Alas the size, but that's just my wrist.

A gutsy re-entry into the watch market from Martin Braun.

Thanks for all these reports, Marcus. It has been nice to slowly reflect and digest these threads after the hustle and bustle of Basel.

I have to say this watch inspires more admiration than love but I am glad he is back, and I hope he makes more astronomical complications! Thanks for the report Andreas
