    At the Collectors' Meeting, IWC announced its intention to significantly invest in the development of the IWC Forum and its collectors' activities. Consistent with that, Tonny Berteloot was appointed to become officially involved with the Forum and the collectors' community regarding the future planning and execution of the work together with me. Tonny's responsibilities will grow over time.

    Through SIHH 2016, it is intended that I will continue as moderator of the Forum. Tonny's involvement will allow me to engage in other activities for IWC, including writing articles and other matters. I fully intend to continue to contribute also after SIHH 2016.

    Tonny is based in Belgium and has been an avid collector of IWC watches since 2002 with his first piece being a Porsche Design Automatic, ref 3520. Tonny has contributed greatly to the global IWC forum, even helping out as co-moderator when I had the great fortune to go on holiday to a faraway island with no internet connection.

    Please join us in welcoming and supporting Tonny in his new role.

    Wow Tonny, great news coming out of the collector's meeting. I am very happy for you and for the continuing succes of the IWC Collectors' Forum. I will be in your neck of the European woods in December. Maybe you can help me Moderate my Belgian beer consumption, but I don't know why I would.

    Congratulations.

    I certainly hope so. Perhaps we can persuade these important European collectors as well as some of our Asian brethren to return to the fold. They have been sorely missed and would immediately add greatly to our Forum experience.

    Tonny, no tests at first. If you do, we need a teacher's guide so we can archive the answers. LOL.
