Not at all! Do like microbrand products just don’t like the look of it, is that simple.

I haven’t heard of this brand before, but I dig the look. I can’t decide how I feel about the lugs but I like that they are unique. Congrats on the purchase!

It was made for the MIH museum as their 2nd watch.

The original is called a classic amongst watch makers and is in Maximillian Bussers collection..,

Looks interesting, good base movement. Seems micro brands are now playing in the $3000 range a lot.

I thinks it is good for mechanical horology on the whole.
