Michael Gisiger 📷We are having some friends over for New Year's Eve, so today I am wearing a mechanical 18-carat gold tank by Jean Zurbuchen from La Chaux-de-Fonds from the 1980s. It's only 23mm, but for a rectangular watch, that's as small as I go (it's 34/35mm for round watches). You may be familiar with #Zurbuchen if you like #Breitling Navitimers: Zurbuchen was a watchmaker with the original Breitling, but left the company before it was bought by Ernest Schneider and opened a watch shop of his own. He then bought a stock of Breitling parts and created the first #Navitimer with the calibre 7735 under his own name. That's how things worked during the quartz crisis, there was a lot of cheap stock around and people like Zurbuchen took advantage of it and made small batches under their own name. #WristCheck #WatchOfTheDay #WatchesOfPixelfed #Watch
