Stowa Antea Back to Bauhaus Review
Around this time last year, Stowa released the Antea "back to bauhaus" series. The "b2b" was an offshoot of the classic Antea line, which itself pulls inspiration from a watch Stowa first produced in the 1920s.

Now, I'm not complaining, but is this normal, or is it a crap shoot, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't?
