About Otero
Otero was a German watch manufacturer founded by Otto Epple in the Pforzheim area. After World War II, it became one of Germany’s most diligent watchmakers, known for producing reliable and affordable timepieces. The brand gained popularity in the 1950s, particularly among middle-class consumers, for its well-made and cost-efficient movements.
One of Otero’s most notable creations was the Otero 28, a rare 10 ½ ligne pallet lever movement. Praised for its craftsmanship and efficiency, it exemplified the brand’s commitment to quality. Today, Otero’s legacy remains appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century German watchmaking.
About the Digi-Mech
Digi-mechs are far from the sort of watch that you’re used to seeing, this piece comes from the 70’s ‘electronic/digital’ era, when classical mechanical brands were competing with electronic watches and developing these kind of mechanical timepieces with digital display complications.
Fun fact – 99% of those advanced electronic digital watches are now dead and non-repairable, due to the degradation of the integrated electronic components. However, the horological digi-mech creations are still alive and running, and with regular servicing will continue to do so for 100+ years.
