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.

Strays away by not being a minute repeater.

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..........!

enjoythemusic · 25 January 2023, 10:56 AM

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.

HogwldFLTR · 26 January 2023, 09:46 AM

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.

22mm is correct for the lug width.

I think the prices will come down now the "second wave" has been released but IMHO there will always be a premium for the first 300 LE series.

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

Apparently the green dials aren't being produced until the first 300 blue are finished and I heard somewhere that was going to be approx march 2023.

You guys made me do it , purps

That’s the way to go on this piece! Totally bonkers in design specs so may as well go big on colour to compliment

Congrats and looking forward to mine too.

carnage9191 · 29 January 2023, 10:57 AM

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

helloworldies · 31 January 2023, 12:44 AM

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.

john333 · 31 January 2023, 10:51 PM

Just received an email this morning confirming mine will be delivered in October…exciting!

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.

enjoythemusic · 2 February 2023, 11:56 PM

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

ansharma · 7 February 2023, 09:42 PM

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

Lukla · 11 February 2023, 05:59 PM

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.

Stunner @Watches club edition? Can someone explain the club and how this project started with CW? So well designed and at only 200 pieces to be made, wicked!

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?
