As a follow up to Raph's post below on vintage pieces........
I would like to share a photo essay on my vintage 18K YG Chronoswiss Kairos Chronograph with the famous Val 72 movement. In fact, this is the only YG piece I have!
This is one of my favourites in my humble collection and certainly my favourite Chronoswiss timepiece. I am actually on the look out for the Vintage Chronoswiss Complete Calendar with Val 88 movement!
Enjoy the pics!
Thanks for viewing and please pardon for my poor photo taking skill! :P
what i like about Chronoswiss is the new cases with vintage movements
Chronoswiss make a speciality of putting modified vintage movements into their pieces and Gerd Lange has a huge supply of NOS movements in storage awaiting the correct watch to put them in.
my Delphis has apparently a 1940-50's Enicar calibre in it, but it has been stripped down and rebuilt as good as new. a great use of movements which might otherwise be binned. lots of other smaller companies are now doing this. RGM are using Hamilton p/watch calibres in their watches with great results.
i now have several watches which are new, but with vintage movements.
enjoy
