I decided to bring this on my little jaunt to the east coast instead of the Nomos Atlantik...Don't worry, it's set to the correct date today.




And I'll be wearing this beauty also this week...an all original 1962 Thunderbird Datejust 1625 which my father never seems to wear.

It's just an extension of the tachymeter onto the second rotation of the chronograph second hand. There must have been something significant about 50, because that's a feature of all the later Eberhard chronographs. Perhaps 50kph was a speed limit?

50 km/h is the urban speed limit in Italy, the Eberhard's natural environment, but who puts a speed limit on a chronograph? That can't be a selling point, especially in Italy, except maybe to the carabinieri. 50 km/h is for horses and bicycles. I think it was just an excuse to put a little red pop on the dial. Some of those contodats have red date wheels, and it would have made a nice balance.

Heading out for family GTG to celebrate the Queen's Birthday.
Feeling rather sporty (didn't get her anything).

You read it wrong, it says "you're a patient more, as you get older".
