A truly fantastic show unfolded at Watches & Wonders 2023, and I was so very
fortunate, courtesy of Tonny and IWC, to witness some of the events firsthand.
Here is my "fototour" of the amazing watches, sights, scenes and the great
people that really make it all such a magical event...
A wonderful time to be in Geneva!
And catch up with old friends!

Ben, magnificnet pictures of an event I am sorry I was unable to attend. Not
only are the watches the center of attention at the show, but W&W is also a
special opporutnity to make new friends and have quality time with fellow
collectors we have met previously. It's the people that make this and other
Collector events speical. Thanks Tonny, and IWC for making this possible and
thanks Ben for giving me a vicarious tour of the week.
Thank you, Bill, and yes, the amazing people really make it special. You
certainly were missed, but your influence was still guiding my attempt to
capure the moment!
Morning crunch at Palexpo:
Lots of smiling
faces
And a tour of the booth
Great summary of a spectacular event
Still going, Mark;) Sharing the passion and getting some fantastic information
from IWC legends Dr Seyffer and Walter Volpers, thank you guys for your time,
it was greatly appreciated!!!
And the new fellows, too, thank you for spending time with us and getting to
know the collectors!
Dr. Lorenz Brunner as well - just amazing to have the oppurtunity to meet and
talk, really great to see you!
A little pink passion in several generations. You never know what you might
see at the IWC bar.
Another unforgettable evening. Thank you Hannes, Michael, Boss Man, Et al.
Next morning I was still waiting for my luggage to arrive, but it was still
another day in paradise.
And we are ready and eager to learn (and eat) more. Most of what was said in
the room, stayed in the room;)
Another great lunch with friends.
A moment at the famous IWC bar, anticipating touch and feel with the
novelties...
And... Sooo Sooo nice!
More to come...
What a show, what a watch, and what fantastic people!
Thank You IWC
