In Response To: Mikrogirder ()

Why not Mikroglider??

:

: I like it for its mechanical achievement. I like the styling -
: stopwatch emerging from a Carrera case is an interesting choice
: and I bet it makes it comfortable to wear.

: Not easy to read, but then it was never going to be compared to a
: digital timer and it's more of a "to prove we
: can"-type watch.

: But the name?! Oh dear. Girders say solidity, substance. Micro ones
: not so much. I can see what they're getting at but I wish they'd
: found a different name. Not that one occurs to me at the moment
: either!
