    Tanja Warring, IWC's Museum curator, has prepared a report for our forum members about the Museum's first year and what it will be doing in the future.

    I've been communicating with Tanja for some time now, and she's taken the time to prepare her report as a favor for us. I think you'll be more than impressed with what she is doing and has already accomplished. I also believe we all owe Tanja a lot of thanks. She's a true friend of IWC collectors.

    The report is a PDF file, and linked below.

    Enjoy!
    Michael

    I visited IWC in June 2006 before...

    the new museum was opened. Can't wait until the next visit at which time I will get a chance to check out the museum.

    Portuguese Anniversary Edition

    nice one, thanks!

    Do you know if the museum bought the nr.1 edition of the Portuguese Anniversary Edition from 1993 ?

    Grts,

    Exclusive! A report on the IWC Museum

    Very interesting report.
    Thank you MF for sharing this with us.I wonder if this report is available in German as well, as a lot of German Collector's are just in the german section of the forum.
    Are there any plans to "file" the museum collection online,to say as a teaser for a "live" visit?
    There is some space available of the old sales market ;-))

    Kind regards
    JHF

    Excellent report. Thanks for posting

    I am thrilled to see the plans to make a database available via the Internet at some point in the future. What a great resource.

    Congratulations on the 1st year of operation. The IWC Museum is truly a great place to visit.

    for German forum members....

    ...for the time being I'd suggest that you should feel free to direct them to the report in English or this string. The report was made for made at my request and initially to my knowledge was written in English. I have a tendency to "pester" people at IWC for forum content. I'm sorry that the report is not available in German, but I'll keep that in mind for the future.

    Interestingly, Tanya wrote me and asked me to edit her English before publication. She said that, if that were too much trouble, next next she'd write in German and have it translated. I told her it was a pleasure to be the language editor, and I really appreciated her contribution. As you can tell, the report reflects a lot of thought about a lot of good work.

    Regards,
    Michael
    P.S. I've pestered another IWC executive for a special contribution too. That hopefully will be published here next week, and again in English.

    Just put it into a Google translator...

    it might not be accurate but it will be good enough to get the ideas across.
