Hi!! This is my first time in forum!! I'm owner of Aquatimer, I'm lucky to bought my first IWC watch at IWC boutique in Schaffhausen. I like the mechanical watch, it's because that included many little pieces and the history, It's like art!

I admired my fathers 1953 slimline rolex for many years through boyhood and at that time had inferior time pieces saying one day I will have a decent watch! I now have this Rolex watch after he passed away and have also added my own rolex (gift from wife), and several other time pieces. The pride of my collection is the IWC Dopplechronograph with a stainless steel strap. I have owned the IWC for some 6 - 7 years now it has never let me down and keeps wonderful time. The mechanical movement is remarkable and as I use it daily it has collected some very minor scratches. I purchased the watch from Wempe in Dresden Germany. I would like to add a further IWC but I will have to keep that aspiartion away from my wife.

My impatience and youthful ambition I suppose have cemented very early on in my life that Time is one of the most valuable things on this earth. Having had the opportunity to travel considerably for work and leisure brought me to my first luxury timepiece - a Baume et Mercier Capeland GMT Alarm.
Being able to measure time on an automatic watch is a true joy. My habit (frequented by many people, including a boss) of looking at my timepiece every 20 minutes I suppose also helped to culminate my now love for mechanical watches. A quest for perfection, a quest for ideal efficiency, a quest for success, a quest for that joy in life - happiness !

To be perfectly honest, replica mechanical watches that were given to me by my parents when I was in middle school started my fascination of horology. I took them apart and tried to understand mechanical watch's structure on my own. That experience put me into quest for searching a 'real' mechanical watch that will last a lifetime.

They say that the watch you wear determines your personality. I've been into watches since I was a little boy. My very first mechanical watch was that of an automatic Mickey Mouse watch given to me by my uncle when I was 7. I have been fascinated by how the gears of the watch works. It had taken me so long to save up for an IWC watch. I spent countless days looking at different pictures of IWCs. Now, I finally own one, a Pilot Chronograph. I hope it won't stop there and I hope I get to own one of the Portuese Tourbillion.
My fascination for watches started when i was young. My father has always liked watches and also bought med watches, no really expensive onces for either him self or me, but nice watches,(seiko,tissot, vintage handwound zenith and omega). I think it was the handwound zenith my father bought when i got my faschination, i was 6-7 years old then. watches has always been a part of my life My first mechanical watch that i saved money for was an breitling seawolf when i was on vacation in new york 2008, i had it for little over 2years, then i sold it, i had started to unlike the look of breitling and to get more money for my own birthday present, It was a 30 year birthday present for me self, a Omega seamaster planet ocean xl, i bought it from my local ad here in sweden. And today i bought a iwc 371701, a watch i have looked for a long time.

I can't even remember when I became interested in the precision art of mechanical timepieces. I do recall as a youth trying to take them apart, which I managed to do! HOWEVER it was the reassembly, I never quite got worked out. Henceforth, I leave watch making to the professionals and just appreciate their mastery...
