Ickler have been making cases since 1924, (hence the 1924 logo between the 6o'clock lugs) and in the early 2000s they started to produce watches, using the Archimede name. Their Deck Watch now uses the base 18,000 beat 6498 movement, but the hands are now heat blued rather than painted. The example I have uses the higher grade movement with Geneva stripe decoration and a higher beat rate of 21,6000, the case quality is superb. The one thing the Stowas have that Archimedes don't is a very nice swan neck regulator. If you want to see the best version of this movement without getting into Dornbluth territory then take a look at Eddie's
"Sewill's Ferreira", unbelievable value for a limited edition watch with a three quarter top plate and all the other improvements to the movement. I regularly mull over selling the Archimede and A.N.Other in order to buy one, but can never decide which the A.N.Other should be. Meanwhile (apologies for the poor light) here's the back of mine, through the sapphire caseback . . .
