20 years ago, this forum had it's start. IWC was the first watch company that
started an official internet forum , linked with the website, but with an
independent moderator.
It was at a time that Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Clubhouse, etc. weren't
around,
so it was the single point of information for a lot of collectors worldwide.
But it was also a place where people met, shared the same passion, and learned
from eachother about the new collections,...
It was also a place where the knowlegde about historical watches from IWC was
very much present.
With the collector meetings, we saw friendships become stronger, not only
virtual and it kept the fire burning, the passion for IWC.
20 years later, We are still around, some of us from the first day, some
newbies but all always welcome to share their thoughts about IWC in a civil
matter.
We also have memories of friends no longer amongst us, dear friends,but
it was an honor to have known them and could say they were true friends.
Maybe we can post some pictures here of the wonderful moments together.
20 years, so many great memories, but also great forum watches. Today I will
send an email to Schaffhausen with my proposal for a CF5, let's see if they
follow my crazy ideas, more to come...
Here is also the link to the first post, 20 years ago.
