I random run-in with someone almost 10yrs ago has led to this. An IWC pilot is THE WATCH that got me into watches. Timepieces. It was never in the cards for me, though. At least, not while kids are in school, there’s a mortgage to pay, and bikes to be had. So, yeah. Never.
Until today. I reconnected with this person about a year ago. I always wanted to ask which he had that day when we first met, but that’s an odd question. Until you have a 9% beer and are a lightweight. It’s a good thing I had that beer. This was sent to me and delivered today. To have and to hold. All I have to do is send it in for service at some point, as it’s been a while. I don’t think it’s the one he was wearing when we met, but it IS an IWC pilot. And I’m at a total loss for words.
