After months of intensive research, the folks at Linde Werdelin have replied to a PuristS query about the evolution of the different product families.
How many families are there?
How are they related?
How many pieces were madel?
First is the overall map and then I broke down the sections into bigger scale for more details.
There are 4 families of Watches and 1 family of Instruments stemming from the Founders' Watch in 2004; so now we know

These are very interesting, and useful charts.
Very nice of LW to provide PPro with this. Got my attention, at least Ken
Davo, Yes - sorry about the break-up of the map into sections but there was so much detailed information to be seen. We would need a big screen monitor of 55 inches to see it on one page! MTF
who asked about the evolution of the different models and the numbers of production for the editions. Hey! We even held a contest about the reasons for certain Ltd Edn numbers e.g. 51 pieces of the White Watch for ladies? The winner has not revealed what prizes he won yet.........I think he lives in Australia. Answer: the global fraction of female population is 51%. Regards, MTF
Hans, but we can accept that the charts are great and the brand is interesting. They still have a few bugs to work out for the chronograph dial design, that may appear in series B. Regards, MTF This message has been edited by MTF on 2011-07-29 18:07:54
a test. Besides, many of the usual suspects have been only too KEEN to justify their illustrious heritage......er....patrimony. There are countless books and coffee table tomes on the subject. Regards, MTF
