SCALFARO Watch Co. & the Grundmann Family – collectors and restorers of rare Volkswagen – created a limited edition of mechanical watches using original material from the iconic Käfer VW38 (Chassis # 38/06). The DNA material originates from the original 1938 hand-built “Brezelkäfer” (Pretzel Beetle with rear split windows) -one of only three remaining VW38 prototypes in the world- recently discovered in Lithuania.
Each edition timepiece holds the DNA of Ferdinand Porsche’s early masterpiece “THE URKÄFER”.
The KÄFER 38/06 Edition is limited to 630 timepieces featuring a mechanical Swiss Hunter movement (hand-wound) incl. small second, a high-gloss polished black dial with design elements of the 38/06 speedometer, the 38/06 gearshift pattern and the split window, luminous hands, sapphire crystal, VW38/06 DNA watch case (ø 42mm), engraved caseback with split window and limited edition number, screwed lugs, black cordovan leather strap with folding buckle. Water-resistance 50m/165ft. Available from Euro 1.550,–
Since 2001, SCALFARO Watch Co., headed by brothers Alexander & Dominik Kuhnle, has manufactured fine mechanical watches for enthusiasts. Its distinctive and timeless designs have assisted to establish SCALFARO as one of the rare family-owned high-end watch brands.

We had a real cool 1968 Karmann Ghia coupe in this week, ever fancied a Ghia coupe? This might be your perfect choice, runs, drives, solid, dry, clean in and out and some cool nice features…
Sports a healthy bill of a serious service for 3000 euro from less than a year ago, so this baby is all ready to go and enjoy!
Striking lines, striking color!
Nice, from every angle!
Clean…inside, out…..
Unmolested cool dash, the white steering wheel add to the real vintage look of the car!
Upholstery in better than nice condition

This is what we all looking for in any Ghia, a real straight un-dented, un-repaired nose, only visible from the inside, this baby had nothing!
This baby drives so nice, close to “as new” condition….
