Seen It Before / Not Appealing to Me


over the years, people have sent me photos of this model. them seem to show up at the German watch fairs, if memory serves me correctly, generally described as prototypes, etc.

personally -- and this is a matter of asethetics and preferences -- I am happy that it didn't go into production. too ugly / busy (to my eye), and it's missing the hour recorder.

I have not listed it in the Tables, because I am told that it was only a prototype. I'm not sure that I would call it "transitional", as I'm not sure what it transitioned "to"??

I hope that you take these as my personal views / preferences, and are not offended. I should add that I have never seen this one in-the-metal.

Thanks for sharing photos of this interesting Autavia.

Jeff
