Patrickh shares his profound affection for his NHC KRONOS watch after a week of wear, highlighting its unique artistic dial and comfortable fit. He meticulously details his strap choice and the watch's innovative time-telling mechanism, inviting community feedback on his aesthetic decisions and the watch's overall appeal.

After 1 week on my wrist, I confirm my LOVE for this Beauty.

Photo tentative « à la Mark in Paris »






Is it a painting on watch case?

No hands at all ;-))

 

I have chosen a darker brown brilliant alligator strap in order to represent a classical frame for this painting. What do you think about my choice?






To see the color chosen better on the deployant buckle side






Ouf, there are indications to know the hour=1h50. It is also a watch.






Few seconds before 2 PM. Do you note the so nice second hand indicator (with stop second)?






A micro-second prior 2 PM






2 PM






I LOVE each 10 minutes photo. Here at 2h10min.






I never had such a wonderful reading to the time.

In less than a second you could know the time as the Hour is just in front of the minute track. The hour is legible in the white circle and the hour change is very rapid (in much less than 30 seconds)=Just Perfect.

Huge congratulations to the Brilliant Watchmaker.

 

A great addition for any collection, with an Artistic worldwide meaning.

 

The Best mechanism, continuous rotating dial with an automatic calibre (reliable workhorse) in a 40mm case which fits perfectly on my wrist size (160mm). Very comfortable and his weight is 75gr.







Alternatives could be Digital watches (Quartz but not my choice) or L&S Zeitwerk (Manual but too large 41,9mm, too thick 12,6mm and less romantic for me).

 

To answer to pm received, to date (May 2017) the official price is 8.800 CHF (without taxes).

A very nice price due to the choice done by Vincent CALABRESE to use the same case design for all his NHC collection (in 40mm for men and 36mm for women models).

LIMITED EDITION at 100ex.

 

I hope you learn more about Vincent CALABRESE novelties under his own brand NHC and you appreciate this live experience.

 He is always innovative and is preparing some Beauties for sure ;-))

 

HAGWE,

Cheers,

Patrickh

You know that I really love watches which display time differently. Great choice. Best wishes Alkiro

...and your choice for the strap is really excellent : classy and classical, but not boring (as black would have been). And the shiny finish instead of mat is also the best one as it gives some pop to the classical painting design of the dial. Congrats again my friend, well done . Mike

Other brands are too much classic in their catalogue. Here, we Purists, are not sheeps ;-))) Maybe, you could be tempted too? Best, Patrickh
