Here is a watch company you may not have heard of before! I stumbled across their website, instantly took a liking to the interestingly named 'Hydroscaph' and immediately sought after second hand prices on Chrono24. I was surprised to see that Chrono24 doesn't list them as a manufacturer - If you haven't seen the Chrono24 manufacturer search list, it's huge!

I quite like the Clerc Hydroscaph with carbon fibre bezel:

I believe the movements are all in-house, but not sure on pricing ... Does anyone know how much the Hydroscaph is, or has anyone had experience with Clerc watches? smile


ETA: Here is a review of the Hydroscaph GMT, with lots of pictures available: http://www.ablogtoread.com/clerc-hydroscaph-gmt-wa...
Not the prettiest of the range, but I love the attention to detail and robust 'tool' watch approach. Note the amount of Allen key bolts used throughout. I like it. tongue out

Well I have a clerc scuba in my collection and my wife has a ladies version
Very well made deadly accurate and lose second hand value faster than a falling housebrick of a cliff
But still popular with the Hollywood type in US
So perfect buy second hand but new !!!!

Holy thread resurrection, Batman! I've just seen this ...

It's not the nicest looking watch, but it's certainly different! Check out the attention to detail in the 360 degree view smile

Paying retail would be a bad idea on a Clerc.

I had the chronometer version of this a while back, BNIB+P for a couple of hundred. Retail was 3500 dollars, IIRC.
