Schaumburg Retrolateur Owner Review : Hypnotic, readable and bold

When independent German watchmaking meets Breguet, the result is this superb regulator watch with a separate hour hand, central minute hand, and synchronized double retrograde seconds that dance in perfect harmony. The finish is truly superb, with a guilloché dial and an exposed SW07-1 movement based on a modified and decorated Sellita caliber, hand-engraved on the case back, as it belongs to Schaumburg's Unikatorium series. The wide, mirror-polished bezel, brushed on the case edge, gives it a more modern style while still retaining that subtle nod to Breguet without being a mere copy. I added a matte blue alligator strap from abpconcept. In short, I'm biased; it ticks all the boxes of what I love, and at a modest price. Moreover, you won't see it everywhere, as it's limited to 45 pieces. I love it.
