    Wow! Mr Klaus is turning 90! Congratulations Mr Klaus and thank you for all the wonderful support and great times you spent with us collectors over the years. Hard to believe I met you when you were in your 60s back at the first collector's meeting in Schaffhausen in 2002. You are a true guiding force of IWC's heritage and innovation!! Congratulations on this special birthday.

    all the best to my friend Kurt Klaus!

    Happy birthday, dear Mr. Klaus. I feel very honored and privileged that I've had the joy of meeting you. You are a living legend and a very important person in the history of IWC and also very nice, humble and friendly. I'm wishing you all the best, many happy moments and most important a good health.

    Here two pictures which are very special to me: Watchmaking class with the GOAT:

    And a wristshot with the legend from Schaffhausen:

    Happy 90th Birthday, Herr Klaus. You have been an inspiration to me and all the collectors.

    Mark L stated is so well in his birtheday greeting in this post: "During the many Collectors Meetings over the years he has never failed to pass on to us his horological genius and share with us his passion for IWC and its legacy."

    Memories over time at SIHH and Collectors' Meetings in SH.

    Happy birthday Herr Klaus! It's an honour to have met you a few times. Unfortunately I have no picture of you but I'm quite a fan of the Perpetual Calender you invented so many years ago:

    I wish you many happy returns and hope to see you again at the next IWC Collectors Forum Meeting!

    Kind regards,
