Jacob & Co Astronomia, thoughts?

what do you guys think? I know alot will say they have no heritage and all that, but in terms of horology, surely they must be given alot of credit.

I prefer a decent chronograph watch over such trivia glut things but that's one of the coolest designed watches in its price category

Something I have never seen before or could even imagine. I would not be interested as it is difficult to tell the time and I am not into fashion so in this case, two strikes and your out.

Whatever merits the watch has are overshadowed by fugly aesthetics.

That’s pretty cool but just not wearable as a watch. It would be better as some kind of office desk piece instead of a wrist watch.

I think if you look and talk like the guy in the video, it's perfect.
