Does anyone have a problem with the lack of a second hand on this? It strays away from the traditional minute repeater formula by a ways.

Many watches with no second hand these days. Parmigiani micro-rotor, MAD1, Moser flying hours. It's a fun watch and if you want a second hand - you have lots of options to buy something more traditional. My life can cope being 60 seconds either way..........!

Oh my, no seconds hand needed on this release. I could see the complaints now, how their's chimes two seconds too late, or early. Best stay away from a seconds hand imho.

By the way, does anyone know what size the strap is? I can't find it on their site. Regarding the second hand, their +/- 20 seconds per day is kind of moot.

The reviews I’ve seen state a 22mm width.

I am waiting for someone to review the green. In pictures that's probably the best color they have made so far.

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one who pulled the trigger on the second wave. Just place a deposit for the black dial. It’s a great affordable alternative to an MB&F or breguet

I've ordered one too.
It's so rare to see anything truly original at a price point that means many people will get to enjoy. |

Thanks to this forum, I ordered one today.
Unbelievable price point and a good looking watch. Looks at least from pictures and videos a much more expensive watch then it is. January 2024, the long wait. |

Proof it's too important a timepiece to ignore when even HoDink reports on it.

For those that are yet to order, the delivery date is creeping out and currently stands at end of February 2024.

From pictures and video, I am not convinced of the level of finishing but ordered mine. At this price point it offers uniqueness and complication that no other brand offered. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

I can confirm that it is not a Rolex or Patek in terms of quality or finishing. Even winding it up is an unsatisfying experience. The "chime" every hour is just amazing and the watch gets a lot of comments. At the price point however - it is just a bargain and I feel it will be a watch that has established itself in history. It has certainly created waves in the industry.

There is now a “secret” version for my watch club with a frosted dial. |

Ther blue hands will make it much easier to tell the time. That's the only problem with mine - love it :-)

Was it confirmed there are going to be 200 of these? I thought it was only those who ordered within a certain time window would be accepted?
