I received an e-mail this morning . . .

. . . from Roger G, who gave me a heads-up about this latest development from Dirk. I was excited to hear the news, and asked my colleague, AHCI moderator Don C, if he or Oliver could visit Kalbe to report on this development.
Now, several hours later, I check back into the forums, only to find you've already posted the news! Thank you, Jocke, and my respects to Dirk and his team on raising the bar. I used to describe Dornblüth as my favorite micromanufactuer. Well, that's still true, but now, they're an honest-to-gosh fully-fledged manufacturer.
Deeply impressed,

Great pictures. Thank you. The emotions shown during the 'hug' father and son tell a lot about them. Pfff !! Very tempting Damo

I'm annoyed....
By: johnswatch1 : September 24th, 2012-02:39
I had asked Dirk a while ago if there were plans to produce a 38mm model with power reserve at 12 and at the time he said no...... This is the perfect development and I absolutely love the watch. My annoyance is that I've just commited to purchase a diffe...

of this emotional, if decorous and ceremonial event, including some truly fine shots of the workshop, pieces, and the Quintus itself! And huge apologies for thinking that you were merely dedicated to macro-photography, with some carefully composed backgro...

Hi Jocke, The movement looks very impressive - very German. How's the winding mechanism? Smooth? Good size at 38mm. Regards Ling
