As a native of Wisconsin and resident of NYC, thank you for your honest description of what has become Wisconsin’s unofficial state beer. Spotted Cow is indeed “pretty good”. 🐄 😊
Guys- thank you so much for the content you produce, all that you add to the hobby, for staying impartial, for not trying to be a fashion blog, and for all of the work you do.
Accuracy used to be the legacy of watchmaking. Now it doesn't matter? What does that say about the complacency and hypocrisy of watchmaking? Accuracy represents excellence, and excellence is a luxury.
If accuracy really mattered as much as you say then no-one would make mechanical watches anymore, they'd all be quartz, as they're infinitely more accurate than mechanical
@@dukes70 that is the most appalling of all. The brand that beat Swiss at their own game seems to only gaf when their watches are regulated through piezoelectric or have the name Grand Seiko on it. I should have known that King Seiko, being the losers of the shop, couldn’t do better.
I think it can be both. I own very accurate, high end (GS, Rolex) watches and I expect them to be accurate. I also own some budget watches (Timex, Bulova, Boldr) and am very pleased when they turn out to be very good time keepers. Next are the older watches (Timex, Gruen, Omega, Caravelle) that if they keep time for the day, I’m happy. But I must admit, an accurate watch no matter the maker, style or vintage is more my vibe.
Christopher Ward aren't the only ones of course. Consider Reservoir, producing a watch ~$4000 with retrograde minutes, jumping hour, and power reserve, making them look like vehicle instruments. To get that kind of stuff, you have to go super luxury.
If a 800 euro watch can be COSC and much better, then what's the excuse of a 3-4k one? Not to mention 100k watches featuring old school chronometry-meant complications?
Sorry but this Boldr is way too thick and the busy dial color mismatch feels like it was done a toddler! My vote for worst release and ugliest watch of the year.
He’s a watch guy and doesn’t care about accuracy? Lol 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣🤣I’m not concerned so much with high finishing of watch movements as I am accuracy of the movement. I don’t need +1 sec/yr but +20 sec/day cmon now! With innovations today there shouldn’t be any excuse for close to chronometer accuracy (doesn’t have to be COSC cert) without having to charge $5K IMO

I use my phone for accuracy. But I also wipe my butt with my hand.

Totally this! There are a ton of smaller brands the watch retailer sites like W&W don’t pay attention to - another is Azimuth.
Love that Sinn EZM 2 3H dial. I wish Sinn would make this size again in the EZM 2B.
I’d love to see Rado reissue some of their old models like the Starliner day/night dial.
Accuracy is a sign of a well made movement. To have expensive (multiple k watch) that are worse than COSC is not on imo. COSC is a minimum.
Left early after the heavy shill on the Boldr before any questions were answered.
