They look interesting, vintage inspired yet quite modern at the same time. I really like the grey version and I wonder how the sunburst finish looks in real life.

There are plenty of live pictures on the German Nomos forum:

The new Chronoscope looks nice, too.

Hm. I like them less live. Look quite plasticy, if that's a word.

I like these a lot but the price will be the clincher for me... price these well and they have themselves a customer!

That's a miss for me, but you gotta love Junghans for their styling flair.

Thanks for posting that link. The chronoscopes look really nice.

The price will be interesting - Junghans are usually reasonable.
