One of the pleasures of my holiday in Switzerland every year has been the collecting of the new IWC catalogue at the AD. I have some 17 catalogues right now, all with the CHF price list (easy for comparison), most in German (good for my aptitude at this language).
This year, the AD told me that IWC hadn't produced the catalogues in time (most years they would appear around June), and that she didn't know when they would come. She told me she contacted IWC on it, as she wanted to be sure, she couldn't really believe they were not available yet.
This is a real bummer for me, as the German CHF based catalogue has become kind of a tradition to me.
Has anybody already seen the 2016/17 catalogue? Any news on the date of appearance? I could write IWC to send me the catalogue as soon as it is available, but I read some non-favourable reports about the handling of these requests. Maybe the local AD here in Switzerland is a more appropriate point to drop the request, although I wouldn't like to bother her with the cost of handling this request, where the fault is not hers.
Thank you for some additional information!
Kind regards,
Paul
