Michael Kobold is a young visionary. Watches and cars are his driving obsessions. He hasn't designed a car yet, but he has designed and sells some great watches. His watches are mostly highly-functioning chronographs and their common characteristics are extraordinary value and quality. If you need a chronograph that can handle anything that your body can, look at Kobold watches. The Kobold Polar Surveyor chronograph, Kobold Soarway Diver and the Kobold Ernest Shackelton are the collection's highlights, in my opinion.
