In 2020 VANDAAG started as a young brand with the model Schallmauer. A quartz chronograph in the tradition of pilot watches from the 50s and 60s. The design was a precision landing and the success exceeded all our expectations.

But many watch enthusiasts wanted more: An automatic version of the noble retro timepiece! Now we proudly present: the Schallmauer Automatik - made by Northern German master craftsmen and with Swiss heart.

The Schallmauer is available in four colorways - Old Radium, Blau (blue), Weiss (white), or Schwarz (black)

Bought the quartz version for ~$250. Not sure that movement is worth the $1,000+ premium.

Agree Chris, pushing in a very competitive sector here. Hemel much smarter in IMHO and much cheaper...
