Is yours the only one here on TZ-UK?

Not seen a Kairos on here either....

Ha!

Ha!

Well done that man, quality choice.

Haven't seen you post it here before, same seconds hand as mine too - the ones I've seen elsewhere have a different seconds hand with a hollow end counterbalance to match the hours and minutes hand.

Interesting on a bracelet - did it come on that or did you add it later? As a dress watch I prefer it on leather myself, would like to see what it looks like on the wrist on the bracelet, do you have a wrist shot?

I bought this new from an AD in 1994, it was on a green ostrich strap then. I wore it every day for more than 15 years, going through a number of original Chronoswiss straps in ostrich and shark skin. When I started collecting watches, I stumbled across a two-tone Kairos on bracelet on eBay which was so cheap that I had to buy it, so I ended up with two. After a couple of years I had never worn the two-tone, so decided I was going to sell it again. The buyer preferred the strap, so I kept the bracelet with my original steel model. Then my ex-wife wore it for a while, she has so delicate wrists that I had to disassemble/wreck the bracelet to shorten it to her size. I already bought a new buckle a while ago, just need to put it back on a strap.

Here is the only picture I could find on the bracelet (before I wrecked it):




...and here is a snap of the two-tone:

Thanks for the update Raffe. Looks to be still in excellent condition but would certainly look better on a strap IMO. Mine's on it's original black Ostrich strap, but I'll put it on an Alligator when this one wears out as I think that would suit it better. Mine was a birthday present from my wife, Lynn, back in 2007.

Not sure I'd take to the two tone either, I don't think it suits the style and takes away from the lovely silver guilloche dial on these.

Great to see another on the forum, they have a rather attractive simplicity.

Well, if anybody has been attracted by our little discussion, eBay Germany is full of them (even if most seem to be a bit optimistic price-wise).
