My passion for IWC started about six years ago when I acquired my first watch - a Pilot Chronograph 3717. Thereafter, I had the good luck of visiting the Manufacture at Schaffhausen and I was simply blown away by the wonderful small town and the iconic site of the Manufacture along F.A. Jones Weg. The people there were super friendly and you could tell from the small town that they were truly proud of their Swiss-German roots and everywhere you went, there would be small antique watch stores selling expensive curiosities from a distant time before.
Since then, I have also acquired the iconic Aquatimer 2000 in titanium and more recently, the Ingenieur ceramic. I've joked with a friend of mine that I foresee myself eventually getting the complete IWC model offering: I just need to get a Da Vinci, a Portugese (grail watch) and a Portofino to then truly declare myself a full IWC owner! Hopefully, I'll be able to realize my dream of this within the next few years.
Thanks for reading and you may call me a mad-cap IWC fan.
Cheers!
