Limited Edition:  THE KÄFER 38/06 WATCH engineered by SCALFARO

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.
