Thank you so much Friends, for the warm welcome to the forum.
At the GTG, some members asked me what made me pick up my first IWC.
I am aware of the media slogans of IWC watches being engineered for men, and also the masculine image of the brand.
But I first laid eyes on an IWC at an AD event, where the local IWC brand manager (a lady, but she's no longer with IWC) was wearing the Portu Chrono on a lime green crocodile strap. It really looked fantastic on her. We had a good chat and then I asked the AD manager who was attending the event to keep one piece of the watch for me.
I feel that GTGs and watch events are great opportunities to help one make up your mind about a watch. Most people buy watches online nowadays (as do I), but nothing beats seeing a watch on someone's wrist in the flesh.
Welcome to The Forum, I'm sure you're going to love being around.
And a big "WELL DONE" to our Singaporean forummers!
