5 years after: The story of the MIH watch!

 
 By: Ornatus-Mundi : December 12th, 2010-12:20
It started in 2003 with a humble prototype movement produced by - Dr. Ludwig Oechslin. The idea was to create a watch that was not only technically uniqie, but also doubles as a fund raiser for the Musée International d'Horlogerie, La-Chaud-De-Fonds, wher...  

Thank you Magnus...

Is the Table Clock available..??

 
 By: Andy : December 13th, 2010-09:54
I have seen Grahams MIH many times and it is a nice piece...I don't understand the point of the chrono on the back and wish it was just an annual calendar but that's just me. The clock however I do like....is this available..?? If not could this be the MI... 

Theoretically YES...

 
 By: Ornatus-Mundi : December 14th, 2010-23:46
but I would contact Beat Weinmann at Embassy regarding availability. Paul Gerber's small workshop is always very busy and thus I don't know about his actual production resources. The clock btw features Paul's in-house handwound 8-days table-clock movement...  

Thank you Magnus....

What a fantastic story

 
 By: JTK : December 15th, 2010-15:58

To me, that is a super watch!

 
 By: ling5hk : December 16th, 2010-17:23
This is the ONLY watch that I bought with a decision made without having a second thought and without asking about its price first. I really like the ingenious and honest element in MIH watch. Thanks Magnus for the story. Regards Ling

That makes two of us

I did hesitate whether I brought cash. P.S. I'm still thinking about the noodle soup on that night ... Tyler

Tyler, we must do a head count on MIH owners in Malaysia

 
 By: ling5hk : December 16th, 2010-21:03
Any idea about the number? P/s: I am glad that you like the noodle soup after the fine dinning in the Italian Restaurant. Totally a different experience. To me, that noodle soup is the best in KL. Regards Ling

You and I are the only two so far, I think.

 
 By: TdotBean : December 16th, 2010-22:39
You know of others? Best Tyler

At least two more.

 
 By: ling5hk : December 17th, 2010-01:28
One owner is within our group of friends but the other one can't be identified as the original owner sold it locally and made some profits. Regards Ling

I own one too!

Hi, just thought I'd drop a line to say that I'm from Malaysia (KL) and I'm a proud owner of the MIH watch too! Rgds Elijah

i personally love my MIH and if i could only have 1 watch i think i would choose this as it does pretty much everything you need. i clearly remember the day i got mine in 2008. sadly the O&J watches dont sing to me like the MIH. the MIH clock however is a...
