20,000 HITS AND COUNTING!  0 Comments

Published Monday, April 17, 2006 by Harry SK Tan |

 

In six months since the launch of this humble watch blog in October 2005, WatchingHorology.com has managed 20,000 hits according to SiteMeter. For those who come back regularly to visit the blog and read my posts - my personal thanks and gratitude for allowing me to share my thoughts and photography on watches with you. Many have written to me direct to tell me how much they have enjoyed my site and often I get requests for help and advice. I have endeavoured to help as many as I can - within my means.

One request is worth sharing. It is a wonderful anecdote about a descendant of Mr FA Jones, the founder of IWC- who recently emailed me after he found my blog online. He wanted to find out more about the IWC founder as he does not have any information about the man. He wanted to know more about his ancestor who left the US to create the IWC brand. I have since connected him directly with IWC.ch and Mr Michael Friedberg (moderator of the official IWC Forum). I hope his journey in discovering IWC and the man FA Jones will lead him to appreciate the legacy of the watchmaker and visionary. It will be great to rejoin IWC with the current descendants of the founder. It makes for a wonderful story.
