Something unusual...3615
Good afternoon all,
As you may have seen I was finally reunited with my collection of watch books after a prolonged move. I was flipping through Wristwatches by Kahlert and came across these photos of the 3615. It's such a rare beast, with almost no Google image results, that I thought I'd share these quick iPhone scans of the movement. The extent of the black polish is truly exceptional. What a watch!!
Full credit due to the authors Kahlert, Mühe, and Brunner.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Brandon

Hello Brandon
Thank you for these lovely pictures of such amazing mouvements. I have a book called "Mouvement" from Guido Mocafico (Steidl Edition) which is really nice too. A quick shot of the cover sheet. Best wishes Alkiro ...

I think it's amazing to think about the market forces at the time of this creation. To my knowledge, no other brand was making watches like this in the 80s. Glad you enjoyed! Brandon
