I am not thinking straight for sure..... It has always been a 50-50 feeling for me to part this piece away. But I need cash urgently, so this
unique conversational timepiece has to go...
Magellan Watch is named after Ferdinand Magellan (1479–1521). This great navigator and explorer embarked on a daring expedition that has become known as the first circumnavigation of the world. The expedition proved conclusively that earth is round and is even today considered one of the most important feats in human history.
Magellan Watch is established in the heart of the Swiss watch-production region. Employing some of the most gifted local craftsmen, the company creates and produces tactile and aesthetically pleasing timepieces - incorporating proven high quality Swiss precision components- dedicated to a discerning clientele, world-wide.
