But you should understand that the case and lugs are made by the same exact case maker that makes them for Voutilainen.
The cost saving that makes this watch much, much more affordable is in the use of laser and machine cutting for the dial components rather than by hand. And, of course, the movement is not an in-house, hand made movement. But the movement and overall build is incredibly decent for the price and the build quality is spot on.
As for any sentiments that this is merely a copy of this watch or that watch - what is any watch that uses Breguet style numbers? What is any watch that features a guilloche dial?
This tiny company, Ophion, was formed by two very passionate entrepreneurs who happen to be watch guys who set out to source quality components and design a solid watch that other watch guys would appreciate.

Yes,
Excellent choice. I had looked into this model last night.
Big congrats! We look forward to the actual photos ;-)
Mine is supposed to arrive today.
Wow, I never knew of this brand but the watch looks great!
Nice dial...
You get what you pay for

Thank you for your comments. I agree with 99% of your comments with the exception of it being perceived as a copy of another. I beleive many watches have similar characteristics, for example Breguet numerals seem to be everywhere
Great looking watch, good decision
Positive and informative article for sure.
I must say I love them.
Nice!
I believe it is the lighting.
Here is another picture.
