Chronograph WatchesA chronograph is a watch that also records time intervals like a stopwatch.…
very beautiful watches my friend:) love them all:)
Classics! I just love them.
I once owned a Yema Yachting Chronograph watch with a Blue Shark Skin Strap, which I stupidly sold on for a ridiculously low price. Watches back then were not fetching what they are now. I wish I had held on to it now as it was a stunning watch and I have never seen another one like it anywhere.
I offer a watch sourcing service for my clients, mainly prestige brands such as Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Rolex (Vintage) and various other high quality Swiss made watches. If someone asked me to source a Yema Yachting, I would come unstuck for sure. I love your Yema, its a typical colour combination and is absolutely timeless, even today it looks like a modern watch!
