Horological Meandering

Well, after (slow!) German post, import duty, handling charges, service & repair (of a movement the seller said was new old stock, but isn't), the watch is finally on my wife's wrist. She likes it ... so she says.

Just bought a 'bitzer' - bits of this and bits of that - but it does have a Landeron cal. 48 movement and new-old-stock dial & case (35mm). Am quite pleased, I think. Mind you, it's still in Germany and I'm in the UK. Time will tell.

I like it!

Especially the lugs!

Well, my intuition was right. 19 days after buying the watch, it's still in Germany. Thanks primarily to a servant of Zeus, whose website heralds nothing. (Please forgive the enigmatic reference. I can't name the courier.)

The dial is so classic, love it!

Steal it to your wife. I am sure you will love it, too.

:-) Yes, it is a charming piece: pre-WWII, 34.8mm mixture of stainless steel & chromed metal, traditionally blued hands, a two-level dial of lovely colours and keeping surprisingly good time.
