    I went shopping for a new IWC, and I'm torn between a Portuguese and an Ingenieur :-/

    I dropped by the new IWC boutique at the 360 mall near Kuwait City to decide ... Only to be confused further by the choices ...

    Ing. Plastiki ...

    The IWC Vintage Collection box - 6 wonderful watches, but I specially like:

    ... the Vintage Aquatimer,

    ... and the Portofino!

    For lack of time, I didn''''''''t even get to see the Portuguese collection, I needed to get home and watch the WC game. I ended up with the obligatory freebies and postpone the decision to another day :-/

    Wow! Thank you for clearing them out :-) I guess I was way too anxious to catch the game on TV to properly edit the post :->

    But WOW!!! Germany ruled that game: I was expecting them to win, but 4/0 :-D

    EJS27 and Bob: Thank you very much guys!

    Although the boutique has been open for only a few weeks now, I'm told it has become a meeting place for IWC lovers. The brand is available at several fine shops owned and operated by the same agent in Kuwait. As a matter of fact, the shop adjacent to the boutique is being prepared for another major brand (JlC) and its expected to open sometime next month.

    As an engineer by profession, I work mainly with environmental related projects. Thats why I'm thinking of one of Ingenieurs - possibly the Climate Action edition. However, all of my last acquisitions were of "sporty" watches, and I'm thinking the next one should be more dressy. The new Port. "Yacht Club" appears to be both, so I'm waiting to try it on once it becomes available here :-/
