    I was recently privileged/lucky enough to be invited as a guest of IWC to SIHH. It is a brilliant experience and not to be missed if you get the opportunity. In my humble opinion (I could be biased but I don't think so...) IWC's booth is the best there by a country mile. It was amazing. There were lots of others there who take far better pics than I do (Bill, Thang, Koen etc etc) so I stuck to snapping a few iPhone pics. I will leave it the better photographers to post pics of the booth etc

    I hope you enjoy them.

    Packing the essentials.

    On the train to the airport.

    I had the pleasure of taking this trip with Mr Mark Fleminger. Met him at the airport.

    Sky training it at Newark enroute.

    Pit stop.

    Trying our best to look sharp heading to the gala.

    Waiting for the train we ran into Ben, from Colorado. Despite the fact he called my beloved Vintage Collection Da Vinci "the red headed step child" of my collection, he turned out to be a salt of the earth, super nice man.

    We had a meeting at the IWC booth where we met several important IWC folks from IWC North America. I am shocking with names but I remember they were all very cool people. Especially Gaelle who went out of her way to make us feel welcome.

    We got to check out the new line. IWC have done a fantastic job. I predict the revamp is going to be a hit.

    Big Pilot Heritage 48mm.

    My personal favourite of the new line, the Miramar chrono. Love the new strap.

    The new Timezoner. You have to see this in the flesh to appreciate it.

    New Top Gun chrono is pretty damn nice too.

    As I mentioned there will be far better photos than mine posted about all things SIHH. Here are some of the people. It's the people that make the time there so special. Amazing group.

    Not sure what went on here but the pics made me laugh.

    As I mentioned SIHH is as much about spending time with the collectors as it is about the watches. A few quiet whisky's.

    Spent a few days with these two. Great fun.

    It was a great week. Special thanks to Tonny, Michael and IWC for making it happen. And my fellow collectors. It was a lot of fun.

    You are an amazing guy Jarrod and always a pleasure to be with you. I am too boring and disciplined during the week with so much work to do overnight so I missed all the late night events but I deeply enjoyed all the moments together with the group.

    I always like to learn of your favourites since they normally differ and then collide with my favourites too interestingly.

    Safe trip back (to temporary) home.

    I have NO IDEA what was going on there but it made a moment.
    Great report Jarrod. I really enjoyed the time spent in Geneva and I re-lived every moment through your report.

    Hi Jarrod

    Excellent report, I could feel the spirit by reading/watching your thread.

    And I am convinced IWC had the best booth and you are for sure not biased, and made a totally neutral evaluation...;-)

    Thanks for sharing!

    Cheers Chris
