MIH Watch Annual Calendar Monopusher Chronograph

How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

Launched in 2005 and produced until 2020 at a rate of around 100 units per year, the MIH Watch Annual Calendar Monopusher Chronograph is a testament to minimalist design and horological excellence. Created by Ludwig Oechslin of Ulysee Nardin fame, and world class movement specialist Paul Gerber, this timepiece combines simplicity with sophisticated functionality that results in a wonderfully unique wearing experience. The watch features an annual calendar, requiring only one adjustment per year, alongside a monopusher chronograph, which allows the user to start, stop, and reset the chronograph with a single button – two high-end complications that are seldom combined, even in very high end watchmaking. Boasting a clean dial design, devoid of excessive markings, this watch’s black diaplsy emphasizes legibility and elegance. The 42mm x 15mm titanium case houses a modified Valjoux 7750 movement with a 9-piece annual calendar module created by Ludwig Oechslin. The watch's understated aesthetics are complemented by a robust, yet refined, construction, making it suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.

THE DIAL
THE DIAL

Offered with an understated black dial, the MIH Watch's display undersells the complexity of its combination of a monopusher chronograph and annual calendar complication.

THE CONSTRUCTION
THE CONSTRUCTION

While bulky at 42mm x 15mm, the MIH Watch retains plenty of comfortable wearability thanks to its short lugs and titanium construction that ensures it is light on the wrist.

Condition

Watch is in near-mint condition. Watch was overhauled and had its case detailed in 2022, and has since acquired little signs of wear.

Our Perspective

An interesting concept realised as an equally interesting watch, the MIH Annual Calendar Monopusher Chronograph combines two of watchmaking's high-end complications into one affordable yet rare timepiece.
