    Hi Guys,

    I'm looking to research modern made watches with no logos and was wondering if there are any additions to this list?

    Stowa
    Laco
    Archimedes
    Steinhart

    Preferred style military or aviation

    Ta!

    Sinn have no logo IIRC. Just the name.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Spot on Bedlam. Clean dials - no logos, no names, just hands and hour markers

    The ones I've listed are all German and I was wondering if there are any with a more English or American design.

    Although I do like these from Stowa

    Just a thought

    I have a recent Sekonda automatic 1102 which didn't cost a lot.

    Would there be a watch maker around who could change the dial for a military unbranded and the crown for something larger?

    Or is the Sekonda just too pretty to mess with :o

    Roy from RLT would probably be willing to put together a no logo watch for you if you asked, English by the way.

    Re: Stowa, don't do anything just yet their email today hinted at an announcement in the next week. If there is an announcement it will be related to their Durowe movement, and if (as seems likely) it's limited edition, Stowa LE have a habit of going up in value

    If you refering to Roy at RLT, he would be quite cheap most likely. I know he was doing an offer a while ago for what ever picture you wanted printed on a dial of a hand wound for £100.

    If your talkin about the Stowa LE, well no guarantee it will be a limited edition, and unless your in a hurry for it, it'll take so long you have plenty of time to save.

    Check out these. You can have something put together just the way you want for pretty reasonable amounts.

    Bill Yao:

    Also do a search in Ebay(us) wristwatches for "sterile".

    I'd heard and seen the watches of Mr Bill Yao, but not of Mr Fuller. Nice stuff he has.

    I just discovered Noah Fuller and his range of dials is inspiring...

    Apologies for re-opening the thread but I am quite taken with the PRS-22 in timefactors. Anyone got any experience of these?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,900 ✭✭✭InTheTrees


    I have an original Timefactors "Goldbird" and love it. Its a really nice rose gold colour not too brash.

    And the watch itself is really good quality. No complaints. Its been solid and reliable for years now.

    I believe the name of the guy behind Timefactors is Eddie Platt.

    That's the fella. I've bought a few bits and bobs from him before but not a watch. Decent chap.
    All I need now is for sterling to collapse before the euro does ;)

    (Been waiting for that for years now.)

    I've been tempted by one of his Smiths Military recreations.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,293 ✭✭✭StealthRolex


    Likewise - I could go for the PRS-29A and chuck in one of his sand canvas straps and a tube of Polywatch.
