Newer Hermle movement letter/year codes

I have seen several newer Hermle movements that are marked with a letter instead of the year of manufacture. Does anyone know how to decipher these letter codes?

Don't know when it started but could work it out from my newly found knowledge.

Currently i think the letter is T which indicates 2007 to 2008.
If you work backwards from here you can work out roughly the date of each movement.

That's about right then. The movements in question with the letter H where purchased in 95 or 96.

Hermle switched to a letter code for dating their movements beginning in 1988 with the letter 'A'. The letter 'H' should be for movements produced in 1995. Prior to 1988 they used the last two digits of the year as a date code.
