Wiz 0 Posted January 31, 2011 I recently received 2 FM from MRep. Here are a few pics of the "Jumbo" model I've made this week end while visiting some friends in the country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted February 2, 2011 Nice Wristies Wiz ! I don't know how I missed this post. I was looking for last weeks wrist check before I can't find it. I now see from looking at your wrist pix that as much as I like the FM's, I probably can't wear one. I think it would be too large. I couldn't have a crazy hours because it would make me "crazy". It looks cool when the time changes, but I would like to just look at the time and not examine the watch for it. I suppose you get use to the locations of the hours, so maybe I am just old fashioned. I still really like the FM tourbillon and the FM funny hours, but now see, that my wrist probably isn't large enough to wear it. Thanks for the pix All the Best, Aren I know boyz...I am already "crazy" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spboudart 0 Posted February 2, 2011 Just drunk a bottle of Larrivet Haut-Brion, last week, nice little wine, I was just wondering if it was made by the owner of the Chateau Haut-Brion (the Saint Julien) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stiltzkin 0 Posted February 2, 2011 Maybe a stupid question... Do the reps have the 'jumpy' hour hand on hese crazy hours? I presume there is some clever engineering behind that functionality in the gens, but has it been replicated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiz 0 Posted February 2, 2011 Yes, it has the crazy hours function with the jumpy hour hand. This complication exists on 21j but there is no eta/eta clone version yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MReplica's site is not up to date right now and with CNY, I ain't gonna get an answer for a while... What did you pay if you don't mi d me asking? Seen a couple of the crazy hours on other dealer sites for less than $100, but no idea on the movement.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't get them from his website, he sourced them for me, but just tell him that you want the same as mine (the Jumbo model) and it should be alright. I don't remember the exact price as I ordered the watches back in November, but in my memory it was very reasonnable. About the movement type, if it has the crazy hours function, it's a 21j. No other option right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted February 2, 2011 My wife's had a Crazy Hour watch for over a year (perfect size for a women). She likes to take it wine tasting as it's an instance conversation maker. Apparently I don't talk to her enough so she feels like she has to talk to everyone else. That jumbo size looks about right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aargh 0 Posted March 20, 2011 I recently received 2 FM from MRep. Here are a few pics of the "Jumbo" model I've made this week end while visiting some friends in the country. How big is your wrist? I just ordered this jumbo, but now I'm worried it might be too big for me! I've got a 7.5 inch wrist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phaedo 0 Posted March 20, 2011 My wife's had a Crazy Hour watch for over a year (perfect size for a women). She likes to take it wine tasting as it's an instance conversation maker. Apparently I don't talk to her enough so she feels like she has to talk to everyone else. That jumbo size looks about right. FM should use that as a sales line for them - don't want your wife talking to you? Get her this, and she can talk to anyone else instead so you can get on with something else For anyone wondering about the crazy hours function, I saw a teardown once (think it was over at rwgjnr) that showed how the jump function was done - basically had a tooth missing on one of the cogs so it advances 5 positions instead of just one, and if you look at the way the numbers are, you can see that every 5th number is the 'next' one.

TonyUK 0 Posted May 21, 2012 Thought i'd bump this to see if anyone knows if there have been any developments with the Crazy Hours since last year... anyone know if there are some good high end models around? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amit 72 Posted May 21, 2012 i think from what Wiz said the rep that he has seems to be pretty good. Not sure if an eta clone version has been developed though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
