So I have been slowly coming back on line here after getting back from Germany Sunday night. Great trip, went to Munich, Frankfurt, and Dresden. From Dresden there was a short train ride to... Very nice little town, and certainly watchmaking is it's business. Also picked up a new one for me, and one for my wife as well - will post some photos when I get time. Cheers, Al
If you are sick take the time to look after yourself - don't hurl yourself back into it before you are ready....
Indeed - if I'm not at the bench, I'm not making a living, so I have certainly been back to work. Trying not to do too much too soon, but there's lots to be done of course.... Cheers, Al
Okay a few pics of the new watches.... Mine on the right, my wife's on the left: And although these are not Lange or GO quality, the movements are very nicely done: Wrist shot of mine: Cheers, Al
For the money, I think Nomos are very good value for in-house movements. My Club runs flawlessly (and I wish it had an exhibition case back). I visited Wempe in the Frankfurt Airport a few weeks ago and got to see the models in person (finally). Next on my list, if I were in a buying mood, would be the Tetra (like your wife's new watch), probably with anthracite dial. I also like the slim, elegant boxes. I am not a big fan of the gargantuan box trend!
Very nice pieces Al! I am learning more about German watches, esp those from Glashutte...got started with this one I picked up last spring: Hope your trip was both interesting and restful!
