    It's Latin. Obviously. The company is wayyy more cultured than you imagine.
    Pronounced: AG - EEEE - LOH - SIR

    This is a Latin word. It means “faster” and it’s pronounced “aguelocer”. My total respect for this brand. Not everything has to be based on English.

    It doesn't make sense at all, especially in this case the brand name will stop many from buying it....however if your a tinkerer then perhaps replacing the chapter ring is an option....as far as the price is concerned I must agree it's a touch on the optimistic side....at $500 with better or no branding then this could be a winner....they have to rethink that clasp, it's far too muckle to be of use....as far as the design goes it looks great....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

    A lot of skeleton watches are messy, this one works resonably well. Wouldn't be so bad if you could get a sterile version. The price though, up against the Swiss competition with well known names and probably on bracelets too.

    • @nathanaelsmith3553
      @nathanaelsmith3553 Год назад +1

      I think it is visually confusing and therefore hard to read and dysfunctional. That could probably be fixed with a different colour way. The hands and indices need to strongly contrast with all other elements. I think the bridges / frame / skeleton dial should be similar in colour to the movement components and that the hands and indices need to contrast with that.

    • @PerthWAtch
      @PerthWAtch  Год назад

      Yeah good point about the hands and dial bridges needing to be different and contrasting - I feel they’ve done the skeleton mod pretty well but with these hands and colours it doesn’t really work.
      As for the “Swiss competition”… well AFAIK the cheapest Swiss tourbillon is over $20k! Do you know any cheaper?
