Stowa Partitio - first 48 hours
Quick Bottom line:
A well done affordable watch with a proven ETA engine (2801 Handwound) and cool retro styling.
From the Stowa website:
"The classic elegant three-hand watch is based on a 1930's model, a time when clearly designed
(influenced by Bauhaus) functional dials prevailed.
The minute- and second dial is exceedingly fine - divided in smallest partitions - which explains the name of the model: Partitio.
The crown and the buckle are engraved with the STOWA Logo."
They are right on all counts.
Very legible dial that has an eggshell texture and "syringe" hands:
Step back and see the whole watch....notice the sweep and has no tail.....love this small feature. I don't think I've seen it before, or at least not very often.
A "gentlemenly" 37mm but don't fooled - it wears larger because it is pretty much all dial. Here it is on my 7.5 wrist:
The lume is actually pretty good. Lasts through the night after the initial charge
Signed crown has deep logo:

That's a good looking watch! If they made a 42mm version I'd be in.
Re: Stowa Patitio - first 48 hours
I really like it. Nice, clean and legible design, like a German Weiss.

Hop, Arce, Rahul, Terry - thanks! It is a different arrow in the quiver and worth trying out so far

That's about as clean a white dial as it gets...

Re: Stowa Partitio - first 48 hours
Very cool, Mike. You're right. Based on your pics it does look like it wears large. The lug-to-lug seems long, too. I bet that contributes...
Reminds me a bit of the Nomos Club. Nice.
