    This is a special watch. I was lucky enough to meet Kevin earlier this year in New York. Great man. We discussed his Da Vinci Laureus. I said to him if he ever sells, I would buy. The rest is history. It's a stunning watch and extra special for obvious reasons. I like to think because of my love for Da Vinci it has gone to a good home. Special thanks to Bill for delivering to Ghent.

    Da Vinci with an original Da Vinci.

    Cruising.

    I love this watch. It's an important part of my collection.

    Jarrod, I really like the story about your DV Laureus. No doubts that this very special beauty found the right home. I am really glad for you.
    Stunning pictures, really I am flashed about this blue dial.
    I look forward seeing you guys and this wonderful piece in the future.
    Safe travels...again ;-)

    Cheers Chris

    A special watch and a special story. I too am proud to own one of Kevin's watches. He is smiling on us as we honor his memory. I'm sure he is happy his friends now wear one of his beauties.

    Jarrod, this watch is so cool. I really appreciate it. But I'm not able to get another watch this year. And probably not for some longer as well. Though I'd love to get more. ;-)
    Those Tonneau Da Vinci's will go into IWC's great history: Not many produced and sold but very special and beautiful. You've got 2 of the nicest.
    Enjoy them always. I'm envious. ;-)
    Hope to see you soon if possible!

    Jarrod,
    I am very happy that you acquired one of Kevin's watches. It is a fine reminder of our friend every time you wear it.

    Thank you guys. It is indeed a very cool watch.

    Chris/Tilo, our plans have changed a wee bit but we will be back this way later in the year. Will hopefully catch up then.

    It's funny, the first thing I do with something new is pull the clear protective sticker/thing off of it. They usually really annoy me. Kevin never removed the clear sticker off the case back and I can't bring myself to remove it.

    Kevin's Da Vinci could not have found a better home with you Jarrod.
    Im truly pleased that so many of Kevin's loved watches have remained within this incredible community we have here!

    Just a quick update. MarkF was kind enough to arrange the shipping of our Laureus watch boxes to his home in Toronto. Great to finally have the complete box/book to go with Kevin's Da Vinci. Thanks Mark.

    Full circle.
    It was a great and somewhat solemn occasion to unite the watches we received via various mule routes. Thanks Bill, Paul and Kim Poe for doing the leg work in delivering Kevin's watches to Ghent and Toronto respectively.
