Love Overdue - Martin Braun Returns!

Courtesy of Martin Braun

Long before I got into the watch game, I was a fan of Martin Braun. Here was a guy who steadily built his own brand, and with its sale to the Franck Muller group it seemed like the next logical step in the "Groupification" of brands back at the turn of the century. It is safe to say that things did not exactly go as planned, and for better (or in this case, much worse) the brand was not really looked after by its new owners. And thus Martin Braun's wonderful horological creations entered the wilderness just outside of Watch Town.

But today, gentle reader, I am very please to inform you that Martin Braun, and perhaps his signature piece, the EOS are back!

In partnership with Gnomonik, the EOS is back and better than ever!

For those of you unfamiliar, the EOS won a boat load of awards for its unique complication that enabled it to provide the correct time for both sunrise and for sunset!
