Random watch thread 2

That’s really cool. No word on price, it seems, but I imagine at 188 pieces, it’s sold out already.

I’m guessing that they’ve engineered it very well, but it would be interesting to know what the winding efficiency is like. It wasn’t great in the old bumper movements.

The article said the older bumpers were around 120 deg of rotation vs 330 deg on this new one.

The De Bethune annual calendar is my I'm-buying-this-if-I-win-the-lottery watch. That grey dial is stunningly gorgeous. There are no adequate superlatives.

I love the Starry Varius.

Fun fact--I tried a deBethune on once, and at least on the one I tried, the lugs are spring loaded and nestle down onto your wrist. Very cool.

Max Bill was an interesting-looking character.

Yes, I think this is quite nice.

Now this is more reminiscent of the Ball watches of old. Thin bezel, will wear larger but it’s only 40mm. ....but nicely done.

Does anybody else think that the dial says "s WIS s made"?

Yes, that or 5 WI5 5, either way the kerning is terrible or, maybe it's a code. And...if they were taking a publicity photo of what is essentially meant to be an accurate timing instrument, the least they could do is properly align the hands, I mean really...
