Administrators TimeTexas Posted August 31, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2022 So I can across this watch a little while back and really liked it. I didn't realize this was a group effort with Bill from WatchArtSci on YouTube. I enjoy his channel but haven't tuned in to YT in a few weeks. Anyways, I thought this was interesting. I haven't had an outing to be part of a Watch Club like Cronotempvs but this seems a little different as they built it from the ground up. Pretty amazing. Even more amazing is they had 51 people involved and were able to design this and ultimately create it with a concensus. Really a beautiful timepiece, very impressed. Anyways, a couple videos from WatchArtSci on the components and the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed the Grocer Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 In my opinion, one of the most interesting project this year. Just too large for me ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators TimeTexas Posted September 1, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2022 Agreed, I watch that channel some, but never really even considered actually getting a group together like that and creating a brand new watch. I love the watch - amazing they were able to get 50+ people to agree on something and not have it look like a disaster. Regardless, I missed those posts about the group until just a couple days ago. Fascinating. I'd love to do something like that at some point. @Ed the Grocer do you mean "large" as in size or cost? For me, the size seems very good for a dressier watch. I like a little larger for sports watches - about 41mm is perfect. As far as the cost, it isn't cheap for sure, but I do think its a good price for the watch you're getting with some of the movement upgrades, unique design, etc. I'm not in the market for a watch like that right now, but it would be near the top of the list (along with a D. Dornbluth) if I was looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed the Grocer Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 @TimeTexas too large for my wrist : the ideal diameter for a dress watch is , in my opinion 35/36 mm. It's very personnal. The price is fair for this quality level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th4tk1d Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Definitely agreed that the value for this piece is phenomenal! I love the design of it, including that quirkiness of the non-standard subdial location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch Bill's channel some but recently while building this site I haven't had a lot of time for YouTube and I completely missed this. I'm also not on Facebook much.
