Dornblüth & Sohn Small Seconds Medium 99.1 Black Dial

There's still value to be found in modern watchmaking, and for fans of German design and engineering it's very hard to go past Dornbluth. Much like Nomos or Sinn, the quality and attention to detail for the money compared to its Swiss rivals is no contest, and once you take a peek at the case back you'll soon see why.

The typically straightforward naming of the Small Seconds Medium 99.1 contains most of the info you need to know, in that it is the small seconds version of the calibre 99.1 equipped models, which in itself is a smaller version of the traditional Dornbluth Calibre 99 pieces. The steel case measures in at 40mm and 10mm in height, with a 1.6mm sapphire anti-reflective crystal on top. Within it lies a sterling silver matte black lacquer dial with lumed Arabic markers.

The party piece is out back, with the beautiful in-house manual wind Cal 99.1 with a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. The roségold plated three-quarter plate with Geneva strips provides a stunning contrast against the steel case, and with the lovely detail of yellow gold hand-graving of the manufacturers name and serial number. A lovely thing to behold, and a joy to wind.

To finish it off it's mounted to a black 'gator strap with steel deployant buckle.

This particular watch is a one-owner piece, was delivered in July 2021 and presents in TZ Good condition. Case shows only very light signs of wear, and would be considered Near Mint if not for a few tiny nicks on the bezel between 11 and 12. Please see images for full condition details.

Includes outer box, inner case, guarantee papers dated July 2021, cleaning cloth and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
