Watchlords

Long Island is selling Circula watches. Pricey but supposedly made in Germany and family-owned since the 50s. I like that a lot, if true. Some of their watches look good to me:

Pro Trail. Hardened, anti-magnetic, steel field watch with "slightly curved" sapphire and elabore SW200 on a fabric strap for 831 Euro-dollars:

DiveSport Titanium. Hardened grade 2 Ti case, "slightly curved" sapphire, elabore SW200, on rubber for 907 Euro-dollars:







Sick caseback:



They do a real super compressor as well:

Circula watches seem to be suitable for use at the Hellfire Club, as evidenced by the model wearing them with a gimp-glove. You Yanks could buy them from Mark if you can't be bothered with the eurotrash-dollar conversion:

These watches don't totally blow.

I concur. Excellent find, Mr. Recliner.

Liking those as well. Side note, there are 132 Islander models for sale, good grief.

Nice watches, weird name, The GMT diver looks nice, too, while auto chrono's appear to be on the endangered species list even in Germany.

Yup, they're clearly thinking about what they're doing. The divesport (22 date) looks really good to me.

I kind of like the first two. Some nice design elements and the hardened cases are nice. Not a fan of the oversized sword hand sets in general.

None of these excite me. Make that compressor SuperSport model in titanium and offer on Ti bracelet on the other hand---------

Oversized sword hands should be relegated to cheap $100 Seiko mods (and worn on someone else's wrist) imo, they all make the same lousy impression on me regardless of whom makes em and price.
