From novelties like the Ingenieur Automatic 35 and Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar 41 to rare pieces like the Portuguese Tourbillon Mystère and Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon, the timepieces on display represented the full scope of IWC’s capabilities as a 21st-century watchmaker. For anyone fortunate to experience the event in person, it demonstrated not only how IWC earned its reputation as a top-tier watch brand but also the importance of form, technology, and craftsmanship in creating some of the world’s most celebrated timepieces. As the Windy City’s first Hodinkee event in several years, and Hodinkee’s first time partnering with UBS on an event in Chicago, there was much excitement around this edition of UBS House of Craft. Given this energetic reception, we hope to return to Chicago very soon.
