Another WatchCrunch X Jack Mason

Prompted by @Mr.Santana and in celebration of #ChronographWeek I violently photoshopped an affordable WC chronograph concept. Considering the only real LE release came from Jack Mason, I decided to pluck a watch from their catalog and selected the Moto Racing Chronograph as my next victim… errr…I mean as my muse. I’ve always liked this model (especially the gold variant) with its quirky squar-cle seconds register.

Nothing outrageous with the reverse-panda scheme. Tried to inject some of that green we’re familiar with, and then used some pops of orange to balance it out. Add a couple other WC details and voila… the Crunchy Moto Racing is born. Limited to 199 because I can make up whatever number I want. 😂

What do you think? Did I use the right watch? Did I miss the mark? Are your eyes bleeding? Is this a crime against humanity?

It looks good, but instantly reminds me of the Brew Metric.

Appreciate the shout outBevel! Respect 🫡 You did an amazing 🤩 job with this photoshop! So just to give you some insight there is talk about an offical offordable release from @Max down the road. (Hopefully soon) I am also secretly working on a design that might blow your socks off but that will be a mod for my self personally. 😈🤫

Oh yeah - can definitely see similarities! I guess the similar squar-cle case shape doesn’t help much either 😂 You should absolutely never time your coffee with this watch though, unless you want a cup that tastes like hot asphalt. 🏍

Very cool - didn’t know a release was actually in the works! Look forward to seeing what the hive mind puts together. Also looking forward to your upcoming mod - I’ll prepare my sandals in anticipation of my socks burning up in our atmosphere 🔥

Is it a home? Or more of a refuge? 😂

Gives us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning for the Call.

Look forward to seeing it cased. What movement are you thinking?

Keeping the movement a Simple NH35. Because there are so many mod options.

Nice! This is one I’d seriously consider getting if it were real.

You had me ready to click on a link to put my credit card info in…

Dunno… 🤔 it’s a nice design but doesn’t scream WatchNerds enough …

The style of case…and the automotive theme…I think a rally strap is spot on

Santa would definitely have to work some magic. 🍻

Never been fond of that big fellow, he ain't never bring me spud! However, I do have a lot of teeth left, might have to ask the toothfairy for an advance on my allowance.

Any chance we could get this watch with the ST19? I've always wanted to try this chrono in a modern design.

Very cool!

Love the 'Crunchy' detail 🥳

I always thought Brew could turn into a good WC Chronograph too?

You’d have to take it up with Mr. Jack Mason himself 😂

Thank you Brew would absolutely be a great partner in a WC Chrono… they are so creative and distinct with their watch designs, I’d be so pumped to see a collab with WC 💪

Very nice. Sounds like it ties in with the comments @Max and I had back and forth when the first watch was unveiled. In a nutshell, I promoted the idea of affordability, given that many people would like to rep their 'clubhouse' but aren't interested in/have no need for the watch being super expensive or full of features, either because they already have watches in that tier, or because they simply don't buy watches like that. In turn that first release basically ruled out a whole cross section of the community. And as I said at the time, respect to Max for following his convictions and doing what he felt was right the first time around. But that doesn't mean all releases have to be in the same vein. So happy to hear 'something else' might be up.

@bevelwerks I must say "wow!", excellent work on the render! Especially the green "O" on the back. Haha! This community never ceases to amaze me. I love it. Based on the success on the first go, I wouldn't rule out future opportunities! There are so many great brands to collaborate with, I'm glad I'm not @Max at choosing which ones!

Thank you - appreciate the kind words! The green “O” is the cherry on top… and its great when you already have a nice caseback to dress up.

I think the first collab Strat-O-Timer was fantastic - makes me hopeful to see more in the future! Agreed that Max will have a tough job narrowing down his option, but I am sure he is up to the task. Thanks again! 🍻

Always loved that case shape. Great work as always @bevelwerks

Plus, it's dimensions are friendlier on the smaller wrist. 👌
