Interesting story. During his direction, IWC made their best design

It is no coincidence that i own 3 IWC of the 90s :
IWC GST
IWC Ingenieur SL
IWC Pilot Chrono 3706.

And everytime i wear them, always bring smiles to me. Something i don't get from my rolexes. Rolex makes robust movement, probably the most in the industry, and they retain their value very well. But IWC design appeal to me much more.

A very nice article on the man who was instrumental in generating a renewed interest in mechanical watches and some important brands: monochrome-watches.com ...  

IMHO each of his son IWC, JLC, ALS has extremely strong and unique character with superbly ingenious movement.
