Thoughts about 2009: what would you like to see?

I agree with most of your views>>

and would include that tourbillons should not be displayed.
I particularly dislike the open casebacks of the (so called) Vintage Collection. I like the open caseback in the Jubilee Portugieser, though. There is no real rational to this, though.
The Mark XII is a beaufifull watch but for a perfect combination of form and function I would have chosen the Mark 11 or the WWII PIlot Watch.
Btw, I also remove the (removable) lables of everyting, car included. Like you, only I know what I have. It is good to know I am not alone. :))

Exactly the same opinion. /nt)

While I was overwhelmed by the VC for ...

... IWC's 140th birthday, I'd just like them in smaller sizes.

I would like to see white faces matched with s.s, I can't afford Platinum!!!

Yes you can Andrew >>>

You just have to make hard choices and sell your collect for a few special pieces.

Indeed - I'll second that motion. (nt)

Simplicity is what I consider true elegance (nt)

That would be fan-tastic (nt)

I like the idea of a UTC Ingenieur (nt)

I'd buy that

but have heard it said that watches without date don't sell well.

I would like to see the new Deep Sea II with depth gauge.

That counts and I can understand ...

... that wish. It was a big wish for me two and 2.5 years ago it fortunately came true. I am still in big love with it. It's so timeless and never boring. A beautiful sales woman in the IWC store in Gdansk/Poland admired it also this week when I admired the VC Ingenieur.
Keep going for it!

1) I'd like to see a rose gold Ing with a matching rose gold bracelet. Both the standard Inges (42mm and the 45mm Inges) and the VC Ing should be offered in rose gold.
2) Id like to see a manufactured movement with a 72 hour power reserve in everything IWC makes (the 7-day Port and Inge and BP being the obvious exceptions).

Add the soft iron cases to all models that do not have see-through metal case backs. Either that or go to an amagnetic parachrom hairspring like Rolex has adopted.

I'd like to see a rose gold MARK XVI.

Less limited editions, more clean designs

both in-house and euabache movements, both uncomplicated and complicated movements + variations in case material as we are used to.

2009.....

I would love to see a steel Portuguese PC with white dial and blue hands and a product line with less limited editions as this inflation of limitations is in my eyes not good for the brand image.

I think the pilot's watch is so iconic that something, simple, retaining the original design cues - perhaps slightly bigger...
