MIH has a 42mm Titanium Case, with Rubber Strap.CONDITION: very good 90+%. Some light superficial marks from wear on the back (see pics). Watch Serviced in 2018
The MIH WatchThe former conservator of MIH, Ludwig Oechslin, with his many years of experience as a watch designer has an impressive line-up of complicated wristwatches in his portfolio. His long-cherished dream, however, has always been to design a simple watch and make it accessible to the masses. This undertaking finally came to fruition through his work in the Museum (2001 – 2014), the collaboration with Embassy and the enthusiasm of master watchmaker Paul Gerber. He is the one who ultimately brought the Ludwig Oechslin annual calendar to series production and who continues to lend his personal touch in the artisanal manufacture of every single MIH watch.
The MIH watchFeatures:Annual calendar with calendar display of month, day/date and AM/PM indicator. Stopwatch function via a push-button with a stop second from the center and 30 minutes counter on the back.Technical details:Ludwig Oechslin’s calendar complication is based on an ETA-Valjoux calibre 7750. Paul Gerber’s adaptation of the movement includes a stopwatch function with minutes counter. The case and buckle are fashioned from titanium, the hands and indices are superluminova-coated, the strap is of natural rubber, and the watch is watertight to 10 bar/100 metres.
