Gatherings A Special Evening With IWC Schaffhausen

Celebrating the grand opening of the brand's first ever boutique in the Washington D.C. area.

The local D.C. watch collector community came out in record numbers to officially welcome IWC Schaffhausen to the neighborhood. Our resident Managing Editor and Washington D.C. area native Danny Milton welcomed D.C.'s finest for a special evening celebrating the opening of the Swiss watchmaker's first boutique in the area, one of several scheduled this year across the US. A city known for its uniquely diverse mix of cultures, backgrounds and professions from government officials to military members, it should come as no surprise that the American founded brand set its eyes on the D.C. watch collector hub for its latest retail space.

Hodinkee Managing Editor Danny Milton and IWC Schaffhausen North America Brand President Stanislas Rambaud.

The new Ingenieur Automatic 40 in Titanium.

Accompanied by IWC North America Brand President, Stanislas Rambaud, the dynamic duo led an engaging and intimate panel conversation, covering topics like IWC's history, heritage and unique engineering approach to precision watchmaking. While there was no shortage of expertly crafted timepieces on-hand, the night belonged to the new Ingenieur Automatic 40, which made its way over to the East Coast straight from Geneva for a very rare one-night appearance. 

Please enjoy some moments captured from the evening's festivities.
