When the original MIH watch was introduced in 2005, it cost CHF 6,000. It’s commendable that the Mechanik2 keeps this price about the same. Compared to so many of the releases we’ve seen this year, an annual calendar monopusher chronograph with a truly original design for about $7,000 isn’t a bad deal.
The original MIH watch was a real insider’s watch: made in limited quantities with proceeds going to a horology museum, designed by three legendary watchmakers and designers. The new Mechanik2 carries on this legacy, evolving the watch just enough so that it’s not a reissue but a true second coming of an enthusiast favorite.
