    October 21, 2015 , the day that Marty McFly and Doc Emmet Brown went to in Back to the future.

    I received an email from our forum member Cinq who had an idea about the dates shown in the movie.
    As IWC already was founded in the earliest period shown in the movie ( 1885 ), we could cover all the different dates with watches from that era.

    He wrote : "It would be fun to make a post with pictures of (pocket)watches from all the years used in the movies: 1885, 1955, 1985 and 2015. Unfortunately I'm no expert on the earlier periods but maybe you could come up with something?"

    Great idea from Cinq, so here we go, starting from 1885 :

    first something digital from the past, an Elgin II Pallweber, around 1885

    And another oldie from around 1885, a cal 32
    i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag260/tonnyiwc/L1100368_zps1zfyndir.jpg

    So let's show some others from 1885, 1955, 1985 and 2015.

    Thanks for this great start Tonny, I do hope some watches from the other years will turn up though.

    Kind regards,

    2015 is the year the movie, Back to the Future, predicted the Cubs win the World Series. That looks to be a seriously bad prediction right now.

    Still no reactions? Well, in that case I will post this 'Ingenieur Vintage Edition 1995 Laureus':

    Hi Clemens
    Nice pic!
    I think you mean "Ingenieur Vintage Edition 1955 Laureus" ;-)

    LOL (it's CapsLock Day today), I had to read my post 3 times to see the typo :-)
