Contest: Kurt Klaus Signed Catalog…
IWC fans take note — you could win a bound copy of IWC’s catalogue signed by legendary IWC designer Kurt Klaus! This giveaway is courtesy of the Dutch watch aficionados at Ace Jewelers and DeZinVanLuxe. The giveaway is open to anyone in the world. How to enter? It’s easy and I’ll tell you below. First, a look at the Master in action 
Kurt Klaus holds a place of true distinction in modern watchmaking history. A horologist, designer and inventor, Mr. Klaus has dedicated more than 50 years of his life to designing ingenious horological solutions that bear the famous IWC mark. It was in April 1985 that Kurt Klaus completed the first three IWC Da Vinci chronograph perpetual calendars. This was the first chronograph perpetual calendar movement on the market, a spectacular achievement by Klaus. The Da Vinci was a sensation at the 1985 Baselworld fair, and of course it has gone on to be IWC’s most famous models today! There is even the special Da Vinci “Kurt Klaus” edition which pays tribute to the man. Klaus also headed the design team for IWC’s in-house automatic movement, the Calibre 5000, that was introduced in 2000….and the list goes on. So you see how special Kurt Klaus is to IWC!
So here’s how to try and win your very own Kurt Klaus-signed IWC catalogue — it’s fast and easy!
1) Click over to this page on DeZinVanLuxe (scroll down for the English translation). You will see 3 YouTube movies that Team Ace Jewelers filmed when Klaus came to visit their boutique. They are actually very interesting if you have 20 minutes and 57 seconds to watch all 3!!
2) You can ignore the instructions at the bottom of DZVL’s post. Instead, send an email to the two addresses noted. In your subject line state “IWC Contest” and in the body state the answer to the question: What total length of the 3 YouTube movies ? (hint, hint above!)
