Probably one of the better looking watches ive seen in a while.

@blacktoothstavros2606 3 месяца назад

I like the Horizon watches. The designs are simple and this lets the dial be the hero. The bracelet integration is neat and the size works. The price is eye watering.

@JustOneMoreWatch 3 месяца назад

I would have used many words to describe the designs, but simple would probably not have been one of them! I think Fred lets loose on his own stuff and really goes wild. Cheers!

@DC-uf6ve 3 месяца назад

Nicest bit of design since that Serica that cost an arm and a leg. After some thought for the number of unique/lovely touches I can almost forgive kickstarter price, but I wouldn't buy at full price on principle.

@russparkin6722 3 месяца назад

@Barbecuejag 3 месяца назад

I agree. I also think some true microbrands - I'm probably talking more about Islander in your list - are suffering from an absolute proliferation of offerings which dilutes their appeal to me. Seems there are something like 35+ different collections Mark now has under his Islander brand name. I'm sure he sells a ton, but he's starting to become too Invicta-like for my tastes. I hope Jody and Erebus keep their offerings a bit more "tidy."

@@shamanprime tbf: there are also things to consider like: it is an unproven brand, uncertainty of what you get (even IF you get it isnt 100%), basically no retailer network etc. to consider. Which is the long way to say: I agree the watch is pretty, but I would feel better (and be more likely to buy it) for a price point around € 500,-, which would be fair. But SURELY not for over 1.200,-, that's halfway to Oris money, or what you pay 2 SEIKO Prospex 😄

@bullnose01 3 месяца назад

I got the Pilgrim last year, which is Fred's compressor style dive watch. It is a beauty and a pleasure to wear. The design details, e.g., hands, indices, case architecture, are superb, and the fit and finish are immaculate. It also has an integrated month display, which is a bit cramped, but usable.

@robbbbery 3 месяца назад

There's some cool ideas packed in there, like the hidden date (which is lumed!) and adjustable butterfly clasp. I hope it's a success and inspires yet more innovative thinking.

@ImDavidJames 3 месяца назад

It’s been made. Tooling must be set. It’s ready to sell so I don’t understand why kickstarter? Just sell it normally

@waffle911 3 месяца назад

Because even _after_ tooling costs, it's still a six figure investment in labor and materials to put it into production. Kickstarter helps gauge interest so they can produce as many as people will actually buy, so they can avoid producing too many or too few to meet demand.

@gz7587 3 месяца назад

Really great watch. Love the huge indices. Great case and crystal. If a watch needs to have a date, I like it best disguised as an indices. I don't like fauxtina, nor boring grey, nor textured dials.. but its out of my price range anyway so I don't have to make any decisions.

@bestboy897 3 месяца назад

Love the art deco font on the numerals looks quite retro. Kickstarter price is pretty good but not the afterwards one.

@theclocker7406 3 месяца назад

Such a cool looking watch with those art deco numbers, wonderfully original! Nicely made, lovely specs, beautiful dials, and attention to design details, but the date is so small that it would be very hard to read on the wrist. The clasp also looks kind of fiddly, and there isn't anything particularly special or original about the bezel design. I also just wish it wasn't so expensive, in my local currency even the Kickstarter price is wopping C$970, sadly. I'm also just not fully convinced it actually looks like a C$1550 watch once it goes to MSRP. Not compared to other offerings in this kind of price bracket.

@fabricea7704 3 месяца назад

Hi Jody. I'm not a fan of Swiss movements, as they are often expensive to maintain. A Miyota 9015 (or 19) would also have made it possible to have a starting price more compatible with the flat purses of many micro-brand enthusiasts. It's not Christopher Ward who wants. Nice divers nonetheless.

@adk7962 3 месяца назад

Terrific watch! Clearly takes inspiration from other watches but definitely its own unique design. Very much like another watch I just purchased. 🤔 The RRP (MSRP) is a bit tough though. Thanks as always!

@Skurtle 3 месяца назад

Head of the piece, pretty great,though I don’t know if the crownguards are really needed. But what is with this bracelet? Sure, microadjustability is a must have, I wouldn’t buy a watch without it. But this clasp seems cumbersome and then it looks weird on wrist, underside, yeah but I’ll know and see it. It looks like a vintage bracelet with way too much stretch. It feels like the solution to a problem that shouldn’t exist to begin with. 6 buttons on a bracelet… 6! (Not counting quick release springbars)

Love the way the date window integrates with the other indices. Although it is a bit small. The 12/3/6/9 numerals in that art-deco design is also very nice. Not keen on the bracelet though. Would look great on a padded leather vintage strap. Its probably worth the kick starter price but no more.

@b.k.4954 3 месяца назад

I like it a lot, and I like both the metallic dial and the grooved dial - a combination of them both would have been quite something. But I fear that a lot of the interesting design elements would be lost when not under the magnifier, which makes the $1k kickstarter price a lot to swallow.

@scottsj4625 3 месяца назад

1st time I've seen a butterfly clasp have on-the-fly micro-adjustments.Nice touch there. I think the price is too expensive for what you get. Just my opinion. I think 500 USD would be a lot more value. I am not in the market for a dive watch, I picked up a couple of titanium case and bracelet divers on the Ali Express sale a few months ago and they are high-beat autos costing under 200 USD each and weigh about 95 grams each. Not sure of the grade of titanium. I think you get so much more for your money as Chinese watches get better and better. Making it hard to justify Swiss watch pricing even though I know Switzerland is a very expensive country to live in.

@Kevinjimtheone 3 месяца назад

It looks lovely. I like pretty much everything about this except three things: price (it should’ve been $600 or $550), it should have an exhibition caseback, and the date window is inexcusably small. What’s the point if having a date window if you can’t see it?

@russparkin6722 3 месяца назад

Not a bad looking vintage diver with some attention to detail. That bracelet may as well be integrated, adds too much length to lug-lug. Looks like that bracelet would show up scratches if you did go diving, but fine for the desk divers. The kick starter price is probably just fair given the SW200 but the full price is very optimistic - no shortage of competition up to that price, including big brands!

Some really cool touches, that dial on the coral in particular is just so engaging. I actually love the date complication and am a bit surprised (looking at his other model variants on the website and how they're done) more brands haven't tried to do this to maintain symmetry in their layouts. I guess it's a tricky balancing act between obnoxiously large indencies and teeny dates. In any event, cool watch but not for me. Especially at that price.

@midnightoracle982 3 месяца назад

Great review as always, Jody! I like the overall look of the watch, and that microadjustment mechanism is clever. It's really the tiny date window and those numerals that don't do it for me. Maybe it's just me, but at a glance, I wasn't sure what I was looking at. I think they would've been better off with indices/batons all around, or to make the numbers less stylized. I think whatever they were going for there takes away from the overall excellent design of the watch. There are other ways to do art deco that I think would've served the watch better.

Not so sure this one offers much more for the higher price, that date is too small to be worthwhile, and micro-adjust simply looks too awkward in its fully open position. Sorry, I will not be a buyer of this one.
