Thought I’d share my latest acquisition, the real deal and affordable mechanical Annual calendar chronograph. Designed and executed by Dr. Ludwig and Paul Gerber, true modern day horology geniuses/master watchmakers.

latitude and longitude coordinates of the Musee Industree Horologique

42mm Ti case wears great.

Chrono' 30 sec counter viewed from the back

Congrats!

I like the clean design

Psmith · 24 July 2012, 07:22 PM

Congrats, that's such an interesting piece. The hands are cool, especially the floating seconds hand

caryyee · 24 July 2012, 07:31 PM

Wow, that's pretty nice, love the clean look!

WatchTimes · 24 July 2012, 10:44 PM

Congrats!
I purchased mine just about 2 years ago now on my honeymoon in Switzerland.
Its a GREAT watch!
Mine does not get as much wear as it used to but it will never leave my collection!

How did you acquire yours? Did it come with the really high end packaging??? Their packaging makes many companies envious ;)

warren G. · 24 July 2012, 11:01 PM

Congrats, one of my favorite watch.

md543678 · 24 July 2012, 11:06 PM

I love the look of this watch and then when you said its a chronograph, I must get one now. Where and how much, this watch is sweet!!!! Clean and simple just like me.

Got mine form a good guy on TZ.
I'd be happy even if the watch comes wrapped in a newspaper.

Bought mine in person from Embassy and it
was a GREAT experience! I have never dealt
with such a great dealer!

Great addition Drew!

How do you like the rubber strap?
I was convinced I was going to go and get something aftermarket ASAP
but its been 2 years now and I am still wearing the rubber... I think it
is one of the most comfortable rubber straps out there.

I still remember the smile on my face when I walked out of Embassy in Luzern.
I put my Rolex Exp II I was wearing in my pocket and off I went to get a great
meal in Luzern with my new wife and my new MIH haha.....

Love the rubber strap! Comfy and perfectly suited for the watch. I'm telling you...this thing well thought out from A -Z.
Thgis watch watch is a bit of a departure from my typical taste but I’m really diggin’ it so far.

WatchTimes · 29 July 2012, 07:19 AM

Don't know if you have seen this or not but its one of the best write ups on the MIH I have seen.

http://www.ornatus-mundi.ch/artikel_12/artikel_12_1.htm

I do not think I could ever sell my MIH as it was bought on our honeymoon but I can't even see myself wanting to sell it, even if I only wear it a couple times a month its such a great unique versatile undercover watch.

warren G. · 29 July 2012, 12:42 PM

I think I find my next watch. I always wanted one. grrrrrrrrr
