IWC Collectors' Forum meeting in Schaffhausen 29. November

If you've ever wanted to know what it's like to be on one of the famous IWC Collectors' Forum Meetings you might be interested in a sneak insight view.

If you're among the lucky ones to be invited by IWC squad I can guarantee a fantastic event you'll never ever forget.

It's about watches. It's about IWC insights. It's about IWC people who are so enthusiastic about their work and welcoming friends of the brand.

We have been fortunate and lucky enough to be welcomed by a team of beautiful ladies, that gave us a warm and fantastic welcome.

Patricia, Maria, Valeria and Elvira welcomed us for a beautiful evening at the Restaurant Gerberstube in the heart of the Schaffhausen old historic town right around the corner from the historic Headquarter building of IWC Schaffhausen.

The watches were not part of the give away bag unfortunately. ;-)

A former IWC CEO would have called this a squad on a mission ...

I call them a bunch of great friends.

What a beautiful evening and dinner it was ...

with some outstanding people, new and long time friends...

Talking about watches and wonders and friendship and life ...

I can tell you it's so great to see you all.

What would a Collectors' Meeting be without a late night beer at the Kronenhof Bar in the center of Schaffhausen. 4 beers, 3 different nationalities from 2 different continents. Priceless.

It's late. See you again tomorrow, ladies and gens!

Cheers, Tilo, and thank you for the post and for bringing us along! Wish I could be there, looks like an amazing time for sure! Looking forward to more photos and the stories about the things you couldn't share photos of...

Sweet dreams - and have fun tomorrow!

Great post Tilo!

Brilliant report Tilo - these events are truly special - IWC is a unique brand who cares so much for their collectors that they put on these arrangements.

Thanks for sharing Tilo - love being able to share in the friendships and good times of our group.

Looking forward to more photos and a return visit to see you and Schaffhausen again!

Yes Tilo,

it was a fantastic event. I got so much more knowledge and insight into the production of modern IWC watches as well as information on historic models. Another highlight was the opportunity to talk to Kurt Klaus, what a friendly and interesting person he is. Another highlight is to meet you guys from the IWC collectors community, some friendships are lastig more then 20 years now.

Thanks IWC and Tonny to organize make it happen, thank you collectors for the long lasting friendship.

Awesome pics Tilo. Jealous....

It is quite special that IWC keeps the collectors meeting as a great tradition.

There is only one disadvantage.

New comers will be infected by the IWC Uhren virus.

It will be worse than Covid and for many incurable, while known collectors will need a booster vaccin.

Hi Adrian,

we ask you as a professional, is there any hope for us infedcted?

Wolfgang,

A doctor should tell the truth

Give me a nice vintage IWC, and I tell you the truth.

To give you a hint. I was infected 30 years ago and I am (still) alive.

Adrian.

Thank you Adrian,

I'm reassured about that. The only symptoms and pain I've felt so far, is in my right buttock pocket. The best thing I can do now is try to live with it.

Have a peaceful Advent season

Wolfgang

Many thanks to IWC, to Tonny and the collectors.

I enjoyed the time in Schaffhausen very much. It was great to do the masterclass workshop next to Kurt Klaus!

Hi Tilo - looks like a wonderful Collector's Meeting! I hope to join one day!!!

Hi Tilo,

Thanks for the post and taking us along on your journey! I wish I could be there; it seems like an incredible experience. Excited for more photos and stories, especially those you couldn't share visually.

Enjoy tomorrow and have sweet dreams!

Best,
