What time is it? Watches and horology

yes, so good

If it came in adult sizes* I would be wanting one.

*41mm+

And there's this hottie 🔥

Yeah I love the green birch dial and the new hibeat movement but the series 9 watches are bigger than I like for a watch without a dive or GMT bezel. Also the 22mm lug width again.

Plenty of 44GS models in 40mm+! The midnight blue one is particularly attractive IRL. Darker than it looks in their product renders.

why the power reserve triggers people so hard

Personally, I really like the addition of a power reserve but 9/10 I'm not a fan of how they're implemented. A bit like some date windows.

I'm sure it's down to the mechanisms but they've usually got a windscreen wiper vibe opposing the other hands. My preference is when they're like these:

Also I've got to say I really don't get the appeal of these funny patterned dials. Maybe it's a generational thing. It just makes be think of all the uncool watches from the 70s.

Why does that "10 days" Patek power reserve have 11 sectors…? 🧐

Never understood why the power reserve triggers people so hard.

Useless complication (yes yes, most are including tourbillons) that takes up space on the dial and makes it unbalanced

it has become a signature of the spring drive watches.

Yes, I believe this too

0 days, duh.

uncool watches from the 70

Does not compute, 70s watches are the coolest.

A GS I would buy

Cripes and another!

And this big boi. If i had slightly bigger wrists and a much bigger wallet i really love this

This page has provided some GS balance ;P

0-10

If it was 1-10 then it would be days.

I'm struggling to back this up as my Google search engine is broken, but I know what I mean in my head.

On a side note, does anyone work in marketing or consumer trends?

Is there a reason green has become such an in colour?

It's because all our minds are being secretly controlled by the Lizards 🤫

or Salmon before it

Useless complication (yes yes, most are including tourbillons) that takes up space on the dial and makes it unbalanced

Much like a rotor and balance wheel and balance spring.

People got bored of blue

The kerning on 'SPRING DRIVE' doesn't bother you?

No, should it?
