for IWC, thought to be Messrs. Rodrigues and Antonio Teixera. Surprisingly the first dispatch of the now well known Portuguese design did not make its way to Portugal until 1942, selling initially in Eastern Europe.
