Still All the Rage

The oldest timepiece was designed by Patek Philippe on behalf of Countess Koscowicz in the 16th century. Made from gold and valuable stones, it was just as much a piece of jewellery as it was functional. And this concept has been revived. In the era of mobile phones and health trackers, wristwatches have gone from being of practical use to being mainly accessories again, just as they were initially. The Rondomat II (17-12098-241) is an automatic wristwatch featuring an analogue display. Your own activity will keep this model running smoothly, a sophisticated and eco-friendly source of power. Or you could purchase an auto watch winder. These miniature gadgets reproduce your motions, and keep your watch wound, even if you don’t wear it regularly.

How water resistant is it?

Bruno Söhnle state that this watch is water resistant to 5ATM. You can occasionally wear it in the shower or while swimming. But keep in mind that a dip in a hot jacuzzi could be detrimental to its sealed coating. The creation has a case size of 41 mm. It is fastened with a double safety folding clasp. Sapphire glass guards the face. This is top-of-the-line material and extremely scratch resistant, though it is vulnerable to cracking and shattering.
