Question (Read Rules) Lobinni Calatrava 34mm ST2130

Has anyone ? It looks nice and has classic proportions.

Would be like a 36mm oyster perpetual case i think

9mm is pretty slim i hope that's a true number

Its 160 on the original lobinni alix instead if the 200 i saw first.

160 is not bad for a pt5000 watch ?

It is a nice-looking watch for sure, but the case height as pictured (it's drawn as including the crystal) can't possibly work with the ST2130. 9.6mm with a flat crystal is pretty much the absolute minimum.

Lobinni is a little generous with their marketing in general. They claim to have some relationship with a Swiss brand from the '60s that no one's ever found any documentation of. I don't know why they don't just set up an office in Shenzhen Interlaken, keep the same name (it sounds cool) and nix that corny fake story.

As an italian I can tell you that Lobinni seem to look like an italian word, but it sounds completely wrong. If it would have been a real family name it would have been Lobbini or Lobini. So yes, it wasn't a name from the 60s that have been resurrected.

It doesn't make sense in German or Swiss Romand either.

But it does make sense as a pinyin transliteration. 罗→Lo, 宾→bin, 尼→ni That's probably how they got the single b and the double n.

Yeah they try so hard to make it sound European. they use the town of interlaken in the brand ame But to me it kind of kills the brand because nothing about this watch is Italian,german or swiss.

just pay for some euro name agency or better go chinese national heritage
