DISTINCT. NOVELTY 2015 NOVELTY 2015 NOVELTY 2015 Dear reader, In the past months, the team of C.H.WOLF has grown further. We have set ourselves up according to the latest technological standard in the completely rebuilt rooms of our company headquarters in Glashütte. We are especially proud of our team of master watchmakers, watchmakers, product developers and in-house designers as well as our experienced office and field staff. Together, we are working with commitment on a successful future. We have refined our brand presentation in order to better and more clearly communicate our values. C.H.WOLF stands for watch making art from Glashütte, the cradle of German horology. C.H.WOLF stands for the highest quality and precision. And, at the same time, we are going in new directions: C.H.WOLF is CONVINCING. DISTINCT. Our watches tell stories. We are inspired by special, proven materials - among others from aviation and seafaring or the automotive industry - as well as from classical design elements and implement these creatively in our watches with innovative techniques. That defines the character of our models and the spirit of C.H.WOLF. Each of our watches reflects a certain attitude towards life and a special theme. In this way we offer women and men a variety of models in our collection, leaving nothing to be desired: watches with classic style, simple elegance, relaxed coolness and athletic vigor. On our way to become a manufactory, we are working on our own modules and complications, which will enter production this year. With the in-house development of our first outsize date module in the URBAN collection, we present a first milestone this year. We invite you to immerse yourself in the world of C.H.WOLF on the following pages. Discover our new diversity of models, our specials, as well as interesting background information on our watches and the history of C.H.WOLF. We are pleased at your interest and are open to your wishes, suggestions or your feedback. Enjoy reading! Christoph Pfeiffer Glashütte, 18th March 2015 Jürgen Werner Jürgen Jacob Roots and Values Because a look back can also be a step forward. C.H.WOLF FACTORY FOR precision mechanics, 1868 In 1868, Carl Heinrich Wolf founded his „Tower clock factory and mechanical workshop“ („Thurmuhren-Fabrik und Mechanische Werkstatt“) in Glashütte, establishing himself at Feldstraße 2, our current headquarters, in 1871. This was the beginning of a long family tradition that - along with others - established the renown of Glashütte as a clock making city. The reliable and robust mechanisms soon earned the company an excellent reputation. Around the turn of the century, Carl Heinrich Wolf placed the company‘s reins in the hands of his sons. Almost 150 years after its foundation, we are breathing new life into the traditional brand. When Carl Heinrich Wolf began the production of large clocks for churches, schools and manors, he was venturing into what was then a relatively rare branch of clock making. Records from the years 1873 to 1882 demonstrate how business with tower clocks flourished. 12 C.H.WOLF 12 C.H.WOLF ROOTS AND VALUES 13 You have to be rooted in the tradition from which you come. From there you can branch out and begin something new. Sobonfu Somé Church city of Possendorf Reliable tower clocks An original tower clock from the „Tower clock factory and mechanical workshop C.H. Wolf.“, preserved and functional until today, is located in Possendorf. Built in 1885, „Nr. 71“ still displays the time to residents of the parish to this day. The stability, robustness and precision of the C.H. Wolf movements were renowned as especially reliable, well past the borders of Saxony. As this example clearly illustrates, these were movements able to withstand the rigors of time. 14 C.H.WOLF 14 C.H.WOLF Likewise, the tower clock of the city church of Wehlen has been in service for more than 130 years now. Its robust mechanism allows the clock to continue keeping time, even in its advanced age. In 1999, the clock was overhauled by Andreas Vogler‘s horological company (Uhrentechnik Andreas Vogler) and equipped with a labor-saving, electrical winding mechanism. This triggers the chiming mechanism every six hours, every day, meaning the residents and visitors to the city of Wehlen can count on their tower clock day in and day out. Church city of Wehlen ROOTS AND VALUES 15 Everything old, we have to love, as long as it deserves our love, but everything new we have to actually live for. Theodor Fontane (1819 - 1898) C.H.WOLF – Convincing.Distinct. In the tradition of fine watchmaking established by Carl Heinrich Wolf we are starting new with great ideas and technologies. We feel committed to this tradition and to the Glashütte typical quality. And, at the same time, we are taking new directions. The new and extraordinary is our inspiration. With innovative techniques we implement special and proven materials in our watches. Dials and straps tell stories. We combine pioneering techniques with trend-setting design. Like this, we create watches with charisma that meet Glashütte’s high quality standard. Our demands are high: beside the use of extraordinary raw materials, we take deepest care in careful and accurate processing of the special materials. Therefore, we trust in the cooperation with highly qualified specialists and regional and central European suppliers. At the same time we are on our way to become a manufactory: we are working on completely in-house developed calibers and various modules for complications. C.H.WOLF watches masterly combine excellent functionality and latest technologies. Classic, timeless, sporty and dynamic, on land, in water and in the air – our watches tell stories: of people, materials and places. C.H.WOLF – Convincing.Distinct. 16 C.H.WOLF ROOTS AND VALUES 17 The Collection URBAN Extraordinary. Vibrant. On the pulse of time. 20 Frankfurt serious coolness Urban classic The unmistakable look of the 1960s lives on. The Urban CLASSIC reflects the exciting era of days past in contemporary design: elegant and stylish, with striking details, this is a classic with character. In a 41.5 millimeter, polished steel case, it makes an impression. This impression is strengthened by the perfect readability of the time, ensured by exactly milled and gold inlaid hour markers, as well as gently curved hour and minute hands in „Baton éventail“ form. The modern retro look is completed by either a band of elegant alligator leather or a Milanese strap. Altogether, the watch is available is six different variations: with stainless steel or pink gold casing, in combination with a dial in black, anthracite or silver colored. New: the Urban CLASSIC BLACK – with a PVD-coated stainless steel case and flat black dial with rhodiumed hour markers. These are accented by the unobtrusive, central second hand. The purist design is supported by the large, curved sapphire glass bottom with antireflective coating, which offers a view of the finely finished mechanism. 22 C.H.WOLF Urban CLASSIC 23 URBAN CLASSIC Case: stainless steel 1,4435 Dial: domed, antracite, milled indexes, inlayed in gold Hands: rhodié 24 C.H.WOLF Functions: Hour / Minute / Centralsecond with stop seconds mechanism / date. 38 hours power reserve.

