With the focus on IWC this week, our guest is none other than Hannes Pantli, board member at IWC and one of the biggest collectors of IWC watches, who recounts the history of IWC and how the watch company evolved through the eras of watchmaking.

Pantli, who started in IWC in 1972, counts opening the Middle Eastern markets and guiding IWC through the Quartz Crisis as some of his milestones. It was also due to his foresight that the oversized Portofino dress watch line became the success that is today.
