TheSav 2 Posted December 5, 2017 I spotted this on WUS and have fallen in love. Here is a teaser pic. This has to be the best looking watch offered by a microbrand in a long time if not ever. There are hints of Genta influence with plenty of originality and its own DNA. Plus it's not another simple homage cashing in on the trend. Have a look the the polished, brushed, DLC and sandblasted surfaces. And did anyone notice the pushers? What a bloody great idea. Makes me wonder why no one thought of that before. This will be opening for pre-orders on 9th December with delivery set for February 2018. I should mention that I have absolutely no affiliation with this brand although I have had emails back and forth with the founder/owner. He comes across as helpful, genuine, knowledgeable, and polite. The price will be $1490 which may seem expensive to some but look at the design and the specs. Considering the cost of a decent replica, or even a lot of micros, I think it;s very reasonable. Also, the first 50 orders get it at $890! I will be hoping to be one of the first 50 for sure. SPECSCase: Stainless Steel 316LDimension: Diameter 42mm, width 45mm with crown protections, total thickness: 14.60mmCrystal: Scratch resistant sapphire front and back.Dial: Engraved double layered dial . Applied metal indexes with luminescent materialHands: Custom made diamond cut hands with luminescent material. Water resistance: 200m, 20ATMMovement: Self winding movement with chronograph module (eta 2894-2)Decoration: Perlage finish with customized Rotor.Functions: Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Date, Chronograph with Diving Reflector Crown.Strap : Hand stitched genuine shark leather and custom made silicon strap.The website - https://www.hauttman.com - states that only 100 of each variant will be produced. I also know that the first 50 orders will get a discounted price of $890! From what I gather, the pre-order is only a 50% payment with the remainder prior to delivery.I for one, will definitely be jumping in on this and would happily pay the $1490 as I think there is a lot of value in this piece. The design, dial, presentation and choice of movement make this a winner in my opinion. Here's some more pics I poached from their site, facebook and other posts. What do you guys think?

rusty peters 0 Posted December 5, 2017 I love it. I think it is safe to say that it will wear a lot like the 42mm AP ROO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
