WHAT'S IN A NAME?

The Portuguese pays tribute to two watch dealers from Lisbon: Messrs Rodrigues and Teixera. The resulting watch would be huge, almost unheard of in size at 42mm in diameter. Apparently the fashion in Portugal at the time was for men to wear watches in this dimension.

A RARE BEAUTY

What’s the rarest reference 5441? That would be the 10 piece limited edition created in 2015 for Revolution Magazine’s 10th anniversary where today these reference 5441 watches represent some of the most collectable early Portuguese watches from the modern era.

In an interview with Kurt Klaus at Revolution Magazine he explained, “The idea to bring back the Portuguese was initiated when a board member came to the manufacture with a beautiful vintage example on his wrist. We all gathered around to marvel at the watch and almost immediately we began to nod in agreement.”
