The hands... is that an optical illusion?

The hands are carved, with the black level being lower. I think the steel in the hands is dark unless polished, and only the higher level is mirror polished to catch the light.

That is awesome!
Very cool hands!
Great watch. Never seen hands like that before.
The reflection on hands threw me off 😂 so is this a modern watch made with vintage style?? Or is it a vintage watch? Cause it looks pretty awesome!

It's a modern and very affordable watch from Merkur (google Merkur watch) with a new idea in hands, but otherwise very much based on classic vintage Chinese watches from the 1960s/70s.
