    The date window matching the 12, 6, 9 is so cool. It may be the best date window I’ve ever seen.

      I agree wholeheartedly. I think it would be better if it was the same shade as the others markers though. Even better if it was at the 6 o'clock position.

    This truly is the first dual crown watch I’m tempted to own.. the depth of the dial and the shapely yet very wearable case make it stand out!

  • @thetruebatman4632
    @thetruebatman4632 2 года назад +10

    It’s the most symmetrical dial I’ve seen in a long time. It’s been mentioned in several other comments, but that date window is breaking the mold right now, he designed a solution that none of the thousands of combined years of watchmaking between the big companies could come up with and it’s so simple.

  • @HaonProductions
    @HaonProductions 2 года назад +4

    This is nice. Compressor style watches are becoming more common but this really stands out with that brushed bezel, chamfered case and the date wheel built into an index. Very tempting at that price, I'd probably prefer to see the bracelet too.

  • @christopherhoglund4962
    @christopherhoglund4962 2 года назад +22

    I love how the date is integrated to be the same shape of the other 6, 9, and 12 markers. I’ve been wondering for years why no one is doing that.
    Unique aesthetics to the piece, which is somewhat rare these days.

    • @whiteglovewatches9908

    I am just mesmerized by this fantastic dial and that date window. I get such a retro sci-fi vibe from this watch, like something a Heinlein character would be wearing heading out to adventure among the stars in a different kind of ship than the Pilgrim. 😉 I will be looking forward to the final product, great review, as always!

  • @IRguyIR
    @IRguyIR 2 года назад +3

    Nice watch. To integrate so many authentic details is fantastic. The date window is a clear winner here. For negatives: The rubber strap is an insult to this watch in my opinion. It is a potential diver, but if I bought it i would swap it for leather or nato. Let's be real, we divers have other watches for the sport. Beads of rice bracelet would bring the watch to the next level. If it's out of reach, just replace it with some great nato.

  • @whiteglovewatches9908
    @whiteglovewatches9908 2 года назад +4

    Love the dial, especially the 12, 3, 6, 9 and integrated date (I’m a no date guy).
    Those lugs are very interesting too, I kept thinking of different ways they could present a bracelet so I’m very glad it’s in the works. I think it’ll need to be as interesting as the lugs but if they do it right I think it could really step up the look of an already handsome watch.
    Well done Horizon.

  • @williamsmith9561
    @williamsmith9561 2 года назад +1

    The date window disguise is great. So many recognized brands ruin the symmetry of a dial by putting a date in stupid places. I agree with all you said, Pete. Lovely watch.

    There is a lot to like about this watch, it's a nice design. I appreciate the effort to integrate the date window but to my eye it looks so small. So it could be questioned whether its necessary at all. But all in all it's another interesting microbrand offering.

    @JoseSierradeLeste 2 года назад +3

    Very, very nice looking proportions... I've been leaning heavily into smaller watches recently but the proportions of this 41 look really good. The date window integration is neat, agreed, but I wish/hope there's an option for no-date. That would push this one squarely into my purchase radar, rather than skirting the outside. The price profile is perfect though - spot on. Thanks for spotlighting this piece, Peter!

  • @nikc1313
    @nikc1313 2 года назад +1

    Handsome watch with some lovely details. Really like the cardinal indices. Reminds me of the oris 65 model with similar ones. A bit out of my price range for a KS but thanks for featuring it.

  • @dazzlerjohnwatchman8215
    @dazzlerjohnwatchman8215 2 года назад +1

    Bravo Peter. I love to see another innovative time keeper. I enjoyed your review of this kick starter proposal and cannot wait to see further developments such as the bracelet. The buckles angular design is very tool watch and compliments that silicon rubber tapered strap. I do enjoy internal bezels when screwed-down as this one is. That date window incorporated into the time marker was a real stand out moment in this design. The hands are so nicely crafted and shaped. You truly find some unique watches my friend. ⌚

  • @nowthatsfunky7676
    @nowthatsfunky7676 2 года назад +2

  • @spicydragon3881
    @spicydragon3881 2 года назад +2

    Bravo, beautiful piece. Case details and design are different enough to stand out but in a beautiful, classy way. It looks great and has a fantastic movement that is many times found in much more expensive watches. Its rare that a watch maker actually listens to constructive criticism, that advice was taken and for the better. Nice Job and as always, fantastic review. Wishing you and your family only the best for 2023. Keep up the great work.

