Take Muhle Glashutte, better from this two imho, besides chronographs are not for suits at all.

I am currently looking at German watches. I like the clean, industrial, no bling look.

I usually wear suits. Platinum wedding ring only jewellery on me.

Which one of these two?

The first one is superclean from Glashutte & Muhle

Second one is a little more complicated- from Sothis.

New Chopard Luna d'Oro Perpetual Calendar with a retro-grade date that my wife purchased for my 30th Birthday. Unfortunately, it'll be sitting in a safe for another 9 months until I'm actually 30! However, I certainly enjoy looking at this picture of it on...

Industrial??

Maybe like Bauhaus?

Nomos Tangente might be a bit pricey for you.

Stowas are a more affordable option.

Some pages ago we had a discussion about FP Journe and I didn't get what was beautiful about them. But when this photo came up on tumblr I immediately thought "beautiful":

You're much better off with a pen than wasting your money on a Montblanc watch.

You should really go to a store that carries FP and handle one. icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

You do know that Mont Blanc is owned by Richemont, who also owns A Lange, IWC, Panerai, Roger Dubuis etc. and the movements in the Timewalker series is Valjoux, which also can be found in IWC, Breitling, Fortis, Omega, Oris, Panerai and Frank Mueller.

They also do their own movements, so they can be that bad.
