AHCI member Rainer Nienaber showed the full range of his retrograde watches.
Mr. Nienaber offers custom dials and hands for his customers.


Note here the brown color titanium hands.  This is from a heat treatment like bluing steel, only at a much higher temperature.

the double retrograde is great, the tri retro a bit on the confusing side, but i could get used to it.

thanks Don, something else to go on the never ending list.

Don, I don't recall seeing before a ruby hole jewel on any watch dial. Is there any functional purpose for it on the watches you've shown? Best regards, Jack Freedman

I'm sure this is the first time I've ever seen "browned" titanium hands.  That's pretty unique and does add dimension to the dial, as does all the various guilloche/engine turning techniques on display.  Thanks for sharing these watches with us.

Cheers,
Daos

Somehow I forgot these nice Regulators yesterday

It looks like a naval instrument of some kind, as if it belonged festooned on the desk of a ship's
captain- I want. That case design is just perfect, the ultimate. It's how I always imagined a naval
chronometer for the wrist!

Rainer definitely seems like the master of retrograde style. Didn't he have a watch a while back that
was hours, minutes, & seconds all as retrograde, if I remember correctly?
