    "Coming home"
    What a great testament to the relationship between IWC and its collectors to see such a wonderful collectors display in the Museum. I will see it in person soon.

    All of our watches should go back to base for regular service each 3-5 years but to see so many Prodigal Pilots coming home is lovely.

    Great concept. Bravo.

    Thank you gentlemen. Having said that I am glad to contribute, I am missing my watch everyday.

    Thank you for sharing Erwin!
    Empathising the absence of a beloved timepiece - but it is for a really great initiative. And fortunately there are visiting hours ;-)
    Best,
