    Dear IWC family,

    I don't know how I am going to fall asleep tonight. My very first and brand
    new luxury time piece from IWC is currently traveling and I am so thrilled..
    It should arrive tomorrow and I hope that everything will turn out fine with
    it. I am new to the world of IWC and relatively new to watches as life is
    uneasy and I've managed to join...a bit later.

    I hope that, maybe, this will be the start of a collection to pass on some day
    as I intend to wear it, scratch it, use it, just own it. I hope to keep it
    safe on my wrist not away in the safe.

    There is something special about IWC pilot's watches apart from the history
    and heritage, they keep me feel hypnotised, I cannot explain it, I don't want
    to. My order was for the pilot's chrono 43mm, Santoni strap, dedicated to one
    of my most beloved books from childhood - Le Petit Prince. Sure the watch is
    not the most precious out there in tems of calliber movement or other factors
    but it never is about cost relation, is it? I wish that we will develop a
    strong bond, have some wonderful stories to tell in time just like in the book
    - the Prince learns that the heart is important in recognizing the things that
    really matter in life.

    I just wanted to share my thoughts, thank you. Have a good night!

    Mr. V

    Congratulations on the acquisition and welcome to the forum!!

    Looking forward to seeing pics and reading your impressions.

    One of the greatest things I try to explain to people about the passion for
    IWC is that it's
    not the monetary value of the watch but the emtional response it illicits when
    I'm
    wearing one.

    Hello Gents and thank you for the warm welcoming! It was an exciting day. I am
    completely overwhelmed by the sheer quality of IWC. Those tiny details ahh -
    amazing craftsmanship! All this resulting in the overal feeling when you are
    left alone which the watch for the first time, I think this is where the magic
    happens lol. I am glad that the colors of this edition are so rich, so vast
    and deep. The pictures can harly present the idea of what it is like in person
    - from cloudless blue skies to dark waters black depending on the light, simpy
    stunning! I hope that I've made a good choice, IWC really should be regarded
    as a completly different story to the others in the business.

    Cheers!

    Welcome to the forum Mr Vasko and big congratulations on your amazing new
    watch, it really is a gorgeous timepiece. I am particularly fond of the
    finishing details on the IWC pilot's watches, it really is such a beautifully
    done case. And the dials, especially the blue Le Petit Prince editions, are
    some of the best you can find. My wife and I both wear LPP edition pilot's
    watches with great joy after many years and hope you enjoy yours all the same!
