IWC, one of the world's leading brands in the luxury watch segment, profits by the good fortune of the sign of the Dragon, a sign so loved in 2012 by the entire luxury industry. The latest IWC masterpiece of Haute Horlogerie at its finest is The Portuguese Automatic Edition Dragon Year with a dragon engraving on the rotor.
The strongly symbolic design of this timelessly elegant watch is paired with an outstanding movement that includes Pellaton winding, a 7-day power reserve and date display. But individuals hoping to secure one of these watches will need to be determined and have luck on their side: the Portuguese Automatic Edition Dragon Year in red gold is limited to 888 pieces worldwide.
At the end of June IWC announced the opening of a new IWC boutique in the Galaxy Macau. Macau is known as the "Asian Las Vegas" , where world class resorts, landmarks and architectures make it one of the world's premier luxury destinations.
