Collector Description
This is my collection representing smaller wrist gang. I've been collecting for about 7 years, slowly working my way up to nicer pieces.
From left to right:
-Archimede Outdoor Protect - German tool watch with 38mm case and hardened steel case/bracelet. My go anywhere watch.
-Formex Essence 39 - my newest piece. Fits very nicely on the wrist with a built in extra half link micro adjust. The white dial really catches the eye
-Nomos Club Neomatik Atlantic - one of my favorite daily wearers. 37mm case with a beautiful display back.
-Universal Geneve Polerouter date - beautiful vintage piece from the early 1960s designed by the legendary Gerald Genta. Only a 34mm case but has a much larger presence on the wrist
-Nomos Ludwig 35mm - My go to dress watch. Very thin watch which is perfect under the cuff
