idk hpw to say thank you enough when reviewers get out of the Rolex, Tudor and Omega zone. KZbin should add a super like button

I like the disclaimer in the beginning. You are a serious producer - like that. :-) Really like your videos. All the best.

The radioactive sign in the center is the second hand.

@1RunnerDad 4 ай бұрын

I figured that, too, but I couldn't tell how one knows which second it's pointing to. I'll have to watch the video again.

I kind of like the look of the watch but not so sure about its theme. Not exactly celebrating being the first watch on the moon.

@Eikenhorst 3 ай бұрын

This might sound crazy to the watch snobs, but I would buy this if it was a quarts watch. Without a second hand you wouldn't notice the smoother sweeping motion of the mechanical watch. Unless you look at the case back, you only notice downsides to this being mechanical, you have to wind it daily, it is less accurate and more sensitive to shocks and of course more expensive.

Kudos Jenni Elle; I think you are the only KZbin reviewer who apparently bothered to ask Maen how they pronounce their brand. Your attention to detail is what makes you a valued reviewer.

If Maen could deliver the watch I ordered last year...that would be great. Lack of communication is an understatement.

@rernkent 4 ай бұрын

It was love at first sight for me when i saw the collab. Ordered one immediately. Always a fan of the Manhattan but felt something was missing. I just wish they kept the open caseback.

@Z-Man1973 4 ай бұрын

Thank you, thank you, thank you for NOT doing another video on Rolex, Tudor. or Omega. I had never heard of Maen until now, and although their watches are too small for my wrists, I think they're very handsome timepieces. The Manhattan collection is a fresh take on the integrated sports watch; very well executed. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and uniqueness. Please keep doing these videos on the largely unknown watch brands. The greater collecting community should appreciate these.

Makes me think of old watches with Radium dials and hands. Seriously, looks great.

Very cool collab. I had the pleasure to meet the guy behind seconde seconde earlier this year at Watches & Wonders in Geneva.

Feel like its a missed opportunity for inset lume along the inner edge of bezel/dial for hour markers.

@JenniElle 4 ай бұрын

ohh that would have been a great idea!!

@chrismills2089 4 ай бұрын

Not one for me, but I can see the appeal. Personally I would like some polished batons to mark the hours, but I know that the goal was to put the stripping on the dial front and centre and not to have anything that would distract from that dial.

Noticed the seconds hand in the hard facts section. Great looking piece.Fantastic work by Maen and the collaborator (I'm not butchering it by trying to spell it out). Fantastic review Jenni.

Great review and congrats on getting to see it before the launch. Gorgeous dial texture. Would love to see that on a diver.

Hi Jenni. Really appreciate your videos and have watched many of them for over a year now. Unrelated question to the video, can you recommend any watch rolls? I know you've mentioned ones in the past but can't find the video(s). Thank You and keep it up!

Dear Jenni, although I love your watch reviews but this one would be probably chosen by Young Werther from the famous novel of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe called "The Sorrows of Young Werther. I do not know why it came to mind

@IgorKvadranti 4 ай бұрын

could we focus on some other more fun watches?

@drnick40 4 ай бұрын

A cool Sellita based watch. Will sell if it’s cheap. However at €1200 it is expensive and only the limited run fans will fork out the premium for the exclusivity. Whatever rocks the boat….

@heckler2611 4 ай бұрын

This reminds me of the Omega Constellation Manhattan, a handsome integrated bracelet design.

@RubenO.K. 4 ай бұрын

History is so absurd sometimes. A watch commemorating the invention of the most effective killing machine of all time. Imagine Nazi Germany winning the War and us talking about the new cool IG Farben Watch…hmm…We kind of do something similar with all the Flieger Watches come to think of it. Watch collecting is crazy. 😂

@thedaveaftertomorrow 4 ай бұрын

Agree, it’s a very weird thing to commemorate on a watch

@bobnewby9129 4 ай бұрын

Oppenheimer's work saved millions of lives in Japan and hundreds of thousands of Allied troops lives. But for the atomic bombs they would not have surrendered and millions of Japanese would have been killed in the planned blockade and invasion of the Japanese home islands.

@saadaldin5770 4 ай бұрын

without the backstory of the watch and what's presenting it could be nice, but it such an uncomfortable watch anyway

It feels like an obvious miss to not use tritium on the hands instead of painted lume...

Not all that easy to get access to tritium.

It's cool looking for what it is but I think they are just trying to ride the hype of the Nolan movie.

So many things about this watch I like, but also so many things about it that don't.

@shanereid5663 4 ай бұрын

How it wears, no micro adjustment?. I noticed that there was a huge gap between the bracelet and your wrist which makes it look like it doesn’t fit you properly,perhaps made for a bigger wrist.

@DaemonViews 4 ай бұрын

I have noticed that they often don't size the watch when it's just a review piece. Might be the case here?

@david12990 4 ай бұрын

Maybe it is due to the lug to lug length versus the bracelet? She is a member of the IBRC.

@noneofus007 4 ай бұрын

Very interesting. It is ok for them to create 'hype' by announcing and advertising a limited edition for a fashion mall type watch that uses cheap third party movements. Limited edition implies 'hard to get or get it while you can'. However when brands like Rolex genuinely become limited and hard to get because of genuine demand, then it is not OK, and everyone hates them.

As a Japanese, I cannot tolerate such an extremely impolite watch. If you think this watch is cool, please think about the many civilians who died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

@jerseyneil1 4 ай бұрын

I agree, memorializing the atom bomb into a watch seems distasteful. But watch collectors will buy anything if you tell them it's sold in a limited quantity. This is one of those gimmicks.