Modern. Simply beautiful. This watch convinces with the clarity of its lines. For people confident of their style, who focus on what is important. A watch, with which you always make a good impression. The mechanism inspires with the rotor characteristic of C.H.WOLF and the finely finished movement, which is especially visible through the large, sapphire crystal bottom with its double anti-reflective coating. The circular housing with its diameter of 41 mm and its typically angled strap lugs, provides the perfect frame for this simply elegant watch. This elegance continues with the dial. The Urban BUSINESS is available in the dial variants mocha, black and silver. And especially for women: for each model there is a version with a diamond bezel of 90 finely polished stones, for a glamorous appearance. The consciously reduced design with Arabic numerals, fine lancet hands and the date display by six o‘clock ensure the best possible readability. 30 30 C.H.WOLF C.H.WOLF Urban BUSINESS 31 URBAN BUSINESS Case: stainless steel 1,4435 Dial: argenté, appliques gilded in pink gold Hands: gilded in pink gold, rhodié Movement: Hematic CHW 200 Functions: Hour / Minute / Centralsecond with stop seconds mechanism / date. 38 hours power reserve.

Thanks to a special cutout in the higher of the two rings, the numbers from one to 16 appear with an elegant frame. After a year of development work, the extra large date display plays the leading role as the distinguishing design element on the dial. In design, C.H.WOLF followed its proven design principles: the Urban BIG DATE BUSINESS is simple, clearly designed and focusses on the essentials - the greatest possible readability of the time. The easily readable outsize-date is driven by a mechanism of two superimposed date disks. The upper disc is marked with the numbers 17 to 31, the lower disc displays the numbers one to 16. This is further enhanced by the perfectly dimensioned hands and the silver colored dial. Reduced to the hour, minute and second, it accentuates the outsize date to full stylish advantage. The date changes automatically - daily around midnight. Quick, manual corrections can also be made. So that you do not miss the BIG DATES of life! 38 38 C.H.WOLF C.H.WOLF Urban BIG DATE BUSINESS 39 URBAN BIG DATE BUSINESS Case: stainless steel 1,4435 Dial: argenté, grené Hands: rhodié, blued Movement: Hematic CHW 3910 Functions: Hour / Minute / Centralsecond with stop seconds mechanism / date. 65 hours power reserve.

