    Yesterday evening, there was a very nice event at the boutique in London.

    I was fortunate to be a small part of it, so I took off in the morning to
    London

    The exhibition about the Mark 11 is a must to see for all fans of vintage
    pilot's watches. Or to be more precise, vintage navigational watches.

    The start of the exhibition came with an interview with Herr Thomas Koening,
    collector and THE expert on the Mark 11, explaining the history of the Mark
    11.

    Here he is explaining to the staff what they have in the boutique on display.

    Some very rare examples of the Mark 11 are in the exhibition, real museum
    pieces.

    But also equipment from a jet plane ; a camera that housed a Mark 11

    ready for the people to arrive...

    some special watches

    and some familiar faces from the forum turned up

    some Ingenieurs together, 3 of my favorite ones.

    The Q&A time went well I believe, people were interested, we got some good
    questions from the audience too. And we went live on Instagram.

    So if you are the coming months in London, make sure to go see the boutique.
    The exhibition will be there until early August.

    Excellent initiative. The Mark 11 deserves to be honored and Thomas Koenig is
    the person to do it. I wish I had been there.

    Well said, Antonio.

    Thomas Koenig is THE expert.

    Years ago I had the pleasure to join Thomas to london where we did research in
    several museums on the "dirty dozen" of which the W.W.W.IWC is one of them. He
    then had already published his article on the Mark 11, one of the most iconic
    navigation watches.

    Adrian,
