Thanks for the link - always interested in learning more about watches. This one is pretty pedestrian in looks but I like the story about the company and the idea of using the stem for all the controls is also interesting. I'm just not into watches that have day-date-month as if they were Chrono functions so this one leaves me a little cold.:?

Another Brand using their own in-house Swiss movement is Balmer which are sold on SAH by Tim Temple...I had a chance to speak with both Tim/SAH and John House who is a partner in this manufacturer with a ex-Patek Philipe Watchmaker who produces the movements...what is unique to the Balmer Wacthes besides their own Swiss Movements(link attached) is that they have complications..day/date/gmt etc. and instead of pushers to set them the Crown/Winding stem pulls out to 4 positions and all the complications can be set with the Crown alone...pretty cool imo!cool10.gif
