Tempostopp 6650-01

Column wheel. Flyback. Two of the most admired complications in chronograph watchmaking — the column wheel because of the precision required to machine it, the flyback because it lets you reset and restart timing in a single push instead of three. 236 parts. Cal. T659 — named for the UROFA Calibre 59 that powered the 1941 Fliegerchronograph. Originals of that wartime movement sell for €6,000–10,000 on the secondary market. The Tempostopp is a new movement built in its spirit: three years in development. 90 pieces in 18K rose gold, made for Tutima's 90th anniversary. Cal. T659 is one of very few flyback chronograph calibers still built in Glashütte.
