894tom Posted December 25, 2007 Report 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?
POTR Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 Basically it says: NEW PILOT WATCH!!! Here is the new pilot watch from Heinrich Geisen 1896. Wanted by many, the watch is also available without signature in a special series of 50 pieces. The watch uses a Durowe 7420 movement, and sapphire glass. On black or brown strap with rivet. The diameter of the watch is 42mm. Housing is matt perlage engraved. The price

Pugwash Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 Found the perfect watch. Perfect apart from the fact the dial is off-axis?

POTR Posted December 25, 2007 Report 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

894tom Posted December 26, 2007 Author Report Posted December 26, 2007 Can a dial be made up with no seconds hand? No name on dial? Superluminova on hands and dial? Genuine ETA 6497 movement? Things are starting to sound good now I wish....I wish......I wish
