I mean just the contrary...
Not the round dial, the rectangular one, with applied roman numbers, which is the correct and the only one for the platinum cabaret black dial. Best, Nicolas.
Glashutte
Glashutte was a very active city in textile and in silver mining of the Ore Mountains but these two activities collapsed. This lead to the settlement of the watchmaking manufacture which started its activity in 1845, in order to give a new dynamic to this...
