    Michael made a nice article about Hanno Burtscher, maybe his name does ring a bell with older collectors.
    Have fun reading it [here](www.iwc.com/en/hanno-burtscher-da-vinci-designer-renaissance-man/)
    Here are a few pics of the signed print I have.
    Kurt Klaus made it extra special.

    Hi Tonny, is there a way to purchase prints of his paintings? I'm very interested in a Portuguese print. Thanks.

    The prints are not available anymore, but from time to time one pops up at auction sites, where I found mine. Good luck.

    This is a picture taken during the first IWC collectors meeting in Schaffhausen, now 15 years ago :2002.
    Depicted are two grand old masters at an historical location : the fortress Munot.
    At that time Hanno Burtscher was already the curator of Munot.
    Besides him the legendary Kurt Klaus with his whippet dogs, Kurt Klaus' hobby that few collectors know off.
    Although Schaffhausen is flooded by thousands of watches, the exact time in town had to be announced by Hanno Burtcher, ringing the tower bell at Munot by hand, every evening at the same time 365 days per year.
    Kind regards,
    Adrian,

    Thanks Michael.
    Design is a job for one man, not for a committee. I wonder what it will take to bring Hanno Burtsher back.
