this is working perfectly after nearly 100 years, is a testament to Swiss watch movements of the day.
Quick looks
Just a quick look at any watch models that catch my eye.
The Cartier contradiction . .
It is I suppose these models blithely fly along just under the radar in the “must have” stakes and yet, for me personally, I think out of all Cartier models, the Solo range are the ones you would be a fool to pass up, given the opportunity to own one.
Heavenly De Bethune
The movement is automatic (self winding), twin barrel with a 6 day reserve, with a special triple shock absorbing system
Interesting finds (1)
It has a German traditional style, this one more dress than military, luminous hands and applied markers and overall, for my taste, has a good look
Feice Bauhaus – Budget or Bargain?
But for Fiece, the clever idea of using the Bauhaus concept and promoting to the global market promoted with – Form, Function and a certain marketing seriousness, hasn’t hindered them in their mass market approach and by increasing the quality is a real bonus.

It looks the part!
There is also another digital window opposite the 2, which has a mobile segmental style counter of sorts – I say of sorts as I have to discover exactly what it represents. The square segment markers don’t seem to run in any identifiable order, though I suspect they should count 10 seconds in sequence, but they don’t – maybe a glitch just on this particular watch.
