I felt that they were reducing finishing and looking to be RM for people that are smarter (about watches, maybe generally) than RM owners.
However, I spoke with a GF rep at Watchtime and I turned my opinion around.
They are focusing on keeping their finishing and horology chops strong. There will be an ultra-finished model coming out to raise the bar now that the field has caught up a bit.
Further, they are coming out with a Handmade 2 soonish and a Handmade 3 in the works.
I still think a lot of their watches are pinnacle-level watchmaking that look like garbage, but that is subjective.
