Under the lead of Jupp Philipp, the man who acquired the company about three years ago, most collections have been revamped or revived, and new models launched. Following an entirely refreshed Flieger collection, the return of the Marinemaster, and the introduction of the Stratoliner with a space-tested movement, […]
