Dear members,
With great excitement I went today to an exhibition at the MUDAC museum, located in my town (Lausanne, near Geneva, Switzerland).
This exhibition was called "telling time" and had surprisingly few wristwatches on display. There were of course lots of designers items and installations, allowing spectators reflexions over "time poetics".
To my surprise, there was an IWC, and not the least of.
This very quintessential pilot watch (in my opinion) was hanging between two other major brands. Sorry for the lousy pic. quality, it's all I could get since apparently taking pictures was not allowed.

Dial and hands seemed brand new. Case was mint.

The cal. 83 was coming right from Schaffhausen factory.

What a rare and stunning piece of history, don't you think?
The exhibition ends on september 27th. For the locals, don't miss it!
