Horological Meandering

Happy New Year to everyone, I hope that 2023 brings you contentment, good health, and many exciting new watches. Early last year I finally realised that Aaron needed a round watch to get a wider appreciation of his amazing timepieces and their incredible ...  

Bexei has beautiful movement so I think skeleton is a good choice, maybe you can try the sapphire dial to show more movement.

I especially agree with your comments about the movement. Kind regards Antony

Design 4 is for me a typical Bexei piece due to the colors used. Number 5 and 8 are also in line with his trademark design. Don’t get me wrong, typically, I would go for a more classic design, but in the market today, there are so many almost similar desi... 

My existing one has the cut-out numeral design. To repeat or not, that's the question. Thanks for your input. Kind regards Antony

Thank you. Kind regards, Antony

I find those to be the most coherent designs. Obviously very different styles, classic or more distinctive.

what you mean. Thanks for your feedback. Kind regards Antony

7 for me.

and classical. Thanks for your input. Kind regards Antony

Nos 3 & 7 stand out for me. Now, can I have on in 37mm please?

The 3D printed model I have is far slimmer than it appears on the renderings. Thanks for your thoughts. Kind regards, Antony

Keep us posted my Friend!!

Thank you for your opinion. What a difficult choice! Kindest regards to you and yours, Antony

Thank you for your viewpoint Kind regards Antony

All beautiful designs but these I picked give me the most Bexei feeling tbh . Please let us know about your choice. I really would love to add one of his masterpieces at some point 🙏🏻

My problem is I have to choose one! I know that he has sold out the first batch (Bexei quantities!), the earliest delivery would now be somewhere in late 2024. I suspect that in the current market Aaron's pricing represents VFM. Kind regards Antony

Any chance to see the movement side, or under the blankets?

Aaron will be sending me renderings of the movement in the next weeks. I will be sure to make a posting when I receive them. Thanks for your thoughts. Kind regards Antony

And also have 2 Bexei in order: 1 Dignitas and 1 round case It really is great working and communicating with Aaron

Aaron is an almost unknown gem, as you say he is a delight to deal with. I'd be interested to see the renderings that he did for your watches, please PM me if you are willing to share them. Thanks for your valued opinion. Kind regards, Antony

These look the nicest to me. I think striking designs are exciting for a minute, but pall over time and the watch comes out rarely to be worn. More classic still have a Bexei look, will attract more people and will end up more likely to be a daily worn wa... 

I don't see this as being a daily watch (I use my titanium Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF most frequently). Every time I wear my existing Bexei I get a thrilled frisson from it. Thanks for your idea. Kind regards Antony

Enjoy!

Debating between a design that is more avant-garde and one that is more traditional and possibly timeless. Ultimately, I may decide to make one, with the expectation that Aaron might make me another dial in the future. This is the timeless design that I’v...  

That is an amazing design!! Classic and contemporary at the same time. Great idea about the dial, it will help to solve my conundrum. Thanks for your valued ideas. Kind regards, Antony

The cool grey looks great and the cutout dial of Photo No. 5 is incredibly impactful and something of a unique look. If you tone it back, you're left with No. 3. No. 4 is stunning if you want a yellow gold watch.

Gods!! It's so difficult to choose. HAGWE Kind regards Antony

my wrist is itching!! Thank you for your feedback. Kind regards, Antony

It’s hard to really decide looking at the renderings but I’m not sure the numbers work for me on the skeleton dial (5). Going with markers on all would also give you something perhaps more contemporary which may suit the overall aesthetic better. Look for... 

Thank you for thinking about it so deeply. Are you suggesting removing all the numerals or everything but 12? I will ask Aaron to produce a new rendering, when I get it I will show y'all. Kind regards Antony

The renderings will tell you.

I will get on it asap. Kind regards Antony

I have always loved when he uses gemstones in his design for the numerals or crown so maybe you can add them in?

Kind regards Antony

or are the numerals not very legible apart from on 5,7 and 8? Perhaps the light has caught the numerals not in the best way. The dials are beautiful though and I am glad Aaron Bexei has ventured into making round cases. Congratulations Antony on your late... 

We did not finalize them so they are just 'there'. I haven't got it yet, another year and I should receive it. Kindest regards to you and yours, Antony

...Bexei is quirky as hell in the best possible way. Always nice to see an independent who isn't a Smith/Daniels clone...
