What time is it? Watches and horology

The dial and bezel on that look like plastic. I’m sure they’re not, but they look it.

Fifteen hundred quid.

That really doesn’t look like it should cost £1.5k

Some might say Grand Seiko...

Yeah. Hate to be a debbie downer but this looks like it'll date incredibly quickly. Looks like a £400 micro brand with a Miyota movement.

Isn't that all ceramic bezels though?

I quite like it, the brand seems ok, just another small watch manufacturer.
Personally I like the GMT and would like to know more about the COSC "in-house" calibre. How in house is it really

It’s basically the Tudor GMT movement, made by Kenissi, who were founded by Tudor and who make the GMT calibre for Tudor. It’s not remotely in-house and I don’t think they should be labelling it a “manufacture” calibre, personally.

Wearing this chunky boi today.

Jesus! That's like a WWI tank! That one with all the hard angles and turrets on the side.

Love it!

I'm not a fan of what they make or the approach they are taking to do it so no need to be polite :D

Norqain is heavily linked to Breitling, in that the family who owned Breitling for 30+ years have a controlling stake. I suspect the family name is why they've been able to raise so much money for sponsorships, marketing and PR.

Can also confirm that they are made in a workshop that make watches for at least ten other brands. Probably mostly microbrands.

If anybody is interested, this is the company that makes Norqain.

OUR MISSION
We design, develop and manufacture watches which carry our customers‘brand name, reflecting the image and quality that they desire.

Edit: Something I didn't know is that Roventa-Henex also own Switec in Hong Kong. I think Switec make some of the boutique dive watches like Helson.

That is interesting, thanks. LFGSS branded watch order? List?
