Notes
Launched in 2005 by the Musee International de l'horlogerie (MIH) in la Chaux de Fonds in order to finance certain projects, this 42 mm titanium watch was the concept of Dr. Ludwig Oechslin who was the former curator. Developed and designed by Christian Gerber and Paul Gafner it was discontinued in 2020 and a new watch was launched the MIH Gaia. Its 7750 was modified in order to accommodate the annual calendar as well as the AM/PM indication as well as the single button chronograph and counter on the reverse.
