Even though the brand is better noted for its ‘sporty’

And ‘active service’ collections, operated by modified Swiss workhorses like the Valjoux 7750, Delecate always aspired to bring Tutima home. It was initiated within the mid-2000s, as well as in 2011 the brand new Tutima Manufacture in Glasshütte was inaugurated. At this juncture, the notable Tutima Glashütte Hommage Minute Repeater, developed and produced in-house, was presented. The timepiece we're reviewing today, the Patria, is really a pink gold dress watch operated by a handwound movement (the caliber 617) which was the bottom for that Hommage minute repeater that was presented in 2013. The Tempostopp, an in-house column-wheel chronograph was presented this season to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the trademark, and it is movement is just drop dead gorgeous.

The Tutima Patria is definitely an elegant dress watch 

Which will come in 2 different versions: the Patria Small Seconds, a 3-hander having a small seconds at 6, and also the Patria Dual Time having a coaxial GMT hands within the subsidiary seconds dial. Each model is given an opalin silver dial with either Arabic numerals or applied markers, combined with fine gold hands. The minimalist, highly legible dial has outstanding balance having a recessed center along with a guilloche pattern for that small seconds subdial.

The handwound Tutima calibre 617 is really a large (31.6 mm) movement finished towards the ambitious standards of traditional Saxon watchmaking. The very first factor to blow you away may be the three-quarter plate, gold-plated and decorated with striking even stripes. The ratchet and crown wheels have a sunburst finish. The gorgeous click is a fairly touch. Three jewels are held into gold chatons and also the screw heads are finely polished.

The movement is rounded by helping cover their an openwork cock 

Along with a variable inertia balance with gold screws along with a Breguet hairspring. The calibre 617 runs at 21’600 vibrations each hour and offers a healthy 65-hour power reserve.

The 43 mm round situation is fashioned from pink gold featuring a rather domed azure very with double sided anti-reflective coating. The crown-guard lends it a unique character. The see-through situation back provides a fantastic look at the movement. Around the wrist, the Patria is just stunning, as well as very comfortable, along with a hands-stitched alligator strap guaranteed with a gold pin buckle sets the ultimate touch.

Tutima isn't encircled through the aura of probably the most esteemed Glasshütte brands. However the more I consider the company, its background and products, the greater I've found Tutima interesting. At 13’800 euros, the Patria is certainly expensive, however this handsome timepiece appears really fairly priced for which that is available.
