Random watch thread 2

Now this is more reminiscent of the Ball watches of old. Thin bezel, will wear larger but it’s only 40mm. Not for me, the day and month windows are too small for my old eyes, and I don’t care for pointer dates, but nicely done.

That's pretty.

Often on the more elegant Ball watches, the hands look like a mixture of tool and dressy (like on my 21st Century model). You end up with a nicely made hand with a huge scar of a Tritium tube superglued to the top. These tubes are better integrated into the hands. The end result looks more well thought out and finished.

I'd wear it (even if I couldn't read the month/day @mlcor ).

That’s not going to look right with my Marks & Spencer cardigan.

They’ve put a (new) bumper movement in it.

At first glance, I thought it was a Tutima.

I do like Tutimas, though.

(1) That looks very nice.
(2) What’s a bumper movement? Is it like bumper pool?

On a bumper automatic movement the rotor does not spin 360 degrees.

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