    One of the pleasures of my holiday in Switzerland every year has been the collecting of the new IWC catalogue at the AD. I have some 17 catalogues right now, all with the CHF price list (easy for comparison), most in German (good for my aptitude at this language).

    This year, the AD told me that IWC hadn't produced the catalogues in time (most years they would appear around June), and that she didn't know when they would come. She told me she contacted IWC on it, as she wanted to be sure, she couldn't really believe they were not available yet.

    This is a real bummer for me, as the German CHF based catalogue has become kind of a tradition to me.

    Has anybody already seen the 2016/17 catalogue? Any news on the date of appearance? I could write IWC to send me the catalogue as soon as it is available, but I read some non-favourable reports about the handling of these requests. Maybe the local AD here in Switzerland is a more appropriate point to drop the request, although I wouldn't like to bother her with the cost of handling this request, where the fault is not hers.

    Thank you for some additional information!

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Hi Paul

    I just got the confirmation from the smaller IWC Boutique in Zurich (Weinplatz): The 16/17 catalogue is available. Just in case you are still in Switzerland.

    Cheers Chris

    The new catalogue arrived at the NYC Boutique about a month ago. I picked mine up the day it arrived.

    Thank you all for your replies. I feel free now to try other AD's in Zermatt and Basel. I may come back to your offers if not successful.

    Indeed, the story struck me as strange, but let's see what happens. Thanks again!

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Catalogue scored! At another AD, that just had it. So, my watch world is OK again, but the original story stays a bit strange.

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Visited an Ace Jewelers in Amsterdam today. They had the 2017 catalogue.
