What time is it? Watches and horology

Would be better with a more neutral strap, the stitching is too much. I could see why somebody would love this but wouldn't wear it myself, I think.

I really like these but I couldn't get on with it when I tried it on.

(I will pm you this eve, I'm off on holiday and having a mare trying to get stuff sorted in time)

Looks like a Swatch.

I didn't like it until I saw one in the flesh and then thought it was surprisingly nice. Looks a bit different to a lot that's out there.

The yellow accent is fun, it's a weekend wearer for sure. Three issues from a design perspective: The unbevelled, (almost) unbrushed case is just a bit too plain. There's just not enough depth to the design, you can see all the details in one glance and there doesn't seem to be anything in the design that warrants a longer gaze. Also the integrated end-links mean you're stuck with a Tudor strap and a small range of options if you get bored and want to switch things up a bit.

Basically it's an upmarket Braun watch. Everything works with that clean design but there's nothing to really fall in love with.

I really like the North Flag (on a bracelet), it’s on my hit list but the blue Pelagos is contending. Can’t argue with the point about the lack of dynamic in the case but I also feel that’s what makes it unique. I love the dial, clarity is my number one criteria, I’ll own one at some point but whether it’s a keeper I don’t know.
