Found this at the Watchaholic site:
Unless you’re a hardcore watch enthusiast you may not have heard of the German watchmaker, Temption. They are a good little company that blends modern design with classic Bauhaus elements. The Temption CGk204 has a 43mm wide case, column engraved siding and onyx cabochons in the crown and chronograph pushers. Inside there is a Valjoux 7751 automatic movement, 12 hour chronograph annual calendar (with day, date, and month) and a synchronized 24-hour hand and a moonphase indicator. Temption does a great job of working with this hard to design around movement layout. You can see the decorated movement through the sapphire caseback window.

The yellow trim on the hands and the strap stitching is a new touch they’ve added to the 2010 version.

But I think I prefer this version:

The Temption CGK204 includes many subtle yet significant stylistic enhancements not found on other watches. Klaus adds a unique touch to each part of this watch including the dial, case, pushers, movement and strap.

Features of this watch include steel covers mounted on either side of an accordion style stainless steel case. The dial, registers, hands and Tachymeter scale use a stylistic color combination of black and white. The screw down crown and pushers have an integrated black onyx.

The movement finish is top notch - decorated rotor, Côtes de Genève, perlage, blued screws and polished surfaces, all visible under a sapphire crystal.

You will not find a watch like this at your local jewelry store.

Chronograph functions are operated through the screw down pushers with a minute counter at the 12, an hour counter at the 6 and a white hand seconds counter around the dial. Quick set of day available through screw down pusher at the 10. In addition to the chronograph functions, this watch includes all the most requested complications including moon phases, month, day, date and 24 hour GMT display.

Black dial with luminous hands and markers. Curved sapphire crystal on front with anti-glare coating on the inside. Water resistant to 10ATM.

Ok, Sean - pics?

They make a really nice watch from what I have read in the past 30 minutes. Love the multi-complication chronos they put together. If the quality is really up to top German standards these are a really amazing set of watches IMHO.

I like those cases alot !!!..From the side view it looks OUTSTANDING
with those vertical lines. Actually, come to think of it, the entire look
on these watches is OUTSTANDING ! Ok, I'm awestruck! Icon_smile The dials look familiar, but
unique details are added to the hands, sub-dials, as well as outer
part of the dial, including the chapter ring. Great bezel, movement,
and straps too !..WHAT A COLLECTION by the way Sean ! Ok, I'm awestruck! Icon_eek Ok, I'm awestruck! Icon_cheers

Thanks !

Very Nice.

Gotta be one of the most readable chronos I've seen. Love the 7751 BTW.
Case sides remind me of the Deep Blue Master Explorer - probably not the original case designer - don't know.

Like Sean's 6 slot watch cases too.
