Title: Schroeder GMT Automatic, from a watchmaker in Luxembourg
Post by: meoramri on October 24, 2011, 12:29:47 PM

Founded in 1877 by Maison Schroeder, suppliers of the Royal Family of Luxembourg, Schroeder timepieces are relatively unknown outside of that part of Europe. The one that I got was the men steel watch with automatic movement, second time zone, exposed mechanism (see-through back plate), silvered dial and leather strap.

The following pictures were taken using the Nikon D80 SLR.

No complaints. ETA movement works like clockwork.

What the size of the case?

looks comfortable wearing it as the lug curve nicely ;) Any wrist shoot?

Nice watch. True that it is unheard of. How'd you get a hold of this watch?

I was bumming around Luxemburg with a fellow MWF member when we saw the watch shop. Instead of just browsing I got that piece. Cost: Euro850.

kltime: thanks!

watchmanu: Not everyday you find a watch designed in Luxembourg

hotshothunk: Unfortunately, Schroeder is an independent jeweler operating out of Luxembourg. Don't think they have global ambitions

Laktos Kid: Thanks!
