Description
Dornblueth & Sohn’s timepieces are renowned for their classical appearance, precise, in-house movements, and exquisite craftsmanship. The calibre 99 collections epitomise these traits and present various complications with Dornblueth’s DNA and signature finish.
The 99.4 forms part of the classic collection with centred hour & minute hand, an enlarged small second sub dial set at 9 o’clock and a date wheel at 3 o’clock.
