    It was a lot of pleasure and great experience! Thanks a lot to all our friends
    from IWC and to Homberger family who accepted us for a dinner in their house.
    It was like a dream. I mentioned it in my FB page and would like to repeat
    again. I never expected to have a dinner with Homberger when I started collect
    IWC watches.

    Thanks again and let me post few photos of this great event!

    When I started from Moscow the first thing I've noticed in flight magazine was
    the article about new IWC manufacture centre. Good sign!))

    information about conception and design of IWC boutiques etc.

    looks amazing, would love to do this kind of thing with IWC.

    seems there are very few brands where the collectors have the same pasion for
    the brand

    Current IWC's: Big Pilot 500901, Portugieser Automatic 500705

    Thanks for a great report, Roman. The IWC Collectors' Meeting was the
    epitome, thus far, of my IWC journey. It was good to see old friends and
    friends to be made, enjoying the experience!

    Excellent post Roman, and it was great to see you again my friend. I fully
    agree with all you write, that you so much to the IWC team and to Tonny for
    arranging everything for us and ofr hosting us so graciously. The highlight
    of the trip for my wife and myself was the tour of the new manufacturing
    facility, the watchmaking masterclass, and of course the fantastic evening and
    dinner at the Homberger home.

    The Homberger family deserves a big thank you and special mention for opening
    their home to us collectors, that truly was an evening to remember!
