It’s quite nice. It’s a bit too big for my liking, but there we are.
To me this is one of those wear once in a while type of watches. I don’t mean as in a nice watch to wear for a nice occasion. It’s a bit too much for that, as in “I’m not a watch person but look at me with my sparkly watch”.
There’s nothing wrong with that of course, but personally I wouldn’t consider this subtle enough to wear to an event or occasion, although that’s obviously just my preference.
To me this is more of a ‘sitting outside with your buddies on the first nice evening of the year’ kind of watch. It’s warm, the light is lasting longer. One of your mates is talking some kind of shit, another is away with his thoughts. You’re enjoying a few beers or whiskeys. There’s a fire on.
You look at your wrist. The watch tells you vaguely it’s something past twelve, but not yet something past three. So you’ll feel like crap in the morning but still be able to semi-function.
However, looking at the dial reminds you of the grand vastness of the universe. Of everything that ever was, and everything that ever will be. Your life is inconsequential and ultimately meaningless.
So whatever worries you have don’t actually matter. There’s no real reason to be stressed, ever. This moment will never happen again. You’re the only person who’ll ever experience it. Enjoy it for what it is.
I mean to me, that’s better than the breathe app on an Apple Watch at least. And that’s probably what I’d get from this watch.
Sure, it’s a bit of a Moser rip off. And it’s slightly too big. I can forgive the depth because it adds to the ‘vastness of the night sky’ kind of vibe.
But it’s not like you’ll be wearing it out anywhere much anyway; this is a watch for those more introspective, meditative, marvel at the beauty of life, contemplative times.
It’s a watch to be enjoyed solely by the wearer. You’re probably wearing it with some bullshit outfit that sits somewhere between comfort and fun anyway, so who cares about your watch other than you, and how it makes you feel.
And obviously it’s quite hard to tell the actual time on it. But as long as you know if it’s something between 12 and 3, or 3 and 6, or so on, then you can kind of figure out if you’re on the right track. This is not a watch for when you need to be accurate with the time.
As it’s a mechanical watch, with its whatever in-house movement, you know that ultimately it’s flawed anyway. As are we all. There’s some comfort in that.
But as watches go, I’m happy this one exists and overall think it is a positive design. Maybe I’ll pick one up eventually. Something a bit different and interesting for the collection at least.
Although ultimately I’m not entirely sure it’s very good value. It’s more of a ‘on a whim, seemed like a good idea at the time, but I do enjoy it every now and then’ type of watch. Having said that, the interest of the dial and movement would probably let it run with higher tier brands fairly comfortably, for anyone who really cares at least. So who knows.
But it’s cool that you can look down and see what’s up. And I think that’s what this watch is really all about.
