This case Kobold is using was made popular by the late Icko Wakmann founder of Wakmann Germany Watches and former Pres. of Relide Clock Company who used it in the 60'-70's with the same movement available in a 2 or3 register configuration...the case has since been used by many watch manufactuers....he was a true innovator and master watchmaker from Russia who made his home in Manhatton .....there is plenty online about him and Wakmann Watch if anyone is interested....see link belowhand6.gif
