A big friend of the Collector's, an overall great guy, Hannes Pantli turns 80
today. Best wishes from the forum, enjoy the day and keep us listening to the
fantastic stories you have of IWC and your career at IWC.
And a picture from the first page of the Watch International December 1991
Wishing Hannes who has worked more than half his life at our most favourite of
Watch companies, many happy and healthy returns.
Without his great Sales ability and endevours, especially through the
challenging period of the quartz crisis - IWC probably would not havesurvived.
I look forward to seeing in one his usual top form, at Watch & Wonders in the
near future.
Happy Birthday Hannes, I hope you are celebrating well. I look forward to
meeting again soon - can't imagine what magnificent pocketwatch will be
attached to your chain!
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays Hannes - may this day and the years
ahead be filled with laughter, good food, and time spent in the company of
loved ones!
Btw, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your recollections on the "It's
Complicated" podcast and hope for a return episode!
Happy birthday Mr Pantli and many happy returns. Have a wonderful day!
We have briefly met at a few collectors meetings but I don't think I have a
photo together with you. Maybe next time?
Kind regards,
Clemens

A very Happy Birthday, Herr Pantli, from another 80 year old. Enjoy your day
and thanks for the many happy times with our collectors group. You are an
inspiration to us and in many respects the reason IWC is still thriving in
2022. WIthout your leadership the quartz revolution could have seen the
demise of IWC.
