I wouldn't have thought twice of this brand but I see these are beautiful watches. What a nice surprise!
Thanks for your comments...
... and I'm glad you took a second look ;-) We all know some watches that come to life under natural light, photos taken in professional settings do not always do them justice. Cheers Henrik
Looking great...
I wonder how the bronze ages / patinates here - you said it did so differently? Thanks for the really great pictures!
You'll not find this strong patina...
... since Hentschel uses a special bronze alloy, which has been used also for ship propellers. Thanks for your kind comments! Cheers Henrik
Very nice, I like the 'regular' version (the non-Sport version)...
... as it's a very restrained 38.5mm size which is perfect. BTW, how thick is that one? It looks nice and slim, 9-10mm perhaps?
You're spot on, it's about 9mm in height...
... which is giving it a nice balance of dimensions. The slimness is achieved through a perfect combination of the components, one of them being an impressively thin rehaut. Cheers Henrik
