Administrators TimeTexas Posted September 4, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted September 4, 2023 First thoughts, the MAKS is a beautiful classical case design from Zeitwinkel and comes in at 39mm. The dials shine through with extremely unique colors and an amazing "concentric tapestry" integration of the Zeitwinkel logo that creates the appearance it is radiating from the large sub-seconds dial at the 6. The subseconds has a circular guilloche pattern. The exterior of the dial is adorned with triangular faceted hour markers pair well with the alpha hands and a small-ish Zeitwinkel logo and name sits neatly above the handset. The colors are incredibly unique and from the photographs are bold colors implemented in a somewhat reserved manner. The dials are applied in 20 layers of laquer. They seem to alternate from nearly a softer pastel to more vibrant depending on the angle and lighting. The MAKS is named after one of the co-founders of the brand. It's definitely a step in a more colorful, light-hearted direction and I think its a good move. Zeitwinkel has been one of the absolute best values in independent watchmaking and have been highly regarded as watchmakers. But they have remained relatively under the radar and I think these eye-catching models will generate interest while still remaining attainable. Serious watchmaking can be fun and the MAKS exemplifies that idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