    Tell you what, they have done a great job with that! Loving the balance between the face and the internal bezel and the date window is fantastic, I can’t recall seeing that anywhere else?? But if the whole watch world doesn’t copy that they are mugs. I HATE the seiko 4 o’clock window.

  • @benjaminvis
    @benjaminvis 2 года назад +1

    I didn't know its predecessor and the improvements are very apparent. Yet, even this I find comes across as too chunky. Sometimes it doesn't matter much what the specks say, still the impression a watch leaves can be too thick, and for me that regrettably still applies here. Not by much, mind. While I quite like many of the details pointed out, it actually brought me to your video for the predecessor. Now, altogether I see potential for a gorgeously distinct watch that is unlikely to ever see the light of day. I'd take that Nautilus, mix in the refinement achieved with this Pilgrim, put it on a slimming course, and produce an art deco inspired gentleman's watch (I avoided using the word dress to eschew strict categories). The hour markers on the Nautilus and even the hands (although they lack contrast against the dark green dial) I find far preferable to what I see here, but I like the elements of this case more. Getting rid of the rotating bezels would enable them to enlarge the dials, so the hands of the Nautilus would no longer clumsily clash with the nicely applied graphic markers. They might even be able to build a full numbers set in that fun font adaptation shown at 6, 9, and 3. As said, very unlikely to happen. I'm surprised that they are producing a second model after pouring some great ideas into what seems like a subpar package the first time around. I wish them well, but hope to see their creative flair making it across to dressier (and more svelte) pieces in the future.

  • @timetowatch_francois
    @timetowatch_francois 2 года назад +2

    Thanks for sharing this great discovery (for me anyways).
    I love the fact that they value constructive input. It must be gratifying that they reached out to you and valued YOUR input! Small details make the difference. That integrated date is fantastic and I agree with you about the minute markers; they add texture to the dial but also, as a precision "nut", I like that we can set the watch at the precise time 🤷🏼‍♂
    Happy New Year and I hope 2023 brings you continued success. Well wishes to you and your family 😊

  • @cinemenico
    @cinemenico 2 года назад +1

    Would normally not be my cup of tea... but somehow I really like it.
    It has some interesting design elements, like the brushed bezel reminding me somehow of a Patek Philippe Nautilus. The inner rehaut/bezel reminding me a bit of a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Pretty sure I have seen the styling of the 6, 9 & 12 somewhere before as well. The texture of the dial works really well, so does the patina lume (maybe it's a little on the too strong side). Bringing it all together so well isn't an easy feat, so: well done indeed! And it says a lot taking good critizicm onboard, listening and improving on the product! Terrific value.

    One of a great watch design that is outstanding one in the watch market. Anyway I love to see them use STP1-11 or LJP G100 instead of SW200-1. Maybe STP1-11 is the most suitable that is cheaper and has more power reserve than SW200-1.

    So many microbrands going with the supercompressor style - and I love it. I was at a store yesterday to purchase the one by Spinnaker but they sold out and now that I've seen this one… I think I might wait for the Horizon to be available. Beautiful execution.

    HNY Peter! It is a nice watch, I kinda feel like the integrated bracelet sports watch with an edgy case and the super compressor style diver are both overdone designs that I just don't really gravitate towards. But this one actually looks interesting. Would prefer a 20mm lugwidth, or a bracelet option(that you said is coming), and I'm not a huge fan of the Sellitas, I would rather like to see microbrands using LJP movements in 2023 at like 700usd (like Zelos) than 500 and a Sellita. They should have more options in my opinion, but that said, a Sellita is really good and everything we really need.

      In hindsight, I think you're right a 20mm lug width would have been nice here. As for the bracelet, looking forward to see what they come up with
      HNY and stay well 🙏

    Hi, thanks for the video. I'd love a GMT on the bezel, but that's me... I do not like that lume. The date frame is genius!
