Introduction

Hello to all. I just registered today and look forward to learning more about IWC timepieces.

By way of introduction, I’ll follow the moderator’s list of questions:

1. Where are you from ( country/state ) ? 
Northern Ontario, Canada.

2. How did you become a collector of IWC watches ? What was the key factor for you to buy an IWC ? 
I inherited an IWC wristwatch from my father many years ago. (I’ll provide more details about the watch in a separate post.)

3. Which IWC watch(es ) you have ?
I have an 18 k yellow gold cal. 8541, square case and gold bracelet.

4. What is your next IWC ? Or your holy grail from IWC ?
I’m very much a novice as far as watch knowledge so hopefully I’ll acquire enough information through this forum in order to make an informed decision on those points.

5. Are you interested to meet other collectors during a collectors meeting ?
It would depend on the meeting location.

6. What is your profession and other hobbies ?
I’m a retired lawyer. I enjoy scuba diving and skiing, as well as occasional flight simulation sessions.

That’s about it for now. I’ll post more details about my watch soon.

Welcome to The Forum, Jammer,

A very cool cal 8541 you have there. I believe our forum moderator, Tonny, may have that watch in steel. 

Hi Ben. I replied to your message in my other post.

Welcome to the Collectors' Forum.  More pictures please.  That will prompt some more replies.  

Welcome, Jammer! Great to have you here. Inheriting an IWC with that kind of history is really special, and a cal. 8541 in 18k gold is a wonderful piece to start with. Can’t wait to see the photos and details when you share them. With your mix of hobbies and background, you’ll find plenty of good company here. Hope you enjoy being part of the community!

I just joined the forum (around 8 to 9 days ago) and I’m from Northern Ontario, Canada. I became an IWC collector because I inherited a watch from my father. I currently have an 18k yellow gold cal. 8541 with a square case and gold bracelet. I’m still learning and hope to make informed choices about my next IWC. I enjoy scuba diving, skiing, and flight simulation, and I’m open to attending collector meetings depending on the location.
