This is the case of the Carl F. Bucherer Manero Chronoperpetual – a flyback chronograph and perpetual calendar with leap year and moon phase (no manual correctionContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes“I’ve always regarded the watch as an extension of the human body. A living presence on the wrist; a delicate organ that measures our time.” Emanuel Dietrich I decided to start this post by quoting Mr Dietrich not only because it is a truth credo for every watch lover and collector butContinue Reading

Reading Time: 2 minutesThere is almost a year since I wrote about the Grönefeld 1941 Remontoire and almost a year and a half since I’ve asked Tim and Bart Grönefeld if they intend to do a collaboration and with whom (Short question, short answer).
