Great video, what a nice guy! Have that 39mm Flyback Panda for about 4 months and it almost never leaves my wrist since. Love the proportion, the dial and this absolutely stunning case!

Ahhh, Hanhart... My Grail Watch... Love the history n their tech being the best of both Swiss n German... Looking at the 417ES... ❤

Absolut pleasure. Nice moment in horology. 👍👍👍thanks from France

Fantastic interview and I echo what someone else said about turning on CC! Much better 😃 I live in Brisbane and somehow never knew about Define Watches until recently when you posted another video, mind blown. So excited to get up there and try on a Sinn! And many others 😅

What an amazing stock of watches he has. Makes me want to holiday in Noosa before it gets cooler.

Those Habring watches are very lovely. I never heard of Lang and Heyne but heck, they are something, too. And then the imperious Dornbluth. Totally agree with the little imperfections that so personalise something like this. Then that simple, gorgeous Hanhart for $1400, what a beautiful piece. What a feast. Super video, loved it Pete, and the other Pete is a super guy, many thanks to him also👍👍

I have Laco, Sinn and Hanhart...I would buy from them without hesitation. "Swiss" is overrated and a price tax.

Habring 2 are actually from Austria and even though me might speak the same language, we're not the same ^^ (the next time I'll drop some serious cash on a watch it will probably be a Habring 2 since I love that we have such a talented watchmaker who used to work for some of the big names in the game before)

Unwatchable… the sound level disparity is inconvenient. You could have put the mike closer to him, your voice too loud w r t his. And is a pity because I wanted to hear what Pete had to say, I have bought a Sinn from him over the internet and we communicated via email. Pity cannot hear him…

Thanks as always Pete for the video. Great opportunity to see these brands in person. We don't really have a chance to see Sinn in person in the US. Question - I have been researching Sinn Chronographs and wondering about thickness, especially on the Diapals although also as a whole. Any you might avoid or recommend for thickness for a 16cm+ wrist? Cheers from Montana. 🌲⛰️🦬

@PeterKotsa

Correct, some of the Diapals are indeed a tad thick. For me I try to stick to 14-15mm and under in case height. A while back I reviewed a Sinn which was around 17mm and it was beyond my comfort zone
