894tom Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I'm searchin for a good pilot watch with center seconds. Found the perfect watch. http://www.heinrichgeisen1896.com/ Don't know if he's still in business. I don't speak or read German or else I would find more out about him on his website. Does RWG have any bilingual members that speak German and English that can act as a translator? It looks like the watch is handwound, center seconds, 42 mm, 10mm thick. Beautiful. Tourby was gonna do something like this I think. Anyone know how he's making out with his project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POTR Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 The watch brand Heinrich Geisen 1896 has been in existance for 6 years (in 2004, the date of the website). Named after his granddad (and maybe Granddad's birthday), and the owners name is... Wolfgang Schumacher Br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
