    For us, it is always interesting to get to know the new collectors in our group, so please introduce yourself, you can disclose as much infiormation as you want, or not. As a help, I have a few questions for you :

    1. Where are you from ( country/state ) ?

    2. How did you become a collector of IWC watches ? What was the key factor for you to buy an IWC ?

    3. Which IWC watch(es ) you have ?

    4. What is your next IWC ? Or your holy grail from IWC ?

    5. Are you interested to meet other collectors during a collectors meeting ?

    6. What is your profession and other hobbies ?

     

    Thank you,

    Tonny, moderator

    Hey all. 

    Let me start this.

     

    1. Where are you from ( country/state ) 

    • Germany

    2. How did you become a collector of IWC watches ? What was the key factor for you to buy an IWC ?

    • My former neighbour introduced me 2012 to IWC wearing a Big Ingenieur on a BBQ. Until then, I was absolutely not interested into wrist watches. He explained me mechanical movements, heritag and the Ingenieuring approach of IWC Schaffhausen. From this moment, I felt in love with this Brand.

    3. Which IWC watch(es ) you have ?

    • IWC Spitfire Chronograph IW387802 & Cal. 52 Lepine Pocketwatch.

    4. What is your next IWC ? Or your holy grail from IWC ?

    • IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar Edition Rodeo Drive (holy grail)

    5. Are you interested to meet other collectors during a collectors meeting ?

    • Absolutely

    6. What is your profession and other hobbies ?

    • Wine, Skiing and Hiking
