Since we launched the ARCHIMEDE Pilot 42 Bronze many customers asked us for a smaller version with the 39mm case. Now that we finished the new case we are happy to present the Pilot 39 as well as the Pilot 39H in Bronze.

The Fixoflex watchband (expandable) was invented in 1952 by ROWI / Pforzheim, which was a completely new type of watchband at that time. We asked ROWI (founded in 1885) for some samples of a standard bracelet and adjusted the attachment so that it fits the OutDoor case.

The result is an interesting new combination, which is very comfortable to wear. The expandable band matches very well the design of the robust timepiece. It has no buckle and can be shortened / lengthened in steps of 4mm.

Here are some photos of a bike-trip with the OutDoor and Fixoflex band through the Black Forest.

From old to new: overhauling and optimization of the former ARCHIMEDE SportPuls.

Some years ago the SportPuls was part of the ARCHIMEDE collection. A customer now asked us if we could manufacture this model for him again. As we still have dials and hands for the SportPuls we made one for him with the new 3-pieces ICKLER case. With the brushed and polished surface it is a functional but still very well looking time piece.

The Cartouche was one of the first watches of the LIMES collection. A watch for people who appreciate fine art and craftsmanship as well as precision. Since the end of the 1990s until 2007 the Cartouche was an important time piece of LIMES and had found many friends over the years.

In December 2013 we launched the all new Cartouche A (Automatic with SW200) and we are proud to anounce now another version of this elegant time piece, the Cartouche H with the handwound movement Eta 6498).
