vianney halter classic....  it is slightly bigger than what you have in mind but do a search in this website under the AHCI forum and invest a little time to see if the watch and the amazing passion of its creator appeals to you.  It will also be a good hunt as the watch is at the end of its production (or already).  If I may dare say, it will be a jewel in your collection

 By: Ginger : May 16th, 2008-14:35

Some suggestions...

1. Quartz vs. mechanical movement. The first is easy maintenance, the latter requires periodic maintenance but is preferred by most on this forum for a variety of reasons. 2. If mechanical movement: Manual vs. automatic (self) winding. Auto requires littl...
