The Hyperspace is beautiful, the sort of watch I'd wear if I was going to try and make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. The Halograph 3 is a stunner. Thanks for being different

I didn’t expect to really see much that I liked here (if it’s under $1000, it’s Hamilton or Seiko for me), but those Xerics are really something. I love crazy designs, innovative ways of looking at and telling the time. Usually you have to go up to companies like MB&F to see really funky things, but Xeric looks like it’s offering some very cool stuff at affordable prices, and while I have a collection of mostly classic model black dial sports and dive from mainstream luxury watchmakers, the Xerics are very appealing. Even if I never end up buying anything like that, I’m certainly glad it exists.

Love it when you cover microbrands more in-depth! The standard Rolex/Omega/Tudors are excellent watches, but a tad boring from a collector’s viewpoint. In that regard, micros are so much more interesting, offering more fun per dollar, imho. 😉
@apageiiАй бұрын
I agree. I love most Rolex/Omega/Tudor. They are iconic and will be a staple in my collection. But seeing these obscure pieces of art that I had no idea existed. So exciting.

I have a Xeric Vendetta (58 of 100, supposedly) and a Halograph 2. They have Seiko movements and match accuracy with my various Seiko's. I did have to send the vendetta in for a manufacturing defect, during COVID no less, but their support was pretty darn good! I really like their unique take on watches and would recommend them!

@paulthomas5015Ай бұрын
Hey Teddy, thank you for introducing Cincinnati watches to me. I just checked their store and really love the "Concourse Campagne". Unfortunately Cincinnati has no European retailers, therefore a ~1000€ watch turns into a ~1300€ watch, due to import taxes. I might stick with my recently set targeted watch then, a Mido Ocean Star, which is also in the 1000€ price range.
