Their initial impressions highlight the watch's striking aesthetics and historical inspiration, drawing attention to its unique dial color and vintage-inspired case design. This piece offers a valuable first look for collectors considering this limited-edition timepiece.

Had the pleasure of seeing this striking, beautiful piece irl. Annual calendar chronograph 188 piece edition whose dial colour is inspired by a 1950s Lincoln owned by the Bucherer family. The watch is a recreation of a Bucherer chronograph of the same era, the period colour and case design pair incredibly well.
Looking good on both the bracelet and included strap. The dial work is pretty impressive too. I could easily see myself enjoying this one!

And I like the month indicator at 4:30. It’s fresh and unconventional. Best Thomas

They’re a pretty capable, authentic, manufacture. They’ve got so many details right with this model, the first two released in 2019 were 888 pieces. Now with only 188 we’re entering pretty exclusive numbers for a piece in this price category 🙂

Makes me wonder, was the one auctioned last year a prototype with a failed shade of blue? (Still, a piece unique!)
