    This is a new category on the forum. The goal is to post in depth articles some of our forum members wrote about IWC topics.
    In the past, there were great posts of high historical importance, written by collectors, that faded away in the history of the forum.
    In this section, I want to highlight these articles and give them the exposure they deserve.
    If you want that one of the posts are published here, please do send us an e-mail and together with IWC, we will review them and post these articles here.
    The first article will be posted shortly, it is an article never published on the forum.

    This is a great idea Tonny. In my spare time I have always wanted to read such articles but never knew how to identify them. It will be wonderful to have all all of this in one place. Thanks!

    I love this idea. There are so many wonderful things 'buried' on this site, and they should be resurrected.
    Thanks.

    I just have sent 10 different articles on IWC vintage watches and historic topics as I applaud this new approach.
    All of these have been published in peer reviewed independant watch journals such as Horological Journal in the UK and Klassik Uhren in Germany.
    As the legal copyright has been expired, they can be posted on the Forum.
    I sincerely hope that the reviewers of IWC will select those articles that reproduce historical facts and evidence based IWC topics. There is nothing wrong in expressing one's love and attraction for IWC watches but that is not scientific work and such kind of personal admiration does not specifically belong to the new opened section ( I assume).
    Kind regards,
    Adrian,

    Most of my "watch education" has come via the experts on this forum. This is a great way to showcase the vast knowledge pool here.

    Excellent initiative harnessing in one location for easy reference the knowledge acquired by collectors, which would be otherwise "buried". Many thanks.

    Great idea Tonny to create and have a review of the content before "publishing". There are a number of excellent reference articles around and bringing them altogether into one "volume" will be highly valuable.

    Perhaps there is also an opportunity to "invite" collectors to write about topics which have created some great discussion but one specific article was never prepared ?

    I fully agree Adrian, as there is already plenty of space for the L&A . I hope you included the articles on RM railroad watches published before here in the forum, so they can be included in the fine article now published in honour of Giovanni. I think these will add a welth of information and belong there too as reference or links because it will improve knowledge base and access.

    Hi Tonny,
    well spoken ("that faded away in the history of the forum.")
    I think I am one of the "faded guys".
    I heard the News about a new moderator and maybe some faded persons will re-appear :=)
