Portofino Chronograph 39 Edition “Laureus Sport For Good”

The Portofino Chronograph 39 Edition “Laureus Sport for Good” is the 16th special edition that IWC launches in collaboration with the Laureus Sport for Good foundation. Laureus Sport for Good operates in more than 50 countries and supports over 250 programmes around the world. These programmes employ sport to transform the lives of children and young people. They aim to promote social change and put an end to violence and discrimination. Limited to 1000 pieces, this chronograph features a stainless steel case in an easily wearable diameter of 39 millimetres. The dial in the typical Laureus blue contrasts with the rhodium-plated hands and appliques. The timepiece is fitted on a black calfskin strap. An engraving of the winning entry from the drawing competition that IWC organizes each year within all Laureus programmes figures on the case back. The drawing displays hands united together as equals and was created by 15-year-old Jatin Malhan. Jatin is the goalkeeper for the Youth Football Club Rurka Kalan in the Jalandhar district of Punjab, India. This programme empowers and inspires young people to drive change in their communities, promoting tolerance, community spirit and gender equality through sport and education.
