As you may recall, Luxist.com had a ppoll regarding the best watch line, and I asked members here to vote. You all did, early and often!
The net result is that IWC was awarded The Readers' Choice Award Winner for the Best Watch Line by the readers of Luxist.com.
Below is the link to the article, which includes a paragraph on IWC:
www.luxist.com/2010/01/01/readers-choice-winners-for-best-in-accessories/
The paragaph reads in part:
"The Readers' Choice Award Winner for the Best Watch Line is IWC. With a deep connection to functionally themed luxury sport watches, IWC rejects an approach to watch making that focuses on form over function. In recent years according to one poll, IWC, has risen to be considered the top luxury watch brand among wealthy Americans."
Aside from all the marketing hype, in my opinion IWC IS the best watch line.
Congratulations to IWC --and thanks for all you votes.
