Life with the MIH...

 
 By: craniotes : November 2nd, 2012-10:22
This is one that I've wanted ever since it was introduced back in 2005, thanks in no small part to Magnus' terrific coverage of its development and unveiling; Daniel's ringing endorsements didn't hurt much, either. Now that I have it on my wrist, all I ca...  

Thank you for the review ...

Great watch, not perfect (nothing is) as you pointed but this is a very desirable one. I don't see the 7750 usage as a drawback but as a plus, since this makes the long term maintenance a simple matter. Cheers, Nilo

GREAT WATCH!

I continue to lust for it's sibling, an Ochs and Junior... they have a lot in common, but this one is by now, classic, to me. Love it--love minimalism, and love choices off the beaten path. I can't seem to want anything by any major house currently. I adm... 

I'm a huge fan of O und J...

...and I hope to add one to my stable before long. In the meantime, I'll settle for the MIH. ;-) Regards, Adam PS - I hear you regarding the established manufactures. While there are still a few pieces from the big names that I'm eyeballing, I find myself... 

Agreed...

I'm actually a fan of the 7750, even in its base form, so I applaud its use in the MIH. In fact, I find that it fits perfectly with the overall honesty and lack of pretention that is the calling card of this watch. Rgards, Adam

A watch that is the minimum and maximum at the same time.

A simple, beautiful minimalist design that makes it easy to read. A watch with an annual calendar and a chronograph makes it a maximum of function. Certainly one of my grails. Congrats Craniotes!

Thank you!

It feels great to finally have it on my wrist where it belongs. Now, here's to you putting one on yours! Regards, Adam

Adam, it's a watch I have admired for a long time.

Thank you, Jed!

I have always been a fan of the MIH watch. So inventive and clever

Thank you for sharing your thoughts Adam. Fantastic post. Best wishes, Joel

"Clever" is a great way to describe this piece...

 
 By: craniotes : November 7th, 2012-11:36
Thanks for the kind words, Joel. We miss you over "there". Regards, Adam

It doesn't surprise me at all that you like this watch so much.

We have the same admiration ofr its father.... And honestly, the concept behind this watch iqs really great. As for the minimalist style, it is part of the concept. Impressive and extemly appealing look. Yes, I wonder why I didn't get one, yet... I will, ... 

One of these days, Nico...

I'm sure we'll be seeing pics of it on the rooftops of Paris soon enough! Regards, Adam

the MIH is a watch i was happy to buy brand new

 
 By: G99 : November 4th, 2012-11:45
Have had mine since 2008 i think, it might be 2009 and i used to wear it a lot. I really should wear it more as it is a great watch to wear being lightweight yet having all the information you need for any day of the year except one. My only imperfect bit... 

Thank you, Graham...

 
 By: craniotes : November 7th, 2012-11:38
Your glowing opinion of the MIH certainly helped in my decision to acquire one. Will I ever lose my love for it? Never. Regards, Adam

You may put it to...

 
 By: G99 : November 7th, 2012-11:43
You may put it to one side for a while, but will always love it again when you put it back on. I put mine on after reading your post and havent worn it since july. Its still on now. G On Nov 7, 2012 7:38 PM, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosi... 

Congratulation to this wonderful piece, Adam.

one that is on my list as well - unfortunately the list is still long. (i wonder it gets ever any shorter...) I had the chance to see Paul Gerber's workshop a year or so ago....shame i didn't take any pictures! I can only say that Paul is a admirably frie... 

Lucky man!

 
 By: craniotes : November 7th, 2012-11:39
What I'd do to be able to visit Paul's atelier, or simply walk down the block and check out the full line of Ochs un Junior pieces... Sigh. Regards, Adam

You're quite welcome!

 
 By: craniotes : November 7th, 2012-11:40
They're not getting any cheaper, so what are you waiting for? Get on it! Regards, Adam

I love mine, but it has one depressing aspect

 
 By: cazalea : November 7th, 2012-15:11
It lies there mutely, reminding you of EXACTLY when you last wore it! Can it really have been more than 90 days? I have got to put mine on now! That didn\'t take long, did it? Cheers. Cazalea ...
