Andreas Strehler Time Shadow Owner Review : Exclusive, surprising and rare

The Time Shadow is a watch created by Andreas Strehler, a renowned independent watchmaker. This model is limited to 8 pieces. It is also the only model in the collection that is offered with a steel case and not in precious metals. The so-called "cocoon" shape (a sort of barrel shape) is surprisingly pleasant to wear despite my rat wrists. The time display is quite special, with a disk that displays the hours, and the hand that displays the minutes. The dial is made of titanium, with an orange Lumicast pellet under the hour disk. The finishes are obviously exemplary, an alternation of hand chamfering and satin microblasting offers a beautiful depth and a beautiful contrast to the movement. This model serves as an entry-level for an Andreas Strehler watch, even with its 56,000 CHF which remains a substantial budget, we are still far from the other creations of the watchmaker.
