Greetings friends,
I searched for Dr. David Seyffer's thesis on the history of IWC but cannot
find where it might be available? And hopefully in English language? If not in
print, what about digital? A digital copy in German may be able to be
translated if it is not available in English (though it might be cumbersome).
I'm not sure where to look or whom to ask? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Hello
I had a look at the German website of the online bookstore that resembles a
brazilian stream. There it says 1 item available of the German speaking book.
As far as I remember the same text was already there about one year ago when I
orderd my version of Seyffer's thesis.
Maybe the english version is sold out.
On www.abebooks.com you find plenty of this two volume book.
As it is David Seyffer's thesis submitted at Stuttgart University it is in
German only and only in print available.

Th. Koenig
Thank you so much for the link. I was able to order a copy from the UK,
naturally in German language. It will be a slow process to translate, but
thankfully the technology is in my pocket (Google Translate on the Smart
Phone).
If anyone has a resource with an English translation, whether digital or
print, please share!
The books were shipped to me in the USA from the UK last week (seemed very
quick!). Over the last several days, I have read the "Google Translation" from
German to English of about 50 pages, dealing primarily with the period of
IWC's history during the years it was cooperating with Porsche Design. Being a
doctorial thesis, it is far from a "pretty" coffee table book (very few black
and white photos), but the text gives very interesting details of the
manufacturer.
Many thanks for the link to the website! It will continue to be an enjoyable
"project" as I dig a little deeper into other era's of IWC's history.
