Pretty interesting watch for $600 bucks

I am not a fan of the word “phantasos” on the bezel at 6 o’clock, but I do feel this is a cool piece, especially at the price point.

What do you all think?

I prefer a watch where I can tell what time it is at a glance.

Not my cup of tea, but interesting nonetheless.

I like it. Wandering hours is always a cool complication.

LOL! Not by a longshot. Have passed on various pieces over the decades. Yet these fun under $1k pieces sure do bring a smile to my face.

But then again so do... ummmm... well, you see it's... you know.

It's like a Urwerk.
I like it. I also have a soft spot for the wandering hour complication.

My son liked it, so I ordered one before they closed the fund last night. Ordered an extra strap & bracelet, it'll make for a nice birthday gift from the parents and extended fam. Hopefully they'll fulfill all the orders (ok technically gifts or whatever they call them to hedge risk they take off with our donations) on a timely basis by June.

I like it but, then again, I own an Urwerk.

Not sure about the name, though. Kinda sounds like an STD medication to me.

There will be less threads from owners complaining about running -2 s/d?

But a lot more from the rocket scientists who can’t read the time.

Final closed-case double-check after regulating a Timex. It was off beat by 0.2ms and fast by 40 sec/day. Fixed that, now +4 a day on-wrist as a daily beater.

Good to know everyone has a Timey thingy. The watch was a Ho' Timex. Best thing about it, a GREAT strap, a seriously comfy nice strap IMHO. Got a couple of them, will regulate and gift the other at some point.
