Way Before the Chronomatics, There Were the Intramatics

Way before the Chronomatics, we had the Intramatics. And without this thin, automatic movement, who can say whether or not there would have been the Chronomatics, at least in the Spring of 1969.

I really enjoy this watch . . . very light and thin . . . beautiful lustre on the dial . . . absolutely minimalist two-hand design, with simple applied markers . . . nice for the days when you don't want to feel your watch (or if narrow cuffs present a limitation) . . . the tiny crown is consistent with the left-side placement on the Chronomatics, suggesting that you will only be using the crown to set the watch, and not to wind it.

Yes, this is one of my favorites! It also reminds me the many types and styles of watches that can be good fun!
