Agreed don't really understand the jumping second complication on the HabringSerlo wrote:Indeed!!! A "kleine Habring", i.e. the 36mm version has been on my list for years, but without a "foudroyante" second hand. That's what Quartz watches are good at and I don't need this complication. I'm in a curmudgeonly mood today...

Re: The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread
I understand the Lange has better finishing and movement.watchstudent wrote:^ that GO is beautiful, maybe the best looking in the world for me is the Lange 1 and so the GO "pano" watches are pretty gorgeous. Think i prefer a power reserve though:
But I prefer the GO Pano designs to the Lange 1's. The date is on the same plane and the moonphase window is a great shape. It looks a little more casual while the Lange is more flashy/formal with the gold indices and hands.

Re: The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread
Have you also heard about Montre Exacte? This is a small Austrian company that produce a "Viertelwatch" = Quarterwatch with a retrograde second hand:

Niederösterreich is divided into five regions: Weinviertel, Mühlviertel, Mostviertel, Waldviertel and Industrieviertel...
Viertel actually means a "quarter" and the founder of the company has developed this movement so as to metaphorically/technologically allude to the region (Weinviertel) the watch is being produced in.

Thanks Serlo, an interesting read about the company(once translated). Never seen the 1/4 retrograde before.
Many thanks, Nick.

Thanks for posting this Blowfish - one of the best horizontal aligned two sub dial chronographs I have seen in a long while. Although the back is not as nice as the PLM, it's not ugly.

Are you sure it's an actual reality, real watch you can pick up, hold and wear?Serlo wrote:...Have you also heard about Montre Exacte? This is a small Austrian company that produce a "Viertelwatch" = Quarterwatch with a retrograde second hand:

I ask as the website appears not updated...

Not sure my resolve of not buying a watch for a year or two will last, I really want a diver (ideally a blue one at that). Anyone have experience of this watch (Seiko "Sumo" SBDC003)

Stop with the GO!
You are not helping my "no watches until mid-year" resolution...
My current favourite is this one:
But I also like it in this colour combination:
Still haven't seen one for real though.
