It is almost year end. What is the State of Your IWC Collection for 2011?

Eagerly awaiting the Launch of the new Pilot series in 2012. Hoping to fill up the empty slots !

I agree with Mark Dick, You have perhaps one of the finest collection. Great going. I am still on my first.
Will be catching up soon.

That's a great collection Vishal.
Absolutely GREAT.
MK.

Added two Laureus and the New Blue dial AT this year. In 2012 what to add an additional watch box, a VT Portofino and the new Laureus which I'm hoping is a BP version.
Thanks for looking.

Kevin,

My oh my! That collection has grown so large so fast! Can't even fit them into one case! I know you are excited about the 2012 novelties, but perhaps it is time for you to look into IWC's past for possibilities.

Best,
larry

Hi ! MK thanks for the appreciation. Here's Hoping you add a Blue dial IWC (which you always wanted) to your collection. Posting this Laureus specially for you.

State of the collection.... How about ten for the road?

I managed to double the collection this year. I started off with a 5001 in 2009, added a 3799 in 2010 and this year added a MX XI and a Aquatimer to the collection. For some strange reason I dont have a picture of all the watches together, but here are a couple:

Unfortunately, on Christmas eve, I managed to do this:

So at least for now I will be finishing the year with 3 in the collection but hope to have that one back in a few weeks and maybe even add to the collection next year (did I hear someone say ardoise white gold Portuguese Perpetual Calendar???) :)

Cheers,

Ben

Ouch! that hurts, Ben. What happened? did you drop it? from how high?

The only addition to the collection in 2011 was my first quartz watch: Ingenieur ref 3303

Aloha all!

I only picked up one IWC watch this year - a white gold Big Pilot from the IWC Boutique in Waikiki.

It was a great IWC year for me - I visited IWC in Schaffhausen for the first time and met up with Forum members David (Diaphane) and Thorsten (Perlmutt) as well as Oliver Siegle, Keren Eldad, and Markus Buhler from IWC.

I also finally got to meet SC in Hong Kong after corresponding with him for years and last but not least I got to meet Shing while on another trip to Hong Kong. It was also fun visiting the Flagship Boutique in Hong Kong for the first time.

Tracy, that is one beautiful watch,wear it in good health.
Happy New Year,

Wow! What a great grouping! What is the watch in upper left corner?

Only a modest pocket watch with Cal. 67 was added in 2011, it is now in good company. Best wishes for 2012!
