Tonda Muonionalusta
Perhaps it's better that they didn't formally name it so after all ........ ...
It's bewitching 😉
And, shifts in very interesting ways with the light. You can see in pics 2 and 7 that it even produces a small rainbow at certain angles due to the crystalline structure of meteorite.... I'm thinking of pairing it with a more casual greyish textile strap ...
You're most welcome!
It's a wonderful piece of high horology. Wind the watch 40 turns of the crown, set the time to the second, and wearing it for a week straight, every day. Mainly, I want to see if the watch stops - micro rotors aren't that efficient and sometimes the watch...
Excellent point.
I'll do exactly that, I'm scheduled to work the next 6 days in a row, roughly 11 hours each day. I'll let you know when the watch stops. I did read the 40 turn of the crown rule in the manual, this is turning without pulling the crown out??....
Correct, turn the crown 40 times while in the winding position.
Like manually wind the watch 40 turns, then set the time, then wear for 11 days straight! Nice mission!
I have to look online at the few....
bespoke strap makers since I want it to have a pale blue color stitch to match the dial tones, and possibly an interesting color on the backside lining as well.... We'll see, I haven't ordered custom straps before so I don't have a manufacturer preference...
Straps by JB, Yusuke, Strap Bandits....
From Kristjan's thorough experience, these are the additional ones where it's clear they offer a compelling array of textile options.... All to be thoroughly researched over the next several days.... ...
Another one on the Googling list 😃
What I just generally had in my head is probably most alike the strap you have on your JLC Memovox in the image above....
This can be endless fun…
And another rabbit hole - albeit a somewhat less expensive one than watches (and they actually still like customers 😂😉) 👍🏻
Yep ☺️
It's my favorite time-only small seconds piece besides the VC 1921. Much appreciated, cheers, Filip
Thompson/Widmanstatten pattern FTW =D
The lugs are truly gorgeous, few can compete on that end, they evoke a comparable impression to the best from VC in my opinion.... Thanks a bunch for looking and chiming in! Cheers, Filip
There’s a lot to love on each side of this watch:
front of course, but also profile and back! Huge congrats again!
Thank you my friend.
It's a cohesive, beautifully packaged timepiece. And, fortuitously, not particularly expensive compared to my other preferences in the same category like the 1921 .... Cheers, Filip
Thanks Michael!
It's by some margin the nicest wristwatch I have ever had. It decisively plays in league with the 'big boys' from AP, VC, PP at a 3x 'discount'. I plan on getting a high quality textile strap for it in order to 'wring out' the chameleon-like nature of the...
As a long time AP owner and enthusiast...
I completely agree with you. In fact, the 2 PF I own play at higher level, in my most honest opinion. I'm so happy for you, enjoy it in best of health!!
Many congratulations, Filip!
I’m very glad it’s finally on your wrist. It really is a complete package - an intriguing dial and a wonderful movement. I love a good micro-rotor. Much enjoyment - as you might say! All the best, Jon
Wow!
Great find, congrats, all sides of this watch are drool worthy. The grey strap idea too is spot on, please don’t forget to send pics when you receive the new strap.
I simply felt that....
The formal alligator strap pigeon-holes the look of the timepiece as a strictly formal one when the design is objectively far more versatile than that. I sincerely appreciate your comments, I'll definitely post pictures when I change the strap! Cheers, Fi...
Wow…. this dial leaves me speechless!
Huge congratulations on your new treasure, my friend!
Fine workmanship of the movement…
Notwithstanding it being in titanium, still find the weight super amazing, all just 41g with the case, movement, strap, buckle… BTW, do you have a soundclip of the pronunciation 😂
LoL - No, I don't!
I guess YouTube-ing a Swedish person pronouncing it would be best. I'll do it myself 😁👍....
It's such a minimalist, slender design that....
I feel most people, including women, can rather easily pull it off....
Well I'll have to say it too.... What a wonderful meteorite dial! My same era Tonda is never the watch I ware when I'm super active and it's platinum micro rotor has never let me down in
providing enough energy to the mainspring. The dial on mine is a gray-brown and the watch came on brown leather so the AD said they'd throw in a second gray strap. They chose Jean Rousseau who was wonderful to work with as this turned out to be challengin...
Yours is decidedly more formal....
being a precious metal, and JR is definitely among the top contenders for my upcoming custom strap order. I'm surprised your comes on a deployant buckle, I was under the impression all of these were deliberately paired with a pin buckle in order to make i...
I purchased the PF deployant from them (and kept the buckle). I like the convenience and extended leather life and actually it's still pretty easy to get a good look at the movement. :-)
The deployant with the original brown strap. ...
That makes sense.
It isn't out of the question for me to do the same at some point, especially since I am inclined to wear this version during certain high-activity situations....
