Aeromatic 1912 (a-1236) - The Trench Watch

By Diogo Neto on May 11, 2010

This watch really surprised me when I was looking for a dual time watch on the internet.
Somehow I ended up crossing this wach on the net and immediatelly got hypnotised.I'm not a watch lover, collector or make a hobby out of watches. Still,Cartier Leve Stainless Steel Ring in White Gold Plated, I must admit that a dual time watch is an advantage in my line of work.

This is not a dual time watch though. This is a retro watch, so to speak.

These days you have a huge offer on watches. Watches for this and for that, tech looks, old school looks, plactic looks, cheap and expensive looks (and price tags).

My taste over watches may be considered a bit conservative. I do like a watch with a simple look. White display with black dials and numbers. How conservative is that?

Well, I may like some other colour configurations, but it has to be a simple and elegant watch.
Nowadays there are some new and recurrent trends that are fueled by the industry itself so to increase sales numbers. That sometimes bring the good design and ideas but most often brings the stupidest and horrible crations to the daylight.

Rainbow coloured watches, big sized watches (some do look like clown watches), jewellery incrusted watches, you name it.

Well, this Aeromatic 1912 (german watch maker) is a bit out of the ordinary to say the least. And also a bit far from the typical design that I fancy. Nonetheless, I find it brilliant.
OK. There is a conservative thing to it. There's the retro look that drives us back to the days when the wrist watch was invented.

Here's a brief story about the wristwatch that helps to define the Aeromatic A-1236:

"In 1904, Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont asked his friend Louis Cartier to come up with an alternative that would allow him to keep both hands on the controls while timing his performances during flight. Cartier and his master watchmaker, Edmond Jaeger soon came up with the first prototype for a man's wristwatch called the Santos wristwatch. The Santos first went on sale in 1911, the date of Cartier's first production of wristwatches. During the First World War soldiers needed access to their watches while their hands were full. They were given wristwatches,Cartier Love Charm Necklace, called 'trench watches', which were made with pocketwatch movements, so they were large and bulky and had the crown at the 12 o'clock position like pocketwatches. After the war pocketwatches went out of fashion and by 1930 the ratio of wrist- to pocketwatches was 50 to 1." in Wikipedia.

That's what the Aeromatic 1912 A-1236 is. A trench watch.
And to be frank, the design may be old and funky, but I do find it amazing.
