MIH Monopusher Chronograph Annual Calendar Watch - 2009
MIH Monopusher Chronograph Annual Calendar Watch.
If you're not familiar with the MIH watch, it's the brainchild of one of the greatest minds in watchmaking, Ludwig Oechslin, who together with Beat Weinmann and Christian Gafner to help fund the upkeep and running of the Musée International d‘Horlogerie (MIH). To quote their website:
“The MIH Watch personifies the mission of the museum, which is to convey to a broader public, the importance of horology, and of mechanical watchmaking in particular. The MIH watch is not being produced by a watch brand on behalf of the museum, nor does it already exist under some other name. It has been designed from the ground up and incorporates a mechanism that you will not find in any other watch.”
The 42mm titanium case features a modified 7750 movement, incorporating an 30 minute monopusher chronograph and Annual Calendar with AM/PM indicator, created with the use of only 9 extra parts, put together by Paul Gerber in his atelier. Doesn't get much cooler than that.
This particular piece is from my personal collection, and presents in very good condition. The case shows some marks from regular use over the past 11 years. See images for full condition details.
Believe it was serviced by the previous retailer, but can't be 100% sure. Seems correct as it's running at +7 seconds per day at 289 degrees of amplitude.
Comes with pouch, MIH Watch information booklet, and the newspaper from the day of sale. These served as the papers for these watches - pretty cool, huh?
I love this watch, but am not getting a chance to wear pieces from my collection so happy for it to go to someone who will get the wear out if that it deserves.
