Great collection

I agree that these are vastly underrated watches for the quality of construction and design. The assymetric military lemania cases have a wonderfully solid and distinctive feel. I recently got my TG195 serviced and the watchmaker commented afterwards on the quality of the watch, saying he found it hard to get the dustcover back on afterwards because of the tight fit, proving that modern manufacturing techniques are not essential to achieve extraordinary build-quality tolerances.

There is a surprising variety, but the functionality always shows through. Those watches are definitely not toys.

Very nice Ludi

Being in the UK I seem to have picked up a few of these over the years. Lemania's heritage as a military and professional watch is amazing. My oldest is the Czech issued pilots watch. Theone I like to wear the most is the two button. The last one is proba...
