    I was delighted to receive an invitation to the "Watches & Wonders" event in Hong Kong. This not only gave me an opportunity to explore watches from many brands but to rediscover my bond with IWC and enjoy the company of some of the forum members.
    It was a privilege to meet Mr Christian Knoop, Associate Director Creative Centre and Mr Edouard d'Arbamont, Managing Director, IWC south east Asia.
    Here are some shots from my visit.

    Incase you are wondering this is what Mr Christian Knoop had on his wrist.

    That was quite an event! Very interesting new watches, my mind is racing over them. Right now the new Portuguese with the date and power reserve indicator at the back is the winner for me, a natural beauty! But, as I learned before, I need to see them for myself on my wrist to be accurate on my assessment. And I already have a lot of watches that look like it... Great effort, IWC!

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Thanks guys for posting!

    Since the Pilot Petite Prince looks so great: does it have a 'sunray' dial or is it mat/even blue?

    Looking forward to your answers!

    Regards,

    Bob
