    This is a hard date to forget because it is also shared with my youngest daughter's birthday!

     

    I am not here the longest but joined in 2001 and it's been an incredible ride.

     

    Multiple gatherings and SIHH meetings with old and new friends along the way.

     

    A real highlight was returning to Geneva for Watches & Wonders this past April and seeing so many familiar faces and new ones.

     

    Thank you IWC for creating this space for collectors and a big thank-you to Tonny for his outstanding support for the collectors and moderating this place.

     

    Looking forward to many more years!

    Happy Anniversary.  Certainly a fantastic part of my life for over 25 years now!! Can’t believe it.  Have really enjoyed meeting so many of this group at get-togethers and events near and far!  It was great catching up with you Nad a few times, in Newport Beach CA, Montreal a few times - and perhaps we crossed paths in Schaffhausen or Geneva….

    Thanks so much for the post, Nad! Good to know which day to mark in the calendar!

    I really enjoyed getting to know some of the group this year and having a fantastic time in Geneva!

    It’s amazing to see how a passion for IWC can keep a group of people together for such a long time now!
    I’m really looking forward to everything that’s still to come, to learning more and to meeting lots more crazy people!

    Happy Anniversary IWC Forum!!
