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:
