Benjamin Clymer in Timex Sunday, September 19, 2010 at 8:35PM IWC Mark XI Sold Online December 11, 1998The IWC Mark XI is one of Schaffhausen's most legendary and sought after watches.It was created in the late 1940s for the British MOD.It was made for a little over 30 years and included stints as the official watch of the British, South African, Aussie, and Kiwi fighting forces.
It also was given to all Quantas Airline pilots for a brief period.There have been several different iterations of the Mark XI, many of which have their own Replica Cartier watches stories of military adventure behind them.That, however, is not what we are going to talk about today.What we (as products of a generation that was born digital) find most interesting about the Mark XI is that it was the first watch to be auctioned online, ever.Beginning December 1, 1998 and lasting through December 11, 1998, IWC themselves placed a 1957 Mark XI up for auction on their own corporate website.
Viewers could select between English and German languages, and IWC CEO Michael P.Sarp called the Internet auction "a breakthrough for the Replica Omega watches industry" and one from which he expected "a lot of feedback."And he was right.The Mark XI on the block sold for a significantly inflated price of $12,500.This was also around the same time that a small startup out of California called AuctionWeb changed their name to eBay and decided to go public.It isn't clear when the first watch on eBay was sold.
