verything that came after that was actually just tinkering with well-known designs, add another dial color, add a bronze case, add different color to numbers/indexes, add the hundredth limited edition. Nothing refreshing new.

i totally agree with that. From a Stowaristi Fan view the Models have been lacking.

although Stowa has a tremendous Heritage and Collection in its Museum, Not Even a new dial / hands combination found its way in existing cases. That would have been possible without much Risk to the Company i assume.

my hope is that the new owner is going This way, or Even just Makes re-Releases of Some watches from the past 80 years…

Too expensive, a Stowa with UWD movement would cost double the price of a Rana.

I agree;
But i See a small Business case in Highly deckorated Standard movements, that could be sourced via the new Company structure.
Customized via online configuration, for stowaristi hardcore Fans.
Not for Stowas Core Business.

lets say i would be a hardcore Stowa fan and want e.g. a Marine Original in a Sterling Silver case plus a customized Unitas 6498-2 with „durowe“ Bridges/Cocks i might Pay 3.000 plus Euros.

could me a niche for fans.

DUW Company could be capable of producing such customized Parts.

but: Newsletter was sent out with a Advent Calender Information.
They decided to create one in the factory and decorated it whith rejected dials / straps from suppliers which didnt meet the quality expectations from Tempus.

Reasoning behing this is "Green/sustainable" reusage....

But: no advent calender sale was announced how we know it from previous years where Jörg sold watches from fairs etc.
I doubt that Tempus was present at fairs this years anyways.. so thats why there might be no so watches.
