Ken,
Outstanding coverage of two uncommon brands (here).
About the watches presented, the Stowa Flieger without logo is the one that attracts me more.
Thank you very much,
Nilo

Re-discovering (other) German Brands - Muhle Glashutte and Stowa Thanks to the retail franchise/ import agent (Tic Tac/ Neuve-A) for those two brands, I had an opportunity to see their latest offerings as well as meeting CEO/ Owner of both brands at the e...

Love Stowas, never met the man. Thanks for the info and report. Good to know that the watches can be purchased in Tokyo other than online. What about after sales support ? Is this available in Japan as well ?
Thanks Ken !

I'v been looking at Stowas for quite some time now, i even often go to that Ebisu store when i used to live there. I'm very intrigued about the Solid Silver dials LE for Japan, and you brought me the very 1st clear live shots! I was wondering if you might...

very interesting pieces from both brands.

re Muhle, i do like the GMT and the Teutonia. the case is a classic Ickler design with the vertical brushing on the sides and screws on the lugs. i also like some of the Stowa models which look back on their history, but the 24hr countdown is very nice. i...
Wonderful coverage!

My pleasure...

.. my German watch fan friend found about the event and took me there. He knew a lot more about the brands than the store staff :-) But, yes, they are sometimes forgotten, but great German brands and they are good - my humble impression. Ken
Nice shop.

The STOWA are very nice looking watches. I like them. Thanks for sharing. vte
Great coverage Ken

What a coincidence, i was at my local AD 2 weeks ago and saw the same Muhle Glashutte new in house movement model. Agree on the vertical brush finish on the case, very unusual. However the case design reminds me of Chronoswiss. However i find the crown a ...
I saw this model, too..

.. but like you say, was not my type, either... Other models are mostly good to me, though. Ken

They redeveloped the old Yebisu Brewery into shopping and dining malls complete with Beer Garten and the Yebisu Brewery Museum. Very pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon/evening as I lived in Higashi-Gotanda on the JR Chuo Line. Regards, MTF
I've owned a Stowa for years and love it!

It keeps amazing time, is super legible, and is a great value. Thanks, Ken, for spotlighting these two companies. A lot of bang for your buck with these two German brands. Cheers, Daos
There is one Stowa that's been on my list for years . . .
By: Dr No : July 4th, 2013-12:11
. . . a limited edition of twenty five based on the Exima model . . . [image credits: Guy / source: Google search] . . . and fitted with a new (!) Omega cal 286 movement. I've never seen one come up for sale over the course of many years. Six or seven yea...
Yes, that is the spirit!
By: KIH : July 4th, 2013-17:47
I respect them for making such watches. Muhle watches are bang for the bucks, too! Ken

Is a regulator for fine adjustment, making the hair spring longer or shorter. It makes the fine regulation easier but do not improve the overall movement, just make the regulation a little more easier. Cheers, Nilo Note: this answer was made because I dis...
Ah, thanks, Nilo!

You saved me :-) Ken I guess the name came from its appearance, although I never had chance to see....
You have a TEAM of watchmakers?
By: MTF : July 5th, 2013-05:20
Nilo, Are you Bill Gates? Works with computers and has a team of watchmakers.....hmm..... :-) MTF
Well, I do my best ...
By: nilomis : July 5th, 2013-06:23
Of course I'm far far away of BG. But it helps the fact that I did some business consultancy to my watchmaker. Now he has a team. Small team but amazing effective. Experience combined hits more than 70 years. Not bad. Cheers, Nilo
Great post, Ken...

although what I really like are the namesake Schauer watches that seem in photos to be so beautifully finished. ...

.. he is a "finishing freak" :-) He is a great finisher, I agree. Almost all by hand. Yes, I wanted to see more of his own brand, too. Ken
