    Hello everybody,

    After a first trip with my new Portofino to France (Provence) during Summer, it was time to show her its home country Italy.

    Before the trip, I was happy to attend (first time ever) to the visit of Kurt Klaus and an IWC watchmaking course ine my home town Luxembourg. After having followed the timezone watch course some time ago (level 1 and 2) and having assembled 2 or 3 watches, this course has been an easy exercice but of very enjoyable. Pleasure was to meet and discuss with Kurt Klaus...

    Here are the pictures:

    And some impressions from Rome. The Portofino was a bit of overkill in the dirt of Forum Romanum but it was the only watch on the trip:

    Beautiful, thank you for sharing, Jean-Luc. I plan to take the courses for myself as well, just need more time for it. And I am very pleased to see, that there is a chance to do this also directly with IWC ! That's a great news about which I didn't know until now.
