I gave the identical configuration of that caliber to my daughter for an important birthday in 2011, and the two of us were just admiring it together earlier today!
Dieter Dornblth had been repairing watches in Kalbe (located in Saxony-Anhalt in the former German Democratic Republic in Eastern Germany) since the 1960s. Dieters son, Dirk, graduated from watch making school in 1985 and, with his father, formed the D...
Thank you for review and nice pictures. Do not often review of this model. If I may,a few insignificant remarks. Front sapphire crystal is 1.0 mm thick as mentioned in the catalogue and were the second model from D.Dornblüth & Sohn. The first model w...
... could be individualised by the owner with personal engravings. This is the original 'standard' case back. Thanks for the correction. The first Dornbluth movement developed by the Manufacture was indeed the Cal. 99.2. Appreciate your comments. Regards,...
