    Simple and beautiful. I fell in love the moment I saw it.

    The case says "sturdy elegance" to me. Straight forward, unadorned beauty. Very nice!

    Is that a modern dial installed on a vintage 40's 12.68Z inside a redone WWII era case? That's a nice looking watch. Bauhaus is the perfect style for it.

    It doesn't look like it's had a screw turned to me.

    Nice one Michael. There's nothing quite like blued hands to lift a watch to another level :thumbsup:

    What does "Bauhaus" style mean?

    The "Bauhaus" was a German movement of design and architecture in the 1920s which revolutionized design and created a very streamlined style with a lasting impact for decades.
    So by "Bauhaus" one generally refers to 1920s-1930s objects with clean geometric lines ( although in truth the style inspired all modern designs).

    It also helps those of us over 50 yrs old be able to tell the time on a light face watch!

    Wow, and it just dawned on me it has one of those early mineral glasses, whose profile fits so nicely with the stepped case.

    Guess @LarryG described it best....

    This is just a stunning watch. Clean simple lines, Bauhaus is right. Nomos could not match this look!

    The size and condition are extraordinary but it is the overwhelming beauty of the dial that impresses me most. The contrasting tone of the central sector is fabulous. It is difficult to imagine a more perfect watch.

    I have one with the same numerals.