Urban BIG DATE BUSINESS 41 URBAN BIG DATE How the big date works The Big Date consists of two discs that rotate, one above the other. Both date disks have a special, exactly calculated gearing, which enables the exact advancement of the date. They operate with very little clearance between them, which requires especial dexterity and experience during construction. On the upper date ring, the numerals 17 to 31 are displayed and the numbers one to 16 are on the lower ring. The upper ring has a window, through which you can read the numbers on the lower ring. 42 C.H.WOLF Urban BIG DATE BUSINESS 43 lawyer‘s darling Urban advokat Confident understatement: the Urban ADVOKAT is a timeless classic, impressing with clear lines and elegant design. You do not have to be a lawyer to make a good impression at every turn with this model. On the inside, the finely finished handwound movement Alpha CHW302 provides the wearer with a 46 hour power reserve, easily admired through the large sapphire crystal bottom with anti-reflection coating. This watch serves as a noble companion whether paired with a tailored suit or to a jacket and designer jeans. A timepiece with character for stylish career types. The special refinement of the balance cock as well as the three-quarter plate - both visible on the movement - are typical of Glashütte and the iconic waffle pattern is typical of C.H.WOLF. The unmistakable C.H.WOLF casing offers an especially good view of the dial, with its wide opening and chamfered inner ring. The design is both sober and elegant, its balance accentuated by small second display by six o‘clock. The fine, pink gold numerals and the matching hands form a harmonious contrast to the dial. Fascinating light reflections are created by the variously treated surfaces of the high grade stainless steel casing. 44 44 C.H.WOLF C.H.WOLF Special decorative touches on the crown wheel and ratchet as well as polished screws, finest rubies and a gold-plated balance complete the picture. The Urban ADVOKAT is available with three dial variants: night blue, silver colored and mocha brown.

Striking. Charismatic. Finest handicraft for Exquisite dials. CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE HIGHEST LEVEL EACH DIAL A PRECIOUS UNIQUE PIECE The Nautic collection comprises two model series, KAPITAEN and MARITIM. Fine woods and special India rubber inlays form the basis of four unique color variations. finishing. There is a highly elaborate process behind the look inspired by boat planks: Teak stained kotibe wood in combination with black India rubber is used for the brown applied to the wood. The blocks created by this process are pressed together and then white India rubber. The dials of both series are unique masterpieces, both in their nature and in their delicate pieces of wood are trimmed, India rubber is mixed and, one layer at a time, sawed into fine sheets. Under high temperatures and pressure, these sheets are affixed to the brass backing and sanded, calibrated, ground and then polished in a process with up to 15 steps - until they finally have the form and character required to serve as a dial. 66 C.H.WOLF dials.

The fascinating boat plank look of the dial serves as the highlight of the model series KAPITAEN. Selected fine woods and high-quality India rubber are brought together in meticulous handwork to form a one-of-a-kind composite and provide the watch‘s characteristic appearance. Starting with the handsome 45 mm case, there are numerous characteristic design elements in the Nautic KAPITAEN: the winding crown in the shape of a quay bollard, to which mooring lines are connected when in harbor, the hands and subtle appliqués, designed to evoke historic marine chronometers. The hand-wound movement Alpha CHW 306 in the heart of the watch offers 46 hours of reserve power. The movement is equipped with the three-quarter plate typical of Glashütte, four gold-plated chatons which contain fine jewels, and a swan neck precision adjuster, which ensures particular exactness and the characteristic C.H.WOLF waffle pattern on the backside of the watch. This truly is a prime example of Glashütte watch making art. A small second display by six o‘clock completes the classically athletic impression with affection for details. 68 68 C.H.WOLF C.H.WOLF Nautic KAPITAEN 69 NAUTIC KAPITAEN Case: stainless steel 1,4435 Dial: grey oak, appliques rhodié Hands: rhodié Movement: Alpha CHW 306 Functions: Hour / Minute / Centralsecond with stop seconds mechanism. 46 hours power reserve.

