Full-Cataloguing
Good To Know:
- Exceedingly limited production
- In Like-new condition
- Accompanied by all of its original accessories
Launched in 2005, the MIH Watch was conceived not as a commercial product, but as a minimalist tribute to horological culture. Designed for the Musée International d’Horlogerie (MIH) in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the project united the visionary philosophy of curator Ludwig Oechslin with the technical mastery of Paul Gerber and the industrial design of Christian Gafner.
Housed in a 42mm matte titanium case, the watch epitomizes "reductionist" complexity. It features a revolutionary annual calendar that displays the day, month, and date in a single window using only nine moving parts—a testament to Oechslin’s genius for mechanical efficiency. Built upon a robust Valjoux 7750 base, the movement also incorporates a mono-pusher chronograph, cleverly hidden to maintain the dial’s stark, functional aesthetic.
The dial itself is devoid of traditional branding, featuring only "MIH" at the 9 o’clock position and a signature red dot on the sweeping seconds hand. Eschewing superfluous luxury, the watch was famously sold wrapped in a copy of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung newspaper. Preserved in like-new overall condition, the present watch marks the brand’s auction debut in Phillips.
