An Independent's Arrival - The case of the MIH watch.. Or: Less is more..
Friends, Some of you may have realized that my main collection focus is JLC, followed with some distance by Rolex, then GP. But after some years I have developed a rising interest in some Independents. and several times new avenues have been opened. This ...
Quite beautiful. Ludwig is a Master. Big congrats!
The simple finish of the titanium case is a perfect match for this watch too. I love it!
Very nice watch. Love it. Congratulations.
Thanks for sharing your nice pics. Congratulations. Vte
I may be the wrong person to answer this.. But AFAIK, probably, yes.. Interesting Q, BTW.. It's a very smart movement & display !
.. the website ( which I mentioned in the post), describes more details.. Thx for looking ! Best, hs
It also shows AM/PM in that same alignment
small red dots in the display window indicate the portion of the day (so you know the midnight change is coming) Mike
Absolutely Mike
I didn't pay attention before to this subtle but very well thought out detail. Many thanks. Best wishes Alkiro
Congratulations! Always a delight to behold this watch.
I call this the 'unlikely watch'! And you have elected to visit Embassy to pick yours, which is always a nice (if not, also memorable) experience (mail-orders don't get the special treat of chocolates, tea or the lakes and the mountains!). I discovered so...
Thx for your kind looking & your interesting comments !.. & Yes, picking it up in Switzerland indeed contributed to the pleasure !..
.. Also + 1 on the nice notion, that Embassy will stay to its committment for the MIH watch, which IMHO is a fairly unique combo of design, mechanics & puristic features.. Cheers & Best, hs
Let them eat cake
Thanks to Swiss quality manufacture & design, plus generous testing, the MIH is guaranteed resistant to immersion into birthday, anniversary, and retirement cakes. I am not sure if wedding cakes qualify. Yes, they confirmed in writing that cake immers...
What a spectacular watch 👍🏻
A wonderful addition, HS111 - one of the watches I will definitely get at some point. So many cool choices, unfortunately... Thanks a lot for your review!
Thx K, for your nice words and the kind looking !.. & Yes, I guess we all have those "one day maybe timepieces", but..
.. so many choices, couldn't agree more ! So wishing you good fortune for your next choice, whichever that may be ! Cheers & Best, hs.
Thanks, HS111!
Difficult to say what the next choice will be. Many options again. But first comes No. 2, then we'll see about the next watch
The MIH is a watch that has always intrigued me, but the size (likely made to look even bigger than it is due to its wonderfully sparse design)
and the fact that I'm not able to easily try one on before purchasing have prevented me from pulling the trigger. Yet every time I see a picture of one... I've had the watch's website bookmarked for quite some time. Maybe one of these days I'll have one t...
Brilliant watch, welcome to the club!
Simple yet not so simple....you'll have many years of enjoyment with this one. I personally like a different strap over the rubber. Cheers, Tim ...
Hello, Tim !.. Thx for your kind looking and nice words !.. & Yes, am really happy, I took the plunge.. :))
If I may ask, is your strap leather or some special texture/cordura ?.. Really like the great contrast with the intense green stitching.. Cheers & Best, hs.