The overall harmony of each individual Nautic model is the result of a love for these subtleties. The watches do not seem the least bit overloaded, and never stray from the design principles of C.H.WOLF. The focus is on simplicity, clarity and comfortable readability. Nautic MARITIM and KAPITAEN have a few design refinements to offer. Besides the characteristic ship‘s bottom surface, the elegant Arabic numerals on the dial catch the eye, as do the gently sweeping spade hands on the model KAPITAEN. These spade hands take their form from the classic look of seafaring chronometers. Winding crowns in the form of quay bollards, to which ships were tied in harbor, perfect the maritime appearance. 82 C.H.WOLF Nautic 83 RACING Dynamic. Electrifying. Powerful. Gasoline in the veins Racing SPEED11 A watch, unmistakable, electrifying, powerful, striking and spectacular: with the Racing SPEED11, aficionados of sports cars will find what they are looking for, just as will devotees of fine watches two passions combined with excellence. The watch is worn on a special strap, for which houndstooth patterned inserts are sewn into black calfskin. This watch model deserves the name SPEED11 in every regard: at the first glance, the flat green numerals and the slender hands on the black dial awaken associations with the cockpit of a racing car. Inside the 45 millimeter stainless steel case is the hand-wound movement Alpha CHW 306. Fully wound, the watch has a power reserve of 46 hours. The small second display at six o‘clock with its slim, red hand taken from a speedometer, reinforces this impression. The numbers are inlaid with green SuperLumiNova, the hands with white. 86 86 C.H.WOLF C.H.WOLF Finally, the strap is decorated with a red seam. The large glass bottom made of antireflective sapphire glass displays the finely hand-finished movement to advantage. On the movement, the three-quarter plate holds gold-plated chatons. The model‘s refined, athletic look is completed by fine, glossy chamfers and brushing. Racing SPEED11 87 Racing speed11 Fascinated with technology The C.H.WOLF attention to detail continues its winning streak with the Racing SPEED11: the winding crown has the form of a historic gas tank cap; the dial design evokes the cockpit of a racing car - especially with the hands in characteristic speedometer form; inserts with houndstooth pattern are processed into the calfskin strap. Compelling aesthetics combined with fine, hand worked art: in addition to the three- quarter plate typical of Glashütte, this mechanism has four gold-plated chatons, each of which is held by two hand-polished screws. The finest grindings, engravings and polishing complete the harmonic overall image.

High flyer Pilot Green Mechanical aviator watches are the expression of modern, technicallyoriented taste, constantly moving constantly in rhythm with the pulse of time. Against the dark, olive-colored background, the white minute markings, indexes and numbers contrast clearly, as does the small second indicator at six o‘clock. The desire to translate this taste into a sophisticated watch was the motivation behind the development of the model Pilot GREEN. The hands for hour and minute are coated with luminous material and guarantee perfect readability, even in the dark. The result is a watch that could hardly be more masculine or more distinctive: solid stainless steel case, 45 millimeter in diameter, dial and strap in olive green. The strap is also completely authentic, made of material from a genuine jet pilot‘s uniform. To make it, parts of an anti-G suit are cut to size and sewn onto black calfskin. A watch for high fliers in everyday life. The dial design of the Pilot GREEN is inspired by the appearance of an airplane cockpit, in which mostly round instruments with light indicators on dark backgrounds are found. The indicator arrow at the 12 o‘clock position, the small second at six o‘clock and the large winding crown typical of aviator watches emphasize the watch‘s distinct expression. In the mechanism, this model demonstrates classical Glashütte quality criteria and the design characteristics of C.H.WOLF: a very large sapphire crystal bottom allows easy viewing of the hand-wound movement with fine, orthogonal precision grinding. The entire movement is finely finished and captivates the eye with its graphite grey surface and the stainless steel casing with extra narrow bezel. Following this example, the dial of the Pilot GREEN is clearly and lucidly structured and, consequently, the time can be read at a glance. 92 92 C.H.WOLF C.H.WOLF Pilot GREEN 93 PILOT GREEN PROVEN MATERIAL Parts of an original anti-g suit are incorporated into the strap of the Pilot GREEN authentic material, which has proven itself in numerous operations. Pilots wear anti-g suits when flying jets. The special suits make it possible to offset the enormous forces which affect the human body during acceleration. „g“ refers in this case to the force of gravity. Fighter pilots are sometimes exposed for several seconds at a time to g-forces which amount to multiples of their own bodyweight. When exposed to these g-forces, blood sinks into the lower extremities, causing bloodlessness in the brain, which, in turn, can cause the loss of consciousness. In an anti-g suit, this effect is reduced by the automatic inflation of pressure pads. PILOT GREEN Functions: Hour / Minute / Central- Case: stainless steel 1,4435 second with stop seconds mechanism.

