Dieter Dornblth had been repairing watches in Kalbe (located in Saxony-Anhalt in the former German Democratic Republic in Eastern Germany) since the 1960s. Dieters son, Dirk, graduated from watch making school in 1985 and, with his father, formed the D...  

and very nice watch Sincerest congrats on both counts dear Andrew Sincerely Damjan

... and thanks for your support and encouragement over those 12000 posts. Warm regards, Andrew

Thank you for review and nice pictures. Do not often review of this model. If I may,a few insignificant remarks. Front sapphire crystal is 1.0 mm thick as mentioned in the catalogue and were the second model from D.Dornblüth & Sohn. The first model w... 

... could be individualised by the owner with personal engravings. This is the original 'standard' case back. Thanks for the correction. The first Dornbluth movement developed by the Manufacture was indeed the Cal. 99.2. Appreciate your comments. Regards,... 

Andrew, As I mentioned on the Wrist Scan results, I'm impressed by the dial and now with the movement. Great idea to grab and vintage ETA and do an impressive face lift. Nice match between the past and future. My double congratulations, Nilo

... also adds to the interest in the old ETA movement. And Dirk has wrapped it in an appropriate package. It is a great combination. Pleased you liked the Jasmin. Andrew

I gave the identical configuration of that caliber to my daughter for an important birthday in 2011, and the two of us were just admiring it together earlier today!

I know you are a great Dornbluth supporter, Glickman, and that sounds like a special combination. Well done. Andrew

& an excellent review Andrew. I've mentioned before, it's a pleasure to deal with Dirk. Best Wishes Mally

This watch is absolutely my cuppa tea, a tad small for me though;) Love it, the dial with the sunburst guillochage, the blue heated hands. Lovely! Fits perfectly the delicate wrist of the lady:) Cheers Francois

... available in the Dornblith range, Francois, from 38mm to 42mm and there is a definite family resemblance if you like this style. Definitely worth a look. Thanks for your comments. Andrew

. . . the Jasmin's overall dimensions are comparable to many vintage watches, and as Andrew has noted, its profile is substantial. Art

41 degrees Celsius today!!!! Yes, you are correct it may well be the size of many Vintage Time-Pieces but that's why I don't purchase them:) or to be more humble, why I have not purchased one. Anything smaller than 36mm and I find it to small for my wrist... 

thanks. I am actually surprised thatDornblüth managed to make a women's watch while so perfectly adhering to your style. Looks good on your wife! Best Andrea

The watch is limited to 75 pieces. They are housed with ETA calibre 1120. Do you have information as to whether Dornbluth has extra stock of calibre 1120 for replacement of parts or repairs? Another concern: The watch may look too thick for the small size...
