Another journey to SIHH 2016

Arriving in Switzerland:

A first meeting with a few fellow forum members, Mark and Bill, along with David Seyffer:

A look at the new collection:

I guess the Big Pilots really struck me; I ended up with wrist shots mostly with them:





The new Timezoner was very simple to use, quite a clever complication:

And of course I had to try on the big one:


An evening at the Gala:

Mark, Jarrod, Tom and Tonny at the IWC booth:

Just in time to catch a presentation by Christian Knoop:

(Tom and Mark in the front row, Jens-Kristian, Mark and Giovanni in the second row)

It must have been quite a feat to put this whole booth together, complete with an authentic Spitfire!

It was an absolutely fantastic time in Geneva, meeting up with such an amazing group of collectors who are able to come together and share in a unique passion:

Had to follow your lead there Jarrod:

Thank you to everyone at IWC who spent the time and put in such a terrific effort to be such gracious hosts to us all:

Overall the new pilots watch collection is a beautifully executed evolution of some truly great originals:

And off on my way home, hoping soon to return...

Nice one Ben, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for all the great wrist shots, always nice to see these in the reports.

I particularly like the BPP ANTOINE DE SAINT EXUPÉRY

I tried it on at the Collector's Forum in Oct 15' and will do so again when it's in the Boutiques. It's a real beauty!

Great report and pictures, Ben. It was a pleasure to meet you for the first time. The greatest thing about this forum, other than the expert advice and comments made about the watches, is the enduring friendships that are made and renewed here.

A very nice report with great pictures. Thank you, Ben!
Meeting you was a real pleasure and I hope there will be occasions to have more time for talking watches and sharing the passion.

Excellent Ben. Love it. Was great to meet you and spend those few extra days at the end doing watch stuff.

Thanks for your report and excellent photos, Ben. You got to experience the best of IWC...great watches and excellent people!

Great pictures and report from SIHH, Ben. Thank you for some good conversations. Hope to see you soon.
Jens-Kristian

Great report Ben!
It was a real pleasure to meet you and I really enjoyed the last few days in Geneva, running around, exploring restaurants and doing watch stuff. Stripy memorable experience.

really amazing walls , enjoyed it lots, and loved it ,
Thanks ,:)

wow that I'd only notice this awesome report just now.

Fantastic report and killer pictures!!! Really great Ben :) Thanks for sharing

Ben, another good report.

I know, that you were disappointed that I did not bring my Bronzo AT to Geneve and appologies for that... I just did not want to carry to many watches. against that, I enjoyed tremendously your superb VC AT!!! That's a seriously nice watch!

I look forward to our next meeting, and some great watch talk and friendship!
