Tonnerre is the French word for Thunder. Interesting name for a German-made watch powered by a Seiko Japanese movement. But that interval between thunder & lightning—that’s a nod to the classic telemeter scale that rings the dial; found in many a mid-century telemeter chronograph. The Tonnerre’s 38mm brushed stainless case and domed crystal sapphire, plus the vintage-inspired dial, brings timeless style to a solid modern design.
