I ave and IWC Porsche, and I haven't found anyone who know what the IWC watch company. I collect autowind, circa 1950 to 79. For example, I owned a Gallet from the 80's came from the Warhol's collection long before he passed on. I sold it to Jeff Stein Esq.. in Atlanta. Now that was a nice every clean line watch. To address the issue that some are taking to the IWC line up is more to to the over saturation of nuvo designers that will sell a watch with their name on it and yet the movement is a gen. issue from ETA. I am in my 40's and I find most of my peers are follower of the "grand advertising machine", therefore they buy a name they recognize. I started collecting after I received an heirloom from my grandfather, circa 50s Airking precision. I bought an estate piece, Baume & Mercier, looked like a Gruen veri-thin. rose gold. My daily watch is a Swatch irony "Waterfall" Chronograph, SS band with Blk rubber link insert and black dial, MY I am gonna be on the Ellen show watch, would be either my casual 76' Seiko 6309 or my 40mm Yacht-Master SS/ Platinum.
