I got my first german chrono when i was 6 or so (my granddad always had one in the shelf). I would love to add a Lange at some point, though. They are in my mind the serious guy's watch choice.
I have a few German watches over the years too, but didn't venture far away from the mainstream brands.
Singling out just one is dangerous but the ALS Moonphase with blue strap elicited a "wow" from me Here is my sole contribution to this thread. GO LunarInverse. It was love at first sight with this one. Thanks for starting up this topic. M4
You my friend have a stunning and inspirational German collection Gerard! I love how they are thoughtfully organized in your first grid picture. Then you share the name , and an interesting tidbit on each one alone. Very nice choices! I too am a huge fan of Germans and have owned many including DEKLA, Stowa, Archimede, Sinn, LACO, Damasko, NOMOS, GO, and ALS! In my journey, I’ve learned that most Germans punch WAY above their weight, and there is some serious value to be had in the $1-$2k range.
I have 3 from L&H.
