U1 hands

[David Woo]

a friend asked me to send him some photos from Konrad's book and I thought you all may enjoy them as well: these are vintage military predecessors for the U1 hands.

Thanks for sharing, David! While I can't read the German, I can appreciate the neat pics! Cheers, Bill P.

When I first saw the U1 years ago, I immediately thought of these pictures in Konrad Knirim's first book. So when my friend wondered about the lego hands, I scanned these photos for him: not much is really new.
I'm saving my pennies for the 2nd volume on british mil watches :)

While I can't read the German....

Below the text in german, there is (usually) the translation in english :)

btw, I read somewhere that while Sinn still sells the NaBo line of aviation/rallye clocks, Revue Thommen actually builds them, with a Sinn-branded dial.
