What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic

Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Portofino for its clean, classic dress watch aesthetic and refined dial details, with many finding the 40mm size perfect for smaller wrists and noting its ability to provide a spark of joy. Some owners admire the dial color in sunlight and the versatility offered by changing straps. One owner notes its modified Sellita SW300/ETA 29xx movement is reliable and accurate, and another reports excellent timekeeping, with IWC reportedly maintaining chronometer standards. However, some find the Portofino overpriced and less valuable compared to watches with in-house movements. One owner reported their watch stopped working immediately after being dropped and required a lengthy repair. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the IWC Schaffhausen Portofino highly for its classical sophistication and understated elegance.

Lorier Zephyr

Owners widely praise the Lorier Zephyr for its stunning guilloche-style dial, refined and perfectly sized unique case shape, and comfortable wearability. The Miyota 9 series movement is noted by owners as being a little noisy, with a rotor whirring audible on quick hand movements. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Zephyr highly for its distinctive dial and case design at the price.

From video reviewers

The watch's vintage aesthetic and value for money are praised. The bracelet's refinement and perceived rattle are noted as a drawback.
