Horological Meandering

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'.... 🙂👌

That’s how I say it

Very, very impressive feel and quality level.

What metal is the movement made of? It looks really nice.

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... 

Now that I own the 41mm, which appears even a touch smaller, I think it is just right. Tutima probably should have reeled in the case size before.

That one is going to be a fun one to wear out and about!

And I wore it to church yesterday, on Sunday morning!

Nice movement too. Good choice, Michael.

Thanks, Henry!

The 1860 has a dial to die for.

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. 😂 ...  

What’s not to like? Congratulations!

As I think of some of the other beauties you own and enjoy.

Polished titanium has a cool luster.

In fact,this same watch has also raised my attention and I hope to be able to see it soon.

I find it very appealing from any angle. The monochrome look and Clous de Paris dial are fantastic ! Enjoy! Best, Emmanuel

I would welcome your further thoughts should you come across one up close.

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.

No pun intended here, but the Tempostopp in particular

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?

I hope other WPS members give this collection a go!

The Parmigiani is on a bracelet of course. But I see them co-existing just fine

Looking excellent and I will take a peek at Tutima as well. Hope you enjoy it and post more! Peter

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!

. . . are the crème de la crème . Welcome to the club, Michael! Thrilled, Art ...  

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...
