This week, IWC cut the ribbon on this long-awaited landmark, located on New York’s fashionable Madison Avenue, in grand fashion, with an exclusive cocktail party attended by celebrity friends of the brand and the launch of a U.S.-only limited edition timepiece. IWC’s many fans are likely to find that the store was worth the wait.The opening-night affair? saw appearances by such notable IWC fans as supermodels Adrianna Lima and Karolina Kurkova; actors Matthew Fox (“Lost”), Channing Tatum (“The Vow”), and Chris Hemsworth (“The Avengers”); and boxing legends Evander Holyfield and Larry Holmes.

Who says people don't notice watches!
Had a brief work trip today to Melbourne, while collecting my breakfast the flight attendant commented I like your Royal Oak. Unfortunately our time was limited to chat but he showed me his lovely TT GMT. 20 seconds later the next team came down with coffee and the guy said love love your shirt and watch.The original attendant came back and chatted and said he was a regular on TRF, sadly we did not have more time to chat.The 41mm RO certainly makes a statement. Good to know forum members are everywhere and only a watch sighting away!!!!

DJ Wimbledon Dial
Happy holidays TRF members,I have been searching for my first Rolex watch that I can wear daily. As a banker and a lawyer, I wanted a dressy yet a casual watch that I can wear without worrying too much about getting scratches. The DJ 41 TT (the Wimbledon ) was what I wanted and purchased it at a great price while I was on a family vacation in Taiwan last week.This watch is very comfortable and I am satisfied with the purchase. My previous daily watch was a Tag Heuer Indy 500 and I still love the watch. It is a tank!!!I am happy to finally joined the TRF club!
