You might get what you do not expect, though :)
Several car manufacturers are consistently pushing for branded tyres, even if they are manufactured by the tyre firms. Porsche is amongst them.

Looks beautiful
I especially like the open structure where the balance wheel is placed held by that beautiful bridge. And that matte glass dial of the second hand is brilliant! Why hasn't that been done before? Love that second hand too btw. The execution of this watch s...
Thanks for the introduction
Always excited to learn more about new candidates for the AHCI. What strikes me about Kim\'s watch is a sense of "playfulness" when it comes to the design. The use of depth, the engraving, off-center seconds, very fine ratchet wheel teeth finishing, etc. ...
