Better late than never - My recent visit to a couple of IWC Boutiques >>>

(Please see all the "replies" for the complete post, thx)

A few weeks ago, my wife and I were on my birthday Europe holiday. It felt
like we ate and drink our way through the vacation!!!!!!

We started here:

Always love this hotel...............

A special surprise was waiting in my room :-)

First night's dinner:

I just wish the weather was nicer:

One of the best places to have the delicious filets de perche............

A perfect ending to a perfect dinner with friends!!!

What's a visit to GVA with a stop of the new Flagship in the city!!!!!

Some extra special touches for my birthday visit!!!

My wife and I enjoyed a special invitation to Le Chat-Botte, a very special
restaurant in the Beau Rivage:

With Michelin-starred chef Dominique Gauthier:

We had a spectacular few days the Chianti region of Tuscany:

Final destination, Roma!!!!!!

Gotta love the Black Truffles!

Early morning visit to the IWC Roma Boutique. Our hotel was right at the top
of the Spanish Steps and the Boutique is right at the bottom of the Steps!!!!!

The Boutique…….

I was warmly greeting by Valeria at the Boutique who took the time to show me
some great pieces,
"Grazie mille Valeria"!

By chance, we stumbled on this place in an out-of-way Piazza and spent a few
leisurely hours there!!!!

After all those watches it was time to visit one of the best cafes in Roma,
but not before a blessing from Pope Francis.............

.....next to the Pantheon:

Thanks for looking and hope you enjoyed the tour, oooops, I mean I hope you
enjoyed the post!!!!!! ;-)

Absolutely stunning Nad

the watches are stupendous and the food delicious. Thanks for the journey.

Nad!!!!!!

I love your travelogues, but this one especially - Geneva, Toscana, Roma; some
of my favourite places! I'm planning something similar and these have already
made the list.

It looks to me like the ideal way to celebrate your birthday. Perfect company,
wonderful destinations, exquisite food, and some visits to local IWC
boutiques. What more could one want?

Thanks for sharing and happy birthday once again!

What an absolutely fabulous way to spend your birthday!!

Great food, great watches, and a great woman to experience it all with you.

Thanks for letting us join in on the celebration.

I should never, never read one of your posts before dinner...sumptuous
cuisine! The watches were also spectacular...another excellent "Nad
Travelogue!"

Amazing report, thank you Nad for sharing and taking the time to pay all these
fantastic photos! I am so glad the 15 photos every 24 hours restrictions have
been lifted:)

Great report NAD

I love your travelogues, but this one especially

Geneva, Toscana, Roma (!) what a nice way to spend your time.

Seeing the boutiques almost all identical (same here in Holland at Schiphol
and Amsterdam) is great to show IWC-corporate exposure.

keep them reports coming NAD (saves me the trip(s))

cheers

Wow Nad, what a wonderful travelogue! Your food shots are mounth wathering and
your watch shots make me drool all over them! Thanks so much for taking the
time to create this report and sharing it here with us.

Kind regards,
