Clarity on the second hand
I just got mine as well. Like others, a little bigger than expected...but I like it.
Just so I'm clear on the sweep (seconds) hand:
It is really just there for the chronograph feature? My understanding is I can leave it running all the time if I care about reading seconds or just leave it in the stopped state and it the watch will run fine.
Any potential issues if I leave it running all the time? Wear and tear?
MIH arrival
Hi All, Thought I'd share the eagerly anticipated arrival of my MIH watch this morning. For once I'm on the receiving end of a new watch for my collection. Well worth the wait, an amazing value and a lovely watch if you like the modern styling. As my dail...
Congratulations Tim on adding this modern classic to your collection.
Although the styling of the MIH is quite different from that of PSM Piccadilly, I do see they share something in common: simplicity and elegance, both aesthetically and technically.
Beautiful!
Tim -- Congrats! A lovely looking piece, and one I'm glad to see you add to your collection. After all of the joy you've brought many of us, it's always a pleasure to see you capture a special piece for your own. I'll look forward to seeing it! Best, Gary...
Much better watch close ups...
Taken by my friend Kathlena, who is much more adept at taking good pics. Not an easy watch to photograph with the black dial, Enjoy, Cheers, Tim Close up of 30 minute counter...
Cool watch. One person at the lunch table at SIHH was wearing one!
And guess who it was? Beat Haldimann from Embassy, the same AD who you purchased yours from. Cheers, Anthony
I thought you would be wearing this....
You would loose the complications, but I can build an adaptor plate for the PSM dial above to the MIH. We could call it "Oh MIH God". Call me. MIH is a great watch and a contribution to a worthy cause. Thanks for the post. DaveB...
Congrats!
The Bauhaus styling doesn't work for some people, but it is a great watch that can't be overlooked and for a good cause too. Enjoy, Don
The MIH is manufactured by Paul Gerber Zurich. When he visited me he wore it pics inside>
Paul visited me last year in France and we had a great time together. Here you have 2 pics, one Paul and me and one with the wrists of him and me. Enjoy and warm regards Lord Arran...
Great pics...
Lord Arran, One of my things I'm sorry I failed to do while in Basel this year, was to meet Paul Gerber, each time I swung by the AHCI stand, he was deep in conversation with enthusiasts or clients. I have a friend who has one of his tonneau shaped large ...
Thanks for kind words...
100 meters water resistance according to the papers. the winding crown is screw down. The back of the case is screwed down by 12 screws. It is a tripartite (three piece) case. Very comfortable to wear. Cheers, Tim
Fantastic piece...
did you have to wait long to recieve it..?? Wear in the best of health. Yours, Andy.
Beautiful watch, really a brave one
I don't follow contemporary watches that closely, but it's hard to miss how complicated they are beginning to Look, even those without much horological complication. Your watch has a very interesting complication but looks totally sedate. Just elegant!
Nice piece, Tim
Hi Tim, Congratulations, and thanks everyone for the pix. Now I know I made the right decision. Mine arrives in the Fall. Ron
Not sure of water resistance, but not too too deep
Hi and congratulations on your watch. I have one too, almost a year old now. I can't recall seeing too many gaskets in pictures of the watch. I've splashed around the house with mine but not put my hand under water (so far!) My cat loves to grab it by the...
