| Post subject: | Unexpected package |
Last night while I was eating dinner, my doorbell rang. I went outside and there was a package sitting out there addressed to me. I wasn't expecting anything, so I opened it and it was my IWC catalog. About a month ago I called an IWC boutique and requested a catalog. Since it took so long, they felt urged to send me an IWC hat, bag, magazine, a handwritten note of appology and the catalog. Sorry if I am making such a big deal out of this. This is the first time I posted pictures, so I hope it works ![]() ![]()

I agree, when I opened this and saw the font I was thinking the same thing too. They should have put their traditional logo on the hat. |

They should have put their traditional logo on the hat. Actually I like it for the very reason it doesnt shout out Brand marketing - I like the low profile approach. Perhaps one of the very few that I would actually wear this and a Tissot hat that I received a year or so ago....black cap with black letters again low key. |

I would've expected soemthing much more classy looking than that from IWC! |

i think breitling need to take a leaf out of iwc book re the catalog though. feels like each watch should cost 5k plus rather than breitlings which doesnt send the right message imo |

I've always been a big fan of the Chronolog (I've got all of them since the Chronolog started), and I look forward to the new one like some people look forward to a new Harry Potter book! But in the last 9 months or so I've been taking a much greater interest in other manufacturers and some of their catalogs are truly superb - IWC's is more like a novel that a mere catalogue. Another really nice touch from IWC is that all the main head-on pictures of the watches are life-sized, so it REALLY gives you an idea of what they look like in the metal.JLC's and Blancpain's catalogues are also a bit special aswell. |

I eould also recommend Breguet for a quality catalogue - that one's going to cost me some serious coin one day! |
