    Forgot this one in my previous post. Bit faded but for some reason (including the case and silvery dial) it’s one of my favorite watches.

    Nice, very similar to the Helvetia shock/waterproof 1930s cases.

    And just to add my latest, just picked up, which goes between the first two to complete the set.

    A little shy of the 30-34mm parameter of this thread at 28mm, but I agree with Syrte, the Mido Multifort epitomizes "small things radium and beautiful". This one recently found its way to me and got a little TLC from my WM. These Multifort cases are beautifully sculpted, IMHO.

    I think this wins the prize in the category small things radium and beautiful. I’ve had it for a couple years but oh well, decided to bring it out.
    next to a « regular » tank of the same era for comparison.

    Love your style @Syrte

    Thank you. The rivet saffiano strap was made bespoke by Atelier Jean Rousseau. I supplied the rivets and the design and I really appreciate their willingness to go along with unusual projects at a very reasonable price considering the complexity and quality of their work.

    Love to see this thread alive again. I have also added more radium to my collection since last check-in.
