What time is it? Watches and horology

https://www.christopherward.eu/events/clearance2/half-price/c65-trident-vintage-diver-bb0575

On clearance on CW. I think this is really cool in this colour. The logo typeface and positioning really don't bother me any more. The trident on the second hand is now the element that bothers me most. If it suited me better I would buy it.

Edit: gone it would seem.

Has anyone ever read the Daniel Wellington brand story? It's ridiculous.

I have and i agree... ridiculous but also so unscrupulous.

Amazing case of branding shit

Squale is 40mm IIRC, a tad smaller

Lovely .. size ?

43mm. I'm in two minds to be honest.
It doesn't quite fit on my wrist (as you can see clearly! above) but I love it.
Anyways, serious offers to PM.

I love these. Not sure how it would wear on my wrist but love the look of them in pictures.

@regal have no idea how one would get a discount at gnomon so I was as brazen as to send them a DM. Will report back!

That link doesn't work but I'd be interested to read the article if you have another link?

Yeah, you can just email them. Worst that can happen is they say no.

No idea why it irks me so much, but I absolutely can't stand the American English habit of describing yourself as a "[noun] guy".

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the way that article’s written at all, was just posting a fixed link. :)

You prefer wis right?

Thanks Regal.

Some of that I'd read before in other articles. Aside from the laziness of the design and the use of influencers to sell tat, I'm not sure on how they used unscrupulous business ethics?

Dunno, other than the hefty profit margins on said tat.

50% off all junghans at Liberty

No Max Bill hand-wound, sad face.

They're bargains for that price.

Disappointed there was no black face Mega, I'd have definitely been in for that.

Also a variety of Braun ones at half price (and random other stuff) https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/department/men/accessories/watches/?srule=price-low-to-high&start=0&sz=60

Max Bill Chrono is so nice

They look nice but I think they're a bit too thick in real life.

I might be wrong but I recall someone saying this was one of their favourite watches?? Thought the price seemed pretty decent. Listed as preowned but the description states it's ex-display.

That would be me. Well me included if someone else says.

Liek suming out of Alice in Wonderland. 😎
