For numerous scheduling reasons, the meeting we considered for 2010 couldn't be accomplished. However, there is hope that one can be scheduled for February or March 2011, probably in southern California. I'll keep everyone posted here.
This will be an "official" meeting, sponsored by IWC North America, but not Schaffhausen directly. As such it is more of a local event although international collectors would be welcomed.
I'm glad the event is still on IWC's (and your) agenda. These meetings are excellent ways to meet our fellow collectors and Forum members and to continue our climb up the learning curve.

That is something for which to look forward! Thanks for keeping this idea alive!
That would be wonderful! I've been wondering what happened and am glad to know the idea is still alive!
I agree with Bill - while seeing the watches is always fun, meeting other collectors, making new friends and sharing the passion is the best.
I will greatly look forward to saving the date once it is announced!
This is one of the few times I will look forward to winter! Like all the others, I'm so looking forward to this, and seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
Thanks for sharing this news with us, Michael.
Now, what exactly does one wear in SOCAL in Wintertime??
Thank you for the update Michael.
This is indeed wonderful news and I too am very much looking forward to it.
Cheers,
Evan
Indeed - good news. I had planned on visiting the last USA meeting, and for sure we all know how appreciated these events are .
Thanks Michael, for keeping us informed.
This sounds great! I must pay more attention to this part of the forum!
Sounds like fun. Look forward to it.

Hey, that's great news. Interesting venue (I happen to be here this weekend) - will definitely be a great way to enjoy IWC Schafhausen from a Southern Cal perspective next winter - and all the dining options within walking distance from the IWC Boutique are just fabulous!!!!
I'm already looking forward to 2011! It's going to be a great weekend! The Southland will never be the same.
Best,
Larry
As it is now November, any update on this proposed meeting?
Thanks
Kevin
Sounds like time for another trip!
I'd like to be able to provide an update, but I'm not sure what will be happening now that Benoit de Clerck will be leaving his position as head of IWC North America. The meeting was his idea, and I need to talk further to him and to his successor.
A great opportunity to meet new friends and see old ones!
Nelson, folks wear IWC in SOCAL in the winter.
Thanks T
It would be great fun to meet this group in LA in Feb or early March. A new tradition between SIHH and Baselworld. Please keep me posted.
Best,
Tim
