Earlier this year, this top-notch German brand unveiled its first self-winding chronograph Odysseus watch. Crafted in stainless steel and limited to just 100 pieces, the 42.5mm watch is devoid of the multiple traditional chronograph subsidiary dials. Instead, the minute and second chronograph hands come from the center of the dial. The subsidiary dial at 6 o'clock indicates the non-chronograph running seconds. The clean, sophisticated design allows for the outsized day and date indication as well. The complicated mechanical movement consists of a massive 516 parts, many visible via a transparent sapphire caseback.
