simple pleasures
just a convenient watch to travel light, and a memory from simpler horological times ...
Very cool. It is those integrated bracelets that are a challenge with time.
Lost hope ever finding a correct bracelet but I did convert a second one to strap. ...
Looks wonderful, crisp and simple
I assume you had the dial and hands replaced at some point with the newer luminova version (?)
You just reminded me…
I have a similar one from the era, sadly doesn’t get a lot of wrist time… But as you said, light and a good travel companion 🌍 ...
i love this 'half red' seconds hands !
a Big memory for me was the Braun alarm clock of my father. first Bauhaus exposure
Funny term, that…
Invented by the British in the 19th century to point to inferior quality - and backfiring badly. Sadly way past its prime in the meantime 🤷🏻♂️
That was before the legendary video of Martin Winterkorn…
Trying out the steering wheel adjustment mechanism on a Hyundai at a car show 😁
Not only that…
The culture of fear and absolute obedience partially led to the downfall 🤷🏻♂️
🤣🤣🤣
Many tend to be past the Bali age, in which case they have made it 😁 For the others, life doesn’t become that much easier these days - the heydays are over 🤷🏻♂️
That came much later…
The made in Germany moniker was coined shortly after unification in the 19th century, way before the split prior to WW2 👍🏻
A very distinct design language…
Both the Brain clock you mentioned and the Porsche Design IWC era. Miss that period 😊🤷🏻♂️
My petite travel watch says Hi!
These watches from IWC may be small (I own both), but they are sooo comfy. The chrono with the „Desmopan“-strap has been my travel-watch for many years. The strap is incredibly durable with no wear or tear since > 10 years. ...
Just remember: strap is also not interchangeable.
You need to cut it to size and thats it. Only one chance to fit it without IWC-service.
