The day I got my MIH
back in 2006, I realized there was a chance for a real person, working man, to have a hand-made watch put together by geniuses in a garage in Switzerland.
The Ochs und Junior confirmed it.
Alas I have not yet shed my compulsion to buy many watches rather than just one or three, so I have yet to step up to the real bespoke versions. But there is still time!

5 years after: The story of the MIH watch!
It started in 2003 with a humble prototype movement produced by - Dr. Ludwig Oechslin. The idea was to create a watch that was not only technically uniqie, but also doubles as a fund raiser for the Musée International d'Horlogerie, La-Chaud-De-Fonds, wher...
Is the Table Clock available..??
I have seen Grahams MIH many times and it is a nice piece...I don't understand the point of the chrono on the back and wish it was just an annual calendar but that's just me. The clock however I do like....is this available..?? If not could this be the MI...
Theoretically YES...
but I would contact Beat Weinmann at Embassy regarding availability. Paul Gerber's small workshop is always very busy and thus I don't know about his actual production resources. The clock btw features Paul's in-house handwound 8-days table-clock movement...
Here's my "Special" MIH
SIGNED err...engraved with Mr. Gerber's signature on the back! (One of two pieces made I was told.)...
To me, that is a super watch!
This is the ONLY watch that I bought with a decision made without having a second thought and without asking about its price first. I really like the ingenious and honest element in MIH watch. Thanks Magnus for the story. Regards Ling
That makes two of us
I did hesitate whether I brought cash. P.S. I'm still thinking about the noodle soup on that night ... Tyler
Tyler, we must do a head count on MIH owners in Malaysia
Any idea about the number? P/s: I am glad that you like the noodle soup after the fine dinning in the Italian Restaurant. Totally a different experience. To me, that noodle soup is the best in KL. Regards Ling
At least two more.
One owner is within our group of friends but the other one can't be identified as the original owner sold it locally and made some profits. Regards Ling
I own one too!
Hi, just thought I'd drop a line to say that I'm from Malaysia (KL) and I'm a proud owner of the MIH watch too! Rgds Elijah
thanks for reminding us of its background Magnus
i personally love my MIH and if i could only have 1 watch i think i would choose this as it does pretty much everything you need. i clearly remember the day i got mine in 2008. sadly the O&J watches dont sing to me like the MIH. the MIH clock however is a...
