Portofino in Roma

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:

Congratulations on your achievement Jean-Luc. A very nice post and Portofino, thanks for sharing.

That must have been quite an experience. Congratulations.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience. The Portofino is just beautiful!

Cheers.

Really nice experience and watch...and terrific photos too. Many thanks!

Looks like a great experience. And the photos bring back memories of my trip there several years ago.

I would love to take that watchmaking course, congrats on your passing and meeting Herr Klaus!

Great post and brings back nice memories of Rome!

Love that watch! Maybe tomorrow on my wrist, it is also such a good work watch.

Kind regards,
Paul

I think you took the perfect watch for the occasion! Like Alan, your excellent photos bring back fond memories from our Rome trip!

Thanks for sharing, Jean-Luc.

Great photos, great watch, great experience!

Cheers!

Thanks for the wonderful report and pictures Jean-Luc. The Portofino is a great choice and a wonderful watch!

Kind regards,

Thanks for the great report. It must be a very special experience to meet Kurt Klaus in presence.

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.
