The elaborate film was developed in-house and realized with the Swiss production company Pumpkin Film and the internationally renowned director Marco Grob. The excellent teamwork - both in-house and with external partners - helped to put the 84-year-old watchmaking legend Kurt Klaus in the right light, IWC writes in a press release.
