Unfortunately, Google translate neither Babel Fish work on this type of flash web page. Still, you can meet the "Meisters" or master watchmakers behind these coveted watches and witness in photographs and short video clips the incredible amount of skill, craftsmanship and artistry that goes into these SD timepieces. These watchmakers have won international competitions and have been granted honors directly from the Emperor of Japan. They even create their own custom tools to build the movements.Enjoy!

Benrus 14k + diamonds...?
Hello, I must admit, I just joined the forums minutes ago. I have come because my father recently passed away and left me this watch (amongst others). I've searched this and many other websites and I could not find its vintage or value. I am not looking to sell it as it has sentimental value, I just would like to know what I have.

In the very early 1980's, the watch stem became loose. Rather than having the watch sent to Ebel for repair I opted to let the local jeweler just tighten the stem.

It is a 17 jewel movement Swiss unadjusted. It no longer has the original Ebel movement and the inside of the case has had some changes to accommodate th
