Enigma from G. Gerlach, a new classic

Off topic: Small independent polish watch designer G. Gerlach has started a new project, the Enigma. The watch is expected to be finished in Q2 of 2015.

It caught my eye because of the clear references to classic 60/70s chronographs, a cushion case and an overall pleasing design. The size has been updated to a perfect 43 mm wide x 49 mm long.
 


It is fun to follow the process as the different parts of the watch are made. What has been revealed so far is watch case prototypes and dial prototype. It will be available in several color combinations.
 
 


Follow the advances at G. Gerlach's Facebook-page, at these threads on Watch Freeks and on Watchuseek.

The price will be a modest 205 Euros. Yes, I have a preordered one. Looking forward to see it in real life.

UPDATE: The Enigma has now been released. Read a very nice review of the Enigma here.
After much research and many considerations I have ordered the black version... still waiting for delivery, though.
