robsa Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hey guys Well, I requested a catalogue on the IWC site. Just got it from the Post Office, didnt cost me a penny and it is truly a work of art! Hard-backed and fantastic! I am now settled on the couch with a ginger wine in my hand, all the housework is done and I am looking forward to perusing it for an hour or so! Good old IWC. The Rolex catalogue is nice, as is the Omega one... but they can't hold a candle to this one! Anyone know of a better catalogue than this?! -Robsa Oops! Just noticed I left my address on there... don't look too hard OK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrippa Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 The IWC is very nice, but for my money Jaeger LeCoultre has the best one. I received two of those; a softcover English edition and a hard-back in French. The latter, although cool, is of somewhat limited use for someone who can only count to 10 and order beer in French, but what the hell. Apart from those I've got several hard-backed ones, like DeWitt, TAG Heuer, Ebel, Ulysse Nardin and more, but none are quite up to the standards of IWC and JLC. UN probably slides into third place as far as quality goes. Haven't been able to get a Breguet catalogue yet, but I've not given up hope. Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin's catalogues are piddly little booklets by the way. Quite disappointing. Then again they probably have better offerings for people they know to be loaded.

robsa Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hmn, yes, I bet Patek have a leather-bound one for paying customers... or maybe not. Maybe they dont need one! Just been drooling over the new 'vintage' aquatimer. Verrrry nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatchaman Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I have a Jaeger LeCoultre catalog that's in English and white hardbound. Its from 2002/03. I have catalogs by many watch makers: IWC, Rolex, JL, Chronoswiss, Glashutte, Union Glashutte, Nomos, Dubey & Schaldenbrand, Panerai, Omega, Zenith, Fortis, Sinn. They are all fun to get in the mail! All from many different years. Patek catalog, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
