What time is it? Watches and horology

i don’t care how innovative those Horage watches are because they look like they are £300 at Argos.
for that money and something non mainstream that actually looks like a decent watch then Habring would get my money.

What was the Apple iWatch homage with a high end Swiss movement?

(I know I could just Gurgle it, but rather stoke discussion)

Moser.

What you really want is an Apple Watch inside a high end Swiss case

That’s the one!

That can sod right off! So many people buy and even collect Invicta thinking they are getting quality timepieces- a marketing miracle!

Have to admire the chutzpah though..

fucking lol

look like they are having way more fun than buttering up ADs and joining waiting lists tbf

Yeah, I think using some IRL photos rather than the over-shiny renders on their website would probably do them some favours.

German language but video footage also gives a better impression:

Man I hate that ultra shiney bezel. The indices and hands remind me of Royal Oak, similar thick borders.

Hmm, dunno if I agree. Habring stuff has a deliberate lack of finishing that I'm not sure I'm into, plus their GMT design is a little weird - no date for a start. Respect the guy as a movement designer though, for sure.

Apart from the date wheel font I don't mind the design of the Horage. It has some quirks but that's fine, I think it's obviously intended to appeal to people who don't want to buy one of the usual suspects, and it's not a straight RO / Nautilus / Sub / GMT-Master imitation.

Don't think the indices and hands look much like a RO at all… Looks more like a Vacheron Overseas if anything.

Vacheron Overseas

Yeah I can see that. I think it's the white fill with fat silver borders. Not saying they're a copy just what came to mind when I first saw it.

Speaking of GMTs, I'm still slightly obsessed with this. It's nearly 14mm thick, it must be too big for my dinky wrist, right? Why did I like it so much when I tried it on?

This is starting to look like some of the deVille chronos (which I prefer)

New stock opening order is arriving .

Clifton Baumatic is a nice watch, good luck with the opening!

Cheers matey .

Good luck with the launch!

Is the lug to lug short enough to compensate for the thickness?

Damn those Horage's do be ugly IRL. Awful brand name and awful logo too IMO.

Maybe. Lug to lug is 48mm I think. Not that small. Seemed to sit well overall. I suppose in terms of diameter and thickness, it's not that different to either a Speedmaster or my SLA017. Seen as a tool-ish kind of watch I guess it's fine. Or maybe it's that the overall shape just sits well.

Dunno. Only got a look at it for a minute or two. Will be straight back to check it out when they start arriving in the boutiques. Although the price means I'd have to sell a bunch of stuff to afford it, so I'd need to REALLY like it.

Saw this and quite enjoy it, bit big at 40mm.

Weird. You least blurry, best lit photo is of a watch covered in plastic that makes it look blurry and badly lit.

Very you.

Good luck with the opening! I love my B&M GMT. I should wear that tomorrow.
