Case in point: link I don't have a lot of experience with Tutima. In fact, until the M2 Coastline arrived in my link hands, I don't think I had held a single piece by the manufacturer, despite seeing dozens of examples from other companies in their hometown of link Glashütte. The company makes everything from the entry-level M2 Coastline to a €168,000 Hommage Minute Repeater.

He sometimes looks down at his wrist hoping it times out perfectly for the time to change. Add to that the 45mm sizing, and you have what Schwartz calls his "favorite watch at the moment."
