...Another extreme rare IWC Schützenuhr was brought to my attention by Rolf Birkenauer : The 1899 Baden ( near Vienna) IX Niederösterreichises Landesschiessen : the 9th shooting competition in lower Austria 1899. Rolf permitted me to show this watch on the Forum.
The Meis book does not reveal a lot about the figures ,depicted on this rare watch. On one side a gentleman with huge moustache is depicted : Erzherzog Rainer Protektor ( Archduke Border Protector).
Kind regards,
