    [color=#333333]Mr Christoph Grainger-Herr [/color][color=black]visited Hong Kong very briefly a while ago, during his ~17 hours stay (overnight included)  he managed to have a meet with a few collectors in Hong Kong, and we were honoured to have lunch with him.

    [color=black]After lunch Chris paid a visit to the new boutique in Pacific Place Hong Kong.  Given his super tight schedule, Chris went straight to the airport after this. [/color]/site_media/ckeditor_images/b13c60273fdcb3c5dab9f47c5b58b9ce.jpg

    [color=black]As a souvenir for the afternoon, IWC Hong Kong gave each of us a very nicely packed gift.[/color]/site_media/ckeditor_images/f8e6512a7735a6d5d6897f1d8150b6ce.jpg[color=black] [/color]
    [color=black]Inside is a handmade wooden box.  IWC Hong Kong made a quick video of the making of this handmade wooden box as part of the celebration of IWC 150 Years, the video pays tribute to heritage of craftsmanship.  20 of such boxes were made.[/color]/site_media/ckeditor_images/b999335f8352bf3b6b2e75d8fe06316a.jpg

    [color=black]And this box is a perfect match with a vintage looking Big Pilot like the Safari [/color]

    [color=black]A big thank you to Chris for meeting us given his super tight schedule, thank you to IWC Hong Kong for making this happen too.[/color]

    Fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

    Funny thing, I just asked my brother who lives in Whampoa Gardens in Hong Kong to stop by the new boutique at Pacific Place to check on a watch for me! Something that is available there and not in NYC where I am. Hopefully he's able to get it for me!

    Thanks for sharing this story with us. It's nice to see Chris taking time out of his busy schedule to meet the collectors.

    The wooden box looks amazing, I really liked the wooden boxes IWC's came in years ago but from an environmental view I understand that smaller boxes means less impact.

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    Great post, and a bunch of fine gentleman. 

    Its certainly appreciated that IWC execs (in fact the entire team ) take the time to interact with and take input from us Collectors.
