Independents

Dear fellow AHCI purists, Trying to make a (fun) decision between two very different pieces. Obviously the style and philosophy vary greatly between the two watches. Both speak to me for different reasons and are relatively close in price. Any insight or ...  

The Slow Runner speaks to me instantly - the slow beat movement is mesmerizing and it is a great looking watch. However, I am not sold on it for one reason: the inability to read the time at a quick (or even lengthy glance), which arises from the decision... 

I feel the choice is terribly AM design is somewhat 'wannabe' IMHO. Dare I say even somewhat, outright unattractive.... L/H is in a league of its own. The movement alone... Good luck.

With the Slow-Runner you get a modern movement with silicon escapement, 7500bph etc., but from the esthetics I find the dial incongruent. Somehow the seconds subdial doesn't fit with the rest. The Lang & Heyne esthetics just work and the movement look... 

over-stating all the points it seems so desperate to make - including writing the beat rate up front on the top.. Would you really want to get the time off it? Lang & Heyne is in a different league altogether. So there can be no comparison! ;-) amerix... 

As always, the feedback here is insightful and well informed. The appeal of the Braun, for me, was the concept of "slowing down time". I am at a point in my life where I find this to be in-tune with the path I wish to take. That being said I am not a fan ... 

...that the L&H is the clear winner here, at least in my humble opinion! Best, Gary G

Timeless aesthetics and wonderful movement.
