Hi there community!
Yesterday I had the privilege to meet Antonio aka Clepsydra, in Portugal.
I drove from Porto to Lisbon to meet him in the morning, at a café near the Atlantic ocean.
We could have talked the whole day.
But let me tell you this, community, Antonio is not only a major and knowledgeable IWC vintage collector, with perfect taste and philosophy, but he is such a nice person.
He was kind enough to show me some of his collection he especially brought that morning. Of course for those who know him (or who read the interview on the IWC forum), they will know what items I am referring to. All watches in an absolutely fantastic condition, with fully original components.
I told him he did not only made my day, nor the week, nor the month, but the whole year!
Now I have returned in Switzerland.
With sparkles in my eyes... He allowed me to share this picture of his ref. 325, with the original crown (that is how it was meant to be).

Antonio, thanks again for having brought me such a blissful moment, and for the time you took for me. You most certainly deserve every single item you have. Congratulations, hats off!
