What a great story, thx a lot for sharing!
That reminds me of my student days 25 years ago while i saved every month some money to buy my first "real" watch. Well, this Kairos is still with me today and is NOT for sale...
Unfortunately I wasn't able to met Gerd Rüdiger in these days although i'm also a big fan of classic cars and have attended a lot of those events as a spectator (Sachsen Classic).
Chronoswiss has awakened my serious love for mechanical watches to this day. I will always be grateful for that. Cheers from Germany!
