Glashutte Original Seventies
Don't have the scratch for one of these (at least without being evicted by my wife) but now that I've discovered them I can't get them out of my head. What a beautiful design!
So much great stuff coming out of that little town in Germany. Hope to visit one day just to see these things in person.

These grow on trees in Germany. You will see them everywhere. I think most of the components for all the German brands are manufactured in Glashütte too. If you buy one of these from an AD in Germany, they'll give you the paperwork for the VAT refund and you'll get about 12% back at the airport. VAT in Germany is 19%, so they keep a little of it or the spread kicks back to the processing company, Global Blue.

Really lovely and interesting design. Squarish watches I think will have a bit of a renaissance and of course integrated bracelets have been all the rage.

That's a beautiful watch. I really hope the Germans can take on the Swiss watch industry.
