Karree is one of the model I personally appreciate, solid with different polish on the case, design of the lugs, and the robust GUB 42 calibre for early model. Too bad the line shop for manufacture this beauty and I quite enjoy early hand-wounded rather than automatic✌️

The PC is very nice too, indeed. Best, Emmanuel
That’s interesting: thanks for sharing.
These models have a slightly more rounded or rather tonneau shape. Were they a second gen of the Senator Karrée, the first gen being more strictly rectangular? Best, Emmanuel
the first gen used more manual wind watches
