    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
