Iron Annie Watch

Post by AtomicTom » Tue May 08, 2018 9:52 am

Just seeing this new brand which looks to be related to Junkers, and Graf
Zeppelin, and is owned by a company called POINTtec everyone.

This new line of Aviation watches have 41-42mm stainless steel cases, 50 meter
water resistance, hardened mineral crystals, hand made leather straps, and both
automatic, and quartz movements from the ETA Valjoux 7750, Miyota 8285, and
8217, to different Ronda quartz like the 6203.B. With watch names like the Iron
Annie Automatic, Cockpit Automatic, the Amazonas Impression, Bauhaus Series,
Big Date, Quartz Chronograph, and more.

Here is a look...

well this is pretty much a mashup of the junghans meister and max bill, but with a fuglier logo.

I once had a tryst with Iron Annie. My safe word was "snugglebunny."

I think I’d have to change the type to “Iron Cock Annie Pit”

another case of a halfway decent looking watch screwed up by a stupid name or logo :raised:

New brands not lasting 5 seconds here. There seems to be an endless churn of crap, no wonder these micros are getting hammered here. It would be nice to see something original. Seems that all the creativity that enabled so many micros have evaporated. Hard pass on this one too.

Not too bad looking but each one has something extra that is almost too much. I would have liked just 3 hands with date or even without it. Thank you Tom for sharing.

You guys are just the best !!! :grin: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: So funny ! :)

Actually thought the overall design of these was cool, and that the Cockpit was
the cleanest I guess. But like everyone is saying, and Carlo picked up on perfectly,
it seems like the watches have that little extra that takes away from the watches
a little.

Can imagine these watches without a lot of the extra writing, and markings.

Thanks so much once again just for looking, and for all your opinions you guys !
