    Thank you. Those are two-hand, hand wound watches: an Archimede 1950-3 which is also available in blue https://www.archimede-watches.com/1950-s/1950-3/ and a vintage Rado Simplon. The Rado is super thin but I've moved away from vintage due to the service costs and comparative delicacy, so it's actually up on Ebay and elsewhere.

    Ah, I thought German but more along the lines of Stowa or Aristo -- Archimede didn't come to mind.

    Archimede have some great watches. They are the Ickler family, so the cases are really nice in particular. I really like their Outdoor field watch too.

    Thanks - the Archimede is gorgeous looking, not a great feel when winding. The 'Nomos' is in fact a Stowa Marine 36 Roman which has a buttery smooth winding action.

    Ah, love Stowa too, looks like we have similar tastes aesthetically . . . I have a Nomos Club Campus incoming . . .

    Very nice. I would love a Nomos, but have a thing for short lugs - their dials and movements are lovely though. They have a couple of new bright colours - have you gone for one of those?

    Damn - that ranger looks good. Haven't seen one in a while.

    There's no Ranger - could it be the Black Bay 36 on the left on bracelet, or the Archimede 1950-3 on brown leather with the sterile dial and arabic numerals?