Its nickname served as the inspiration for C.H.WOLF for the creation of a one-of-a-kind, black aviator watch. The fidelity shown to its namesake in the visual interpretation makes this model the perfect accessory for technology enthusiasts. The design concept of a jet black dial with white, luminescent numbers and indexes, the small second display and the indicator arrow at 12 o‘clock come together in an authentic cockpit look, and also ensure an easy and comfortable readability. The graphic division of the scale is reduced to a few lines, only the numbers two, four, eight, and ten are Arabic numerals and displayed especially large. The hour and minute hands have similarly large proportions, their form reminiscent of propeller blades. They are, like the minute markings and indexes, coated with luminous material and easily readable in darkness. The black stainless steel case measures 45 millimeters in diameter. 96 C.H.WOLF Its special PVD coating makes it extremely hard and resistant. The watch is worn on a special strap - a so-called „Trieste strap.“ The basis of this band is calfskin, which is preserved with metal salts and the imprinted with a textile pattern. This means that the leather looks like a woven textile, but, at the same time, has the advantage that the leather - in contrast to actual textiles - keeps its well-maintained appearance for a long time. This guarantees a particularly high level of wearing comfort and completes the technical character of the watch perfectly. This model also has a large, anti-reflective sapphire glass bottom, presenting the finely finished movement with the C.H.WOLF‘s characteristic waffle pattern. Aside from the exclusive finish, the traditional Glashütte three-quarter plate draws attention, anthracite in color like the entire movement. This highlights the jewels and the hand-polished screws to good effect. The crown wheel and the ratchet, with their fine sunburst pattern, complete the striking look of the watch. Pilot BLACK 97 Pilot BLACK Advanced coating technology The case of the Pilot BLACK has a special PVD coating. This refers to physical vapor deposition. The coating is created via the environmentally friendly PVD process in a high vacuum. In this case, a titanium aluminum plate is changed into gas form in a vacuum chamber. The vaporized gas is then added to a part to be coated - the case - on which it condenses and forms the desired layer. Thanks to this extremely hard titanium-aluminum-nitride layer, the surface becomes especially wear-resistant. Furthermore, the coating has a decorative function as well - thanks to its jet black coloration, it completes the technical look of this model perfectly.

This strikingly masculine watch guarantees attention and is the ideal model for a strong, goal-oriented wearer, unwilling to hide his confidence. This is the ideal model for someone who is at once up-to-date and unafraid of the spotlight. black strokes. The hour and minute hands, also in black, are reminiscent of propeller blades in form. Aside from its authentic design, the Pilot GREY is further distinguished by its story. More than anywhere else, this is expressed in the strap: this is made from fighter jacket material. In addition to the band, the massive, 45 millimeter, grey stainless steel case and the anthracite colored dial contribute to the exciting look of this aviator‘s watch. The highest possible degree of hardness and wear-resistance are ensured by the PVD coating used for this eye-catching case. On the inside the finely finished movement with the characteristic C.H.WOLF waffle pattern runs smoothly, perfectly visible through the large, anti-reflection sapphire glass bottom. The association to cockpit instruments is further strengthened by the characteristic look of the dial: hour and minute markings are presented simply as striking 100 C.H.WOLF As well as the indexes, they are inlaid with luminescent Super-LumiNova thereby making time clearly readable, even in darkness. The discrete second display at six o‘clock reinforces the strikingly masculine look. The glass bottom also proudly displays the movement‘s Glashütte origins, revealing typical features such as the exclusive finishing on the balance cock and the three-quarter plate. Particularly noble decorative grindings on the crown wheel and ratchet, as well as polished screws, finest jewels and the gold-plated balance all complete the picture. Pilot GREY 101 PILOT GREY Functional, durable and indestructible This model also finds a proven, authentic material being used. Leather from a pilot‘s jacket from the Bundeswehr (German Army) is sewn into the strap of the Pilot GREY. In order to stand up to the difficult conditions of military routine or deployment, these jackets have to meet the highest standards: they should be warm and weatherproof, reliably protect against heat, cold, rain and snow and, at the same time, wear comfortably. Thanks to their robust workmanship, the pilots‘ jackets of the Bundeswehr are considered durable and hardwearing. These properties also come to bear on the watch straps. They wrap excellently around the wrist of their wearer and withstand even hard strains.

