An Interview with Hannes Pantli

THX very interesting!

Great interview! Thank you...

for another informative tour!

Best regards,
Jim

It was a pleasure and an honor to meet Mr Pantli

at the last collectors' meeting in Geneva. I found out that we had been in the same locations in the 1970s and that it was only though a total absence of serendipity that we never met while he was traveling through Southen Africa on behalf of IWC.

Superb reading. Thanks, nt

Thank you cellar this is one of the best

tours I had thanks again.

Interesting history piece.

Great tour, thank you>

I didn't know pd project started before Blumlein era.

I'm very glad I had the chance to meet Mr. Pantli during last collectors meeting, he really is a patrimony of knowledge about IWC.

Thank you Greg for another interesting tour.

Thank you!

It was a pleasure reading that interview. I also had the pleasure to meet Mr Pantli in Schaffhausen and he is a charming man.

Kind regards,

Clemens

As always, we're grateful to you, Cellar

Yes indeed, he is a fine gentlemen and...

very knowledgeable about IWC. He handled part of my first factory tour in 2006.

don't you think we need a Pantli special edition?

I sincerely believe this man needs to be honored for his contribution to IWC. He represents IWC's proud tradition and needs to be honored for this.

Michael

Plus 1, 2 and 3. Great suggestion. nt

A great idea. Totally agree.

I totally agree Michael and know the dial for the

job, which is one of a kind, as Herr Pantli.

It should be a kind of Forum watch then

As Mr. Pantli may be well known in the IWC community, he is not for the rest of the world. A nice pocket watch would be very fitting: instead of a Schützenuhr a Forum-Pantli Uhr.

Kind regards,

Absolutely! (nt)

It is indeed a beautiful idea

let's hope.

Argiris

Yes I agree!

Great article, especially for newer members...

...like myself. Thanks for digging it out!
