  • Tonight we look at a brand that at one point in time was groundbreaking... And now is on par with Wish watches. So sad.

    Their old pieces were so elegant and had so much charm! Two of my favorite pieces are Wittnauer. The dials are just so stunning. The movement though could use some work, to be totally honest...

      Yep, I currently have two Wittnauers in my possession and they're both absolutely brilliant looking.

    As a kid in the late 70s, I remember some game shows giving away "Longines-Wittnauer" watches as prizes.

    There seems to be an imposter on your channel Uncle Normski - some dude claiming to be Norman who states it is ‘late at night’ but he’s not wearing a hat

    The ALLPROOF, what a watch! That's the type of heritage we need around today! Unfortunately, befell the same fate as Invicta. Great video and research buddy

    Scary collection that makes HMT look like a fekkin Rolex.....The design aesthetic of a Disney pricess, a five year olds idea of glamour....

    Those are expensive retail prices for how bad resale value is.

    Also - loving me a bit of wittnauer history. They did some cool LED watches too.

    Indeed Norman. US made Wittnauer was once a quality brand with a fine reputation. I would not pay what amounts to hundreds of dollars for a Chinese made pastiche.

    Those new ones are just gross. Like designed by a 7 year old girl.

    “I hate that I made the mistake of clicking on their website”
    So you decided to punish us for it?
    Wittnauer could literally do nothing but retro reissues and sell better than this…

    Timestamp 947 you say the watch is 30 meters wide. That's going to fit one big M/Fer