The red of the fabric on the dial and strap forms a dramatic combination with the jet black of the case and the calfskin strap. It also distinguishes itself with the high level of wear resistance, thanks to its PVD coating. On the inside, the handwound mechanism Alpha CHW302 can be admired through the large sapphire crystal bottom. The classic look of instruments in an airplane cockpit served as inspiration: round instruments with black background and light colored indicators. The dial of the Pilot RED is covered with red cellulose acetate. In the beginning of the 20th century, this material was used as a covering for airplanes and airships. The clearly designed dial with the indicator arrow at 12 o‘clock and the characteristic winding crown builds conspicuously on the appearance of historical aviator watches. The fabric is similar to rayon in its haptics and feels wonderfully soft. In addition to the dial, C.H.WOLF also incorporates this synthetic silk in the strap of the Pilot RED. The hands evoke the form of propeller blades and, together with the indexes, are inlaid with white luminous material. This, as well as the reduction hour and minute, with a small second indicator at six o‘clock, reinforces the watch‘s excellent readability. With the utmost care, the fire red fabric panels are sewn into the black calfskin straps and give this model its unmistakable character. In addition to its striking look, the watch impresses with numerous highlights of material and processing: the 45 millimeter case from black stainless steel makes a very distinctive and masculine impression with its size alone. 104 C.H.WOLF Pilot RED 105 PILOT RED Case: stainless steel 1,4435, PVD-coated, black Dial: textile red Hands: black, noctilucent Movement: Alpha CHW 302 Reference: AP-450-06-302-30-02 Functions: Hour / Minute / Centralsecond with stop seconds mechanism. 46 hours power reserve.

Flymatic CHRONO „Ciao, Servus and Goodbye, I am off!“ Many people are drawn out into the world, all for their own reasons. Only the hour displays at two, four, eight, and ten are in Arabic numerals and are portrayed particularly largely. The Flymatic CHRONO will impress them all: the pioneers and explorers just as much as the globe trotters and cosmopolitans. The hour and minute hands are also larger and are inlaid with white luminous material, as are the minute scale and indexes. The athletic timepiece offers the following functions: the date and time display for the current location, as well as for another location and a chronograph mechanism, with which time can be measured exactly to the second. Two additional push-buttons at two and four o‘clock serve to operate the chronograph function. A large, red stopped second indicator operates on the dial during the timekeeping. The additional 30 minute counter at 12 o‘clock and the 12 hour counter at six o‘clock make it possible to measure longer periods of time. The perfect companion for frequent travelers around the world. Despite the numerous functions, the watch does not make a cluttered impression. The galvanically blackened dial is clearly and lucidly organized. It is surrounded by a rotatable city ring. Date and time can be read at first glance, thanks to the discreet date display at three o‘clock and the reduction of the scale to dash marks. 110 C.H.WOLF The established automatic mechanism CHW502 ticks in the 45 millimeter stainless steel case, offering up to 48 hours of power reserve. The watch is worn on a special band: a so-called „Trieste“, which also makes wearing the model Pilot BLACK so pleasant. Thanks to its special surface finishing, this strap is especially robust and durable. Flymatic CHRONO 111 FLYMATIC CHRONO 24 TIMEZONES In 1884, the International Meridian Conference agreed upon a world-wide time system: the division of the earth into 24 time zones. Of course, it was not until the 20th century that watches with time zone indicators gained in importance. The rapid development of aviation and the subsequent increase in the number of travelers crossing time zones necessitated keeping an eye on the time in different places at once.

Winding a watch movement is, for many people, a ritual. It is a moment that anchors them in their day, integral to the act of putting on their watches each morning. For a few moments, their concentration is fully focused on the delicate sound of the mechanism, on the gentle movement of the crown. The ALPHA hand-wound mechanisms turn this ritual into a celebration - every day. 122 C.H.WOLF ALPHA 123 Alpha hand-wound movements FASCINATING TRIBUTE TO PRECISION WATCH MAKING All hand-wound movements from C.H.WOLF are distinguished by a special decoration: the so-called “waffle pattern“. This fine network of lines can also be found on historic marine chronometers. Then, it assisted with regulating the movement. This delicate, orthogonal decoration is C.H.WOLF‘s tribute to the pioneers of Glashütte watchmaking art, keeping a piece of this masterful tradition alive. A few models with ALPHA hand-wound caliber are distinguished by an additional special feature: gold plated chatons hold four of the seventeen fine jewel bearings. These chatons are each anchored in the three-quarter plate by two hand-polished screws. On the anthracite-colored movement, they are a fascinating eye-catcher.
