it is well over a year I've taken pics of this timepiece, yet the simplicity of this timepiece is something still in my memory !

what is not to love on this...blue hands, chronometer movement, railroad-minute tracker...no nonsense dial !!

it is hard to improve something so simple & classic, isn't it ?







Best,

If I would dream of a way to make it irresistible then I would try to boost the energy of this beautiful yet (maybe too) classic dial. With some more contrast and a touch of colour somewhere I am sure it could become a truly irresistible one... What do you think ?

This is one of the most under rated German brands. And you know my weakness for a simple three handed watch!

the RED gives a great contrast to the dial color + the blue hands really brighten up well captured & well chosen too ! Best, mahesh.,

we happened to meet the watchmakers in last Paris GTG (end-2019)...very nice people ! simple timepieces with chronometer performance + classic dials on top - showstopper in deed ;-) Best, mahesh.,
