Here's an update from Schaffhausen:
The catalogue is currently being distributed in English and German. It should have arrived in several places already but there may have been some logistical delays.
But it`s definitely on its way --very soon. And those rumors about dispensing with the printed version are false.
Michael, Thank you for the speedy update.
Regards,
Kevin
Thank you, Michael, especially for denying that rumor.
Kind regards,
Paul
Michael,
Thanks for the prompt reply and the great news regarding the wait time and dispelling the (ugly) rumor.
Can't imagine not having the printed version. It's as collectable as IWC watches. Please pass on to the decision makers how much the catalogue contributes to the overall IWC experience. It just wouldn't be the same without it.
Thanks again Michael,
Andy
Newbie question, so how do I order the said catalogue?
Thomashan,
If you are in Mountain View here are a couple of ways:
Call IWC @ 800.432.9330. They will be happy to send you a catalogue.
Visit a Authorized Dealer or Boutique. Call first to see if they have received 2012-2013 edition.
Great Read & Reference Guide,
Andy
Andy - thanks! I had no idea those are available for public, calling that 800 number first thing in the morning!
I can definitely recommend getting one.
It is a beaty!
Waimar, from what region of the world did you get a new Catalogue? NYC Boutique on Thursday said arrival date unknown.
Thanks
Kevin
Some Sherlock Holmes like action tells me it could well be Switzerland, maybe even Gueterhof in Schaffhausen: Gueterhof.
Kind regards,
Clemens
I got mine last week in Wellington. (NZ) At the bottom of the world. It is excellent.
LOL your investigative actions are amazing Clemens!
Indeed I was in Switzerland, this weekend me and my girlfriend reserved the Saturday to drive from Basel to Schaffhausen and visit the museum.
After the tour our hostess kindly asked if we would like the latest copy of the catalog, it came out last week she said.
Of course I could not resist wandering into the boutique, where the staff was most helpful getting watches on my wrist. I must say I was sure it would be the 3717 but the now that I wore the 3777....
Just last night, Google maps and I were looking at the route from here to Schaffhausen. I hope to make a visit next month. Glad to hear that they take such good care of visitors.
I really like the date window on the 3777. It's interesting and adds an extra hint of red to the dial. I know a lot of people prefer the 3717 but for me it's 3777 all the way.
For all the UK forum members following this thread, a copy of the 2012/13 catologue popped through my letterbox yesterday from London HQ.
Marvellous.....
Any surprises?
The obvious change is the scaled down size, compared to previous years. Print quality superb (as ever)
Mark66:
When you say "scaled down size", are you speaking of the height & width or the number of reference pages in the catalogue this year?
Can't wait for the U.S. distribution....
Thanks,
Andy
Are you sure about it being scaled down in size?
I just got mine in Hong Kong, from the boutique at the airport.
I can't come it with the previous ones yet, as I don't have the old ones with me now. This new one... however, still seems quite substantial.
