    Will there be another Flieger Original?

    Hello to all Stowa lovers here.

    Do you think Jörg will release someday a Flieger original again?
    Although I own a 2001LE Flieger and a marine auto is on its way, I'm still deraming night and day about a flieger original.
    I believe that I'm not the only one. So will we see one at the catalog soon?

    I need to understand, I badly need that watch! :)

    ...well, I miss the FO because of the short stock of 6497 "Central Seconds" (it was the 2008 IIRC),
    and, as far as I know, even the ETA 2801 will be difficult to find in the near future.
    So, maybe the question is: there will never be a Durowe by Stowa with the central seconds complication ?

    I hope so...

    So is the Central Second Unitas the only issue?
    So I hope Jörg will read this, as I understood from another forum a Swiss company called ISOPROG makes the modifications to bring the central second on the Unitas.
    I've heard that the previous supplier (Choisy, I believe) has stopped its production.
    But ISOPROG can make them a watchmaker assossiation that I know is going to buy some central second Unitas from them and they accept to supply them even in small quantities...

    oh that's wonderful, didn't know that... thank you for sharing...
    BTW the IP 13 caliber seems just like the one onboard the Chronoswiss Timemaster...

    Did'nt know about the Chronoswiis Unitas modification, but same thing it has a centrale second.
    Also the IP13 features the 10 Oclock second stop when setting the time.

    @ achanonier:
    Also the IP13 features the 10 Oclock second stop when setting the time.
    It should read 12, shouldn't it?



    That movement was also used by GUINAND and STEINHART:


    GUINAND / CHRONOSPORT:




    STEINHART:




    STOWA:



    The last is the one I like most,
