Got my Stowa Antea KS, first manual winding watch
I have been into bauhaus design style dial recently, and decided to pick up this Stowa Antea KS. I looked into Nomos as well, but Stowa is less expensvie and has more numbers on the dial 😉
Working with a manual winding watch is lots of fun, also makes the watch much thinner. But the non-hacking movement is driving me a bit crazy.

Look at the finishing on movement though. Wow. Nice pickup.
Beautiful movement. I am a sucker for blued screws.
Love Stowa watches, would love to own one too, there's some real cred in their name. Sadly I've started the long haul saving for a Dornbluth 99.1 so there'll be no Stowa's for me for the next 5 years at least!
Great design. I also enjoy the minimalist dials.
Nice one, I went for the #nomos over a year ago, but they're both great! However,I think the original design actually came from Stowa back on the 1930s.
I do think that non-hacking on small seconds is not such a big issue, since you won't be really timing anything with that minimalist subdial anyway 😂
I have a #stowa Partitio and can only say that the finishing is really great, especially for the money 💸 really appreciate the brand!
You may be able to retard the seconds by winding backward. I'm not sure it's the greatest thing to do all that frequently, but it is a trick that can be done. I've come to see non-hacking seconds as a blessing that save a minute or two when setting a stopped watch.
