    Good day, IWL.

    I know these Breitling have lost some of their initial appeal, rejected by the minimalist approach now favoured by most enthusiasts. To make things worse, the Cosmonaute has a less than intuitive 24H dial and marginal legibility for my old eyes.

    Still, its hand wind, COSC certified movement is a wonderful timekeeper.

    And, most important: I love the watch.

    Since it's Friday - finally - I wish you all a great weekend ahead.

    From the collection of three, and yes, I miss the rest of my watches.

    Kemmner Tourbillon with ST8000, a bigger watch than I would usually wear, but so far my favorite affordable tourby. I love how Roland "absorbed" the asymmetry into the dial to make something visually balanced. I need better photos though.



    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Doesn't look too big on your wrist; it looks quite good, actually.

    You are very kind. Thank you. At 42mm x 11mm this Kemmner is one of the smallest ST8000 tourbies, yet that makes it one of my largest watches. Remember I'm the one who doesn't mind wearing a Hamilton Thin-o-matic at 33mm.

    Holy crap! I have that exact same watch:
