Greetings,
Several years ago, Marco Schoenenberger, an IWC collector from Switzerland, developed a program to date vintage IWCs from their serial numbers, generally for watches between 1885 and 1974. This was based on published information in various sources, and was a helpful tool for the vintage watch collector.
Unfortunately, the download site for this application recently had the program removed, and people could not obtain the program.
Fortunately, I saved a copy of it (since I use it regularly) and was able to upload it to my host. If you would like to download a copy, you can find the program at
www.iwcforum.com/DateYourIWC.exe
or you can try clicking on the link below.
Please realize that you are downloading an application. While I believe that the host server and the application are "clean", you should always use virus protection and you do so without any liability to me, IWC or others.
Legal stuff aside, I think you will find the application invaluable, and my compliments again to Marco for a fine job.
Regards,
Michael
