Collection
APROchrono's initial impressions of a new acquisition sparked a lively discussion among collectors, highlighting the unexpected charm and value found in accessible timepieces. This article delves into the community's insights on how a watch, despite its 'cheap and cheerful' designation, can deliver significant horological enjoyment and aesthetic appeal. APROchrono's detailed observations on the dial's dynamic shades and the watch's wearability on smaller wrists provide a compelling starting point for understanding its appeal.
Never heard of this watchmaker, but its aesthetic is indubitably appealing. Cheers, Filip
… but had great success with their short run models and won a GPHG prize in 2021 I believe. Very vintage (Patek, VC etc) inspired, so not an original design for sure - but for the money it’s a fun watch.
I believe they will be coming out with their first mechanical piece in coming months. But in general a mechanoquartz does have a certain convenience to it.
which is stuck in the customs and Fedex .... hope i ll get it this week ...
... the dial is very beautiful and changes its shade in different lighting conditions. The deeper shade on the subdials is an AP Jumbo blue-grey, and the contrast is very nice. Also enjoying the 38mm vs most of my other watches which are 39-42mm, given my wrist is small.
Hope it clears soon and you have it on your wrist for the weekend. I bought one as a gift for my brother too - and it hasn't left his wrist either
