Naoya Hida - NH Type 2A......

a new offer from the Japanese indie watch maker....

NH Type 2A - manually wound center seconds in 37 mm stainless steel case...

i looks cool & i think the dial design is aesthetically well done. Nothing is mentioned about the movement though...

the previous NH Type 1B/1C, also 37 mm stainless steel case with sub-seconds came with a Valjoux 7750 movement but stripped to time-subseconds only application...

I like the aesthetic restraints and the design feel of 1950s...on top manually wound plus 37mm case makes it interesting too - to be seen in metal !

what do you think ?!

Best,

mahesh.,

Especially the centre seconds any idea of prices. Thanks

nothing mentioned on price...the earlier sub-sec version was around $16k if i recollect well... [nt]

Lovely watches.

By: Claudio S. : April 4th, 2020-02:59

I like the aesthetics of this watches. Definitely in my taste. I personally prefer central seconds. The second one would be perfect with sub dial on 6 o’clock. Really nice watches with right case sizes.

I agree Claudio...in deed there are very few 'simple' watches around 37mm today...i think the case size is coming back as i see most brands coming to 38/39mm now ! [nt]

By: mahesh : April 4th, 2020-03:20

Yes, why not ....

By: Cpt Scarlet : April 4th, 2020-03:08

Lots to like. It would be good to see a wrist shot. I think the price should be considered at Yen 1,800,000 +Tax. Thanks for sharing this.

it was the first pic they've put on insta...hope more info should follow soon... [nt]

By: mahesh : April 4th, 2020-03:21

It’s an interesting piece.

By: Cpt Scarlet : April 4th, 2020-03:23

Solid silver dial.

i love the restrain in the dial...very understated albeit reminds me of the old PP or a recent Longines sector dial - no?! [nt]

By: mahesh : April 4th, 2020-03:26

Great looking watches ,i have been following the brand for a while on IG

By: Watchonthewrist : April 4th, 2020-04:54

Love the classic style.

+1

By: mahesh : April 4th, 2020-05:03

i think this & Kikuchi Nakagawa - both have interesting offers

Absolutely my friend. Would love to see them in person one day [nt]

By: Watchonthewrist : April 4th, 2020-09:21

A triumph in simplicity!

By: sham1 : April 4th, 2020-05:36

Great size, gorgeous numerals and I actually like the colour of the dial and the case shape. A real winner! Thanks for posting Mahesh.

+1 Sham !

By: mahesh : April 4th, 2020-06:45

in deed a very classy time piece !!

The 2A is really appealing.

By: M4 : April 4th, 2020-05:54

Thanks for posting. M4

my pleasure...i liked the 2A too - a very simple daily watch, isn't it ? [nt]

By: mahesh : April 4th, 2020-06:41

I wish he had restrained that subdial

By: cazalea : April 4th, 2020-06:15

So it didn’t take a bite of 8 and 10. I couldn’t live with it... Cazalea

true...would have been better in deed ! [nt]

By: mahesh : April 4th, 2020-06:44

Great piece. Really like the first one pictured.

By: vitalsigns : April 4th, 2020-06:43

Wish it was a bit bigger in the 39mm range. Cheers, John

in deed John, a good time piece...i think the case size is classy but my modern standards it might be considered small.

By: mahesh : April 4th, 2020-06:49

I think he didn't intend to match the modern trend as the dial is designed to 50s styling imho

I think you're right.

By: vitalsigns : April 4th, 2020-07:02

Seeing the more casual nature of the piece, I thought a more casual size would be nicer too. 37 mm is perfect for a dress watch under a well-tailored cuff. And of course, I am thinking of my wrist alone

Looks nice. What does the movement look like? (nt)

By: Ronald Held : April 4th, 2020-12:28

i believe it is a closed case back but no details on it nor the movement...i'll let you know if there is any info further ! [nt]

By: mahesh : April 4th, 2020-12:33

All right, I can wait. (nt)

By: Ronald Held : April 5th, 2020-12:32

NT

it is Valjoux 7750

By: mahesh : April 4th, 2020-21:37

New dial version around $20k Type 1c around $17k

Many thanks for sharing this option my friend

By: Mike H : April 4th, 2020-14:21

Probably a very nice version but I would be happy to see more details including the movement... In the same spirit totally, I remember this iteration that was shown to us here by our friend sham1. I really liked it also... Very classy imho... ...

the Nakagawa is a very interesting one....offers tons and tons of black polished surfaces !

By: mahesh : April 4th, 2020-22:49

also the new white dial is an intersting one too. Unfortunately, both are closed case backs - what i got as feedback for the Naoya Hida is both of the watches carry a Valjoux 7750 movement stripped to Time only features...sadly no pictures of them :-( Pre...

... based on standalone design aesthetics and size. Classic. In terms of value for money would rather get a custom made piece from Torsti Laine and have some change left to buy a few Longines retro re-editions.
