For my fellow watch lovers in the lower 48 - and possibly even further afield...

Allow me to either introduce, or reacquaint you with Auricoste!  Okay, you ask - just who or what is Auricoste? Auricoste started out way back in 1854. Over time, Auricoste developed into one of the most notable providers of purpose built time keeping instruments - including watches ; )

This is the Type20 Flymaster. And yes, there have been plenty of Type 20s released, but this one rings true to me.

This chronograph is available direct from the brand. For those of you wanting to see on in person? You will need to grab your passport and hop on over to France. But considering that you can avail yourself of all of the wonderful things in  France during your shopping trip? Count me in!
