    Hi, Mates!
    Primarily I wanted to meet Anthony for a small GTG today. He came the long way from Melbourne to Vienna to join a wedding I think. But unfortunately it was not possible for him to meet in the morning and not possible for me to meet him in the afternoon - so we postponed to next week.
    What I should do with the leisure time? I decided to visit the "Timelounge" to follow Jarrod´s advice: trying his most favourite IWC line - a Da Vinci Tonneau. And I found a really nice piece which blew away my doubts immediatly: Laureus Chrono 376404

    Beautiful, isn´t it? And compared with my Saint Ex Chrono it felt very lightweighted.
    Boom - and then I discovered this one :-) ... a little bit heavier: Kurt Klaus 3762 whitegold limited to 50 pieces

    ... So thanks Jarrod & Anthony that "you" made it happen - and my list becomes longer and longer! :-)

    Best,

    Wow! That KK is truly special. IMO, the fact that it honors a man that has done a lot for the company and does it so well, makes it even more special. And it looks very good on you, Christian!

    Christian, ask Giovanni.

    That white gold DA VINCI is a truly magnificent timepiece and looks absolutely stunning on the wrist!

    Christian, excellent! I'm glad you took the time to try them. Great photos, I LOVE that WG Da Vinci, stunning. I hope to add the LDV to my collection one day too!

    Cheers,

    Christian - great use of timeNo punThat KK DaVinci in white gold is sublime.

    I will email you to catch up next week.

    I too was inspired by Jarrod's love of his DaVinci and I asked the IWC boutique whether they had any, but was surprised to learn that they did not.

    Not to worry, Vienna has a lot of watch shops - let's hit a few of them next week.

    For the record, my visit to the boutique resulted in me falling for something I didn't expect to. It's been said before, but you really have to try the watch on your wrist to learn whether or not it's for you.
