As I read every week cellar's great "Tuesdays Tour of the Archives", they remind me that many of our members weren't participants on the forum several years ago. I therefore thought I'd therefore present you with a few reference sources, primarily about vintage IWC watches:
- First is cellar's own page of articles about IWC. He's too modest to make that part of his Tuesday tours --so here goes:
www.gregsteer.net/IWC/IWC_Index.htm
- The next one is a little harder to read --it's in German but really you can decode it. This is a page summarizing all the main pocket watch movements of IWC:
columba.ch/pocketwatch/kiwc.htm
please add http://www. to the beginning
- Then if you want to do research on early models and movements, look at my page of the IWC Vintage Catalog project. There are links of many old catalogs, and cellar did a great job of indexing the reference numbers. This is at:
iwcforum.com/Vintage_Catalogs.html
please add http://www. to the beginning
- Perhaps the most important wristwacth in IWC's history is the Ingenieur, and a Swiss collector --who hasn't been on this forum for too long, Marco Schoenenberger, did a microsite on all Ingenieur models through 1995:
moeb.ch/Ingenieur/00e_byReference.html
please add http://www. to the beginning
- Finally, if you want to check out more contemporary models. all the IWC workbooks (originally called dealers' books) from 1994 through 2007 were compiled by Stefan Weeber, and can be searched starting at:
weeber.biz/IWC/Workbook/search.html
please add http://www. to the beginning
Have fun!
