Horological Meandering

 

A few initial thoughs on the watch.  It's 42mm diameter and 12mm think, but because of the black rehaut and the integral thin bezel, it wears pretty big and its dial really stands out.  Weight is just over 100g with the strap and buckle and it sits very nicely on the wrist with the curved down lugs.  It's a very neat and complete case design.

Lume is amazing.  Everything white on the dial and hands lights up, except the script on the dial.  Great fun to watch the second hands running round like a slow helicopter.  It's quite an unusual piece, the nearest I can think it reminds me of are some of the older PVD'd Porsche Design watches, but with a far larger dial.

Anyone who is still undecided regarding the PuristSpro version, I think that It will be like nothing else out there, the standard version is pretty unique in my opinion.

All the best to you all

Now for some pics...........................

 

 

northpole,

I'm glad it arrived safely, mate.

Enjoy your St Gallen Prize watch and I hope you will like th PPro ABR version too. You'll be one of the few in the wrold with both......and three coloured (black, red and white) straps!  Kool !

Regards,

PPro Team

Wear it good health. Cant wait to get hold of the PPro version

Cheers

if you feel like sending it for an off road experience you know where i am   it'll be good to give it a thrashing before the purists arrive.

well done

Graham 

... that the PPro watch will not arrive in time for my "Dracula-Tour" through Transsylvania and the Carpathians next week. I had hoped to conduct a first experience test off road with it. Now I have to wait for a whole year ...

… heart rate and respiration rate in the un-dead, Marcus!

 

Some novelists have used the transmissible infectious disease scenario to explain vampirism and other afflictions of the un-dead (zombies), so a disinfectable watch might have some value.

 

Enjoy your trip; sounds fascinating.

 

Kind regards

Sorry Marcus.

The super duper QC police at St gallen refused to accept our PPro dials with the raised cartouches.

They sent them back to the dial-maker asking for perfection.

Frankly speaking, only 7th dan black-belt PuristS with 20x magnification loupes could have spotted the miniscule aberration...... 

Kudos to St Gallen for being so purist.......

Regards,

Congrats on the prize once again, and that's the 1st time I've seen the Disinfectable on a white strap.  I like the look alot, and I think I'm going to order one for my PPro ABR.

Cheers,
Anthony

Congrats & enjoy!

Thanks everyone for your comments.   The strap is actually not pure white, just a very slight grey to it, but it does complement the watch well.  As Graham said, not sure about the PuristS red strap, but you never know until you actually try it on.

 My wife likes the watch as well as the grey strap, so this is probably another watch I'm going to 'loose' from time to time.   But when I get the PuristS version, I'm sure we can keep changing over!!

Overall, I am very inpressed with it, and of course impressed with the PuristS for running the competition, fantastic.
