Their new Moonphase, the Twelve and the Bel Canto indicate attempts to move upmarket. The designs can feel derivative (Arnold & Son, Czapek, MB&F respectively) but that also represents a major improvement from the army of Oyster Perpetual and Explorer II clones at the $1-3k price point.
The name evokes Daniel Wellington……. Because it’s similar, not ‘lumping them in’ at all…… so not laughable nor uninformed, you read what you wanted to.
