I like this!
Reminds me of the Junghans Max Bill full calendar.
Also like the lugs on this.
The Nomos Tangente has a similar design too, but the lugs are too harsh for me.
Very minimalist, German style.
Dufa is owned by Dartmouth Brands. Dartmouth owns a number of watch brands, the most well known of which are probably Spinnaker and AVI-8. They own a lot of brands.
If you look on the Dartmouth Brands website, you will see that they have a UK address.
What you won’t see is that Dartmouth Brands is owned by Solar Time Ltd whose registered business address is 15/f., Kowloon Centre, 29 - 39 Ashley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China.

They took the name of an old German brand and factory, and literally pump out “Bauhaus”-inspired watches. It’s incredibly cynical.
