    This morning I got the sad news that one of our collector friends passed away,
    Jens-Kristian Soegaard, born 1949.

    A lot of collectors on the forum have met Jens Kristian during collector
    meetings in Schaffhausen, or during a BBGTGAMS in Amsterdam.

    I saw a fellow collector writing something about Jens Kristian that was spot
    on: " he always had that twinckle in his eyes", always friendly and a
    passionate collector of vintage IWC watches. Our deepest condolences to his
    family,

    So sad to hear this, but thanks for sharing this and the pictures Tonny.... I
    have fond memories of Jens-Kristian whom I met during various Collectors'
    meetings. A knowledgeable, modest and extremely friendly collector with
    amazing watches.

    My thoughts are with his family, may he rest in piece.

    What very sad news. I had the great pleasure of meeting Jens Kristian at SIHH
    2016 and 2019. A quiet passionate collector with humour, grace and a kind
    spirit.

    His presence will be missed

    What a sad news to hear... I have met Jens at the BBAMSGTG just a couple of
    times but he was always very kind and interested and also as said before had
    that twinkle in his eyes.
    My thoughts are with his family.
