Iron Annie - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

I love the readability of this watch and its simple and smart design. At night, it is a real beacon and during the day, its main exterior in "minutes" and the interior in "hours" allow precise reading in the blink of an eye. The cream background, the ultra-thin second hand with a tiny tear at the end, the size, the readability of the large crown, the aged leather strap: all the "retro-pilot" codes are there. The flat background (transparent), the rounded horns, the excellent quality of the soft leather with a very fine grain, make it pleasant to wear every day. The visible movement (SW200 in my case) is very soberly decorated. It keeps time very well (5/7s per day over 15 days).

This watch has a slightly domed mirror-polished steel case. The beige dial is very pleasant to look at. The applied indexes blend perfectly with the power reserve, the date and the day of the week. The domed glass completes the antique character of the timepiece. This model is particularly well finished, as evidenced by the work around the oscillating weight. The pierced horns facilitate a possible change of strap, without distorting the slightly outdated appearance of the timepiece. The absence of a logo on the crown, as well as the quality of the strap are the weak points of this model, which nevertheless remains very endearing.
