I remember the blue dial version few years ago. Got in touch with Tutima wanting to purchase directly from them, the correspondence somehow didn’t go quite well so I passed.
I am pleased to share a newly acquired timepiece. Tutima has interested me for many years. When I saw this grey version of the updated Patria, it was a must try. Through some very fortunate connections, here it is. My initial thoughts on the quality is th...
Lovely hands and lovely movement. Sincere congratulations Michael, thanks for sharing these pictures with us, I haven't thought of Tutima in 'eons'.... 🙂👌
So far, it is running extremely accurate, and as posted, the winding action is a real pleasure. Maybe not quite the same feast for the eyes as my old Glashutte Chronometer, but still impressive (especially at the price).
I first came to know about the Patria when it came out with the blue dial, I liked it quite a bit but was worried it may wear too big. The recent gray dial and Titanium case reminded me about this piece, I have to say it is really attractive, as I love bo...
seriously funny. Here is the screenshot from my phone of the cover of your post. Now I’m no expert on bras per se. I have tried to take them off various women in my youth, but I was unaware that they were tiered as you point out. 😂 ...

Looks very nice indeed 👌🏻👍🏻 Can you tell us more about the movement? Fun fact, if I recall correctly, the founder of Tutima used to live in the villa that Kari Voutilainen has his home and atelier in these days 😊
31mm x 4.78mm, 3/4 plate, Breguet hairspring, and 3 screw mounted gold chatons for a few of the jewels. 65 hour power reserve. And delightful to wind! Cool fact about the villa!
This watch punches way above its weight. Judging by the pictures it’s extremely well executed and the finishing is very impressive for this brand! I’m sure it’s a pleasure to wind… Does it have hacking seconds?
But Peter, as honest as I can write this, the quality feels every bit as good. No knock whatsoever on AP, but high praise for this well priced German watch!
It is a beautiful watch. German watchmaking showing what it’s capable of. The guilloché of the dial, the crown, the small seconds, the 3/4 bridge, there are many features to enjoy! Thanks for sharing. René
I have owned a few German watches over the years and have never been disappointed. I started with a Jorg Schauer Edition 10 ( and what a mistake to have traded that one years ago). Glashutte Original, the senator chronometer is a wonderful timepiece. And ...
I think Glashütte Original is under appreciated when you compare the horological value and fine details for the price. Let’s not even talk about Lange! Which is on par or maybe even better than comparable watches from Patek. And there are many entry level...
