IWC Da Vinci Launch

Bit late with this butre goes. Thursday June 21, Vikki and I braved the cold and wet to go to the IWC cocktail party for their new Da Vinci watches. We met up with our friend Mark in front of Cartier and tried for a cab for 20 minutes.
We were some of the first to arrive at the event, so got first drinks.

The launch took place in the marquee where the exhibition of models built from Leonardo Da Vinci's drawings and ideas was being held. The models were amazing most being built of wood and some metal. Such a brilliant mind! It is amazing to see modern inventions already being considered by Da Vinci in his time.

Great short presentation about Da Vinci and then a presentation about the main event...the Da Vinci watches from IWC. IWC produced a fantastic video for the watch and we were then able to get up close and personal with the watches themselves and lucky enough to try them on.

During the presentation we were told that the IWC Australia brand ambassador was in attendance....who could it be we wondered? and then we were told it was 5 times world 500cc motorcycle champion Mick Doohan. Well we just had to get photos with him and an autograph.
