    @nineteenninetyfive 3 года назад +1

    I appreciate anything different as well but I wonder why they made a chronograph in what seems to be the style of a weekend wear. To me a chronograph is by nature a serious bit of kit which lends itself to a more serious design language. There is also a lot of writing on the dial which is a bit of an annoyance on a dial which already has a couple of complications making it a busy look. Am I nitpicking? Maybe.

  • @Sakomaru707

    I think the main selling point for these lovely pieces are their respective dials. Beautiful and funky color combinations... cool concept and execution.
    I don’t agree with your assessment of value proposition considering the mechanical chrono, however. The Höglund & Sons Mark II uses the same column wheel seagull movement and can be had for under 200... US. That’s a pretty significant markup for a splash of color and a bit nicer finishing on Studio Underdogs’ part. Hell, brands like Tissot sell AUTOMATIC mechanical Chronographs for around the 300 USD mark.

    @harryborsalino1276 3 года назад

    Hey, there, Jody! Ironically, I'm very fond of watermelon, but that color selection just doesn't work for me. I could live with the Desert Sky, or even the B&W Panda colors. Considering that my tastes tend more toward retro/vintage than quirky, the 38.5 mm diameter is appealing, as is the leather strap (nice that the strap is a modern quick-release, though). To be honest, this is probably a watch I'd pass on at the price point mentioned, and if I were to buy one, I'd prefer it with a black or white dial, or maybe a cream/beige/sand color, and with numbers instead of dots or pips, and definitely with more lume. So basically, I'm asking them for a whole other watch! Thanks for another fun, dare I say it, quirky video!

    I know this totally off topic but I was wondering if you (or anyone else for that matter) have suffered the same problem I have always had. I obsess about my watch being out by a few seconds (even with quartz watches) I have had COSC certified quality timepieces - even radio synced and blue tooth synced watches but they are too far removed from the pure essence of what a timepiece should be for me. I have finally found the cure and that is my Steinhart Nav B Uhr with sub dial second hand (non hacking) and a AVI-8 flyboy chrono with a Seiko VK64 that has no running second hand sub dial. You have no idea what a relief it is for me not to obsess how my watch is five or six seconds out. Thanks for taking the time to read this, I'd love to know your thoughts. Cheers.

      Not really much design going on here though is there?
      That case looks straight out of a catalogue to me.
      The big-eye dial design has been around since, well I know Universal Geneve used it in the 50's - I think Longines may've used it before that...and Zodiac used the colours in the 60's.
      Anyway...horses for courses I guess.
      Cheers.

    I had a watch that looked like that.
    Mind I had been sick all over it after to much ale.
