Little independent brand from Germany not sure what you want to know.

I bought a 99.0 back in maybe 2007??, I don´t remember. Back then they didn’t have a real distribution network, I picked mine up in a hotel lobby from the owner himself who stayed there to attend a trade show the next day.

I really like their simple designs and back then the watch was decently priced around 2000€. It uses a standard ETA, I guess 6498 calibre which is nicely decorated. Overall nothing fancy, I guess resell value is really bad but I tend to keep all my watches.

Thanks very much.

I’m almost embarrassed at how taken aback I was when I saw one. I almost thought it was a Lange.

Excellent. Congrats.

What kind of timeline did they give you?

The design language is rather similar but they are much bulkier.
