Iron Annie F13 Tempelhof Owner Review : Endearing, simple and readable

To begin with, Iron Annie, founded in 1919, is a German watch brand that draws its inspiration from the history of aviation and more specifically from the legendary Junkers JU-52 aircraft, nicknamed "Iron Annie". The design of their watches is often inspired by the aviator style but also by the more classic Bauhaus movement. The watches are designed and assembled in Germany using Japanese and Swiss movements. I was looking for a watch with an aviator look that wasn't necessarily very faithful to the first references (Laco, IWC, Stowa, Wempe and A. Lange & Söhne). This one therefore has the day/date complication and this green circle on the dial brings a little fun. Finally, the price of less than 200 euros definitely convinced me, as did the size of 42 which for my 18.5cm wrist is perfect. While the finishes and the light lume are correct for the price, the Miyota 8205 movement is very noisy because of its unidirectional rotor, which spoils the pleasure a little.
