@Geo… i had no idea the Cartier Pasha and Rotonde are that big. Thanx for letting me know.

@Kristian… The watch somehow has something minimalistic about it, that also can be found in Danish Design.

@Edwin… you are already a watch-addict… now only say “ME”. I hope in some time i can say that together with you. It would make a great rad trip to pick them up, don’t you think?

Hi Frank,

Thanks for a great read – I think I could fall in love with the MIH watch! I do prefer it to be 1 or 2 mm smaller in diameter and I could live with a MIH.v2 watch : the MIH w/o the chronograph.
I think the watch’ minimalistic design doesn’t need a chronograph and by putting the minute counter on the back of the watch they rendered the chronograph next to useless (I dont want to unbuckle the watch just to be able to read the minutes past)

But nevertheless … I like it, very much so!

Perhaps I will become a watch-addict that says ME to these watchmakers?

Edwin

I like it. Danish Design meets distinct Swiss horology. Looks like Jacob Jensen of B&O designed the watch. Or Henning Koppel. Or Arne Jacobsen.

Wonderful simplicity with a complicated touch.

You mean same size as the large Cartier Pasha or Cartier Rotonde right? LOL

A short trip to try the MIH Watch in Switzerland doesn’t sound too bad.
It’s 42mm in diameter, which is exactly the same as for example the IWC Pilot Chronograph, which wears very comfortable.

This watch could certainly be your holy grail.
An amazing watch that I would love to own.
But since it’s quite large I have to go to Swiss and try first.
Do you have the exact dimensions, I somewhere recall 42 or 44?
