Lorier | I'm liking what I'm seeing

Just now getting introduced to this brand.

The Falcon and Astra look great to me.

If you had to pick one... get both right?

And yes. As @SpecKTator says, I'm a fan.

Love their design ethos.

Love how they pick three historically significant models as inspiration and yet still do their own thing.

Love the mantra of making solid, elegant, tough, good looking watches at affordable ends of the spectrum.

But most of all, love me some #acrylic goodness. 👌🏻🤌🏻🤘🏻🤙🏻

I did notice right away how transparent they were with their design inspiration which I found refreshing.

I can't deny how good that acrylic looks.

Lol, back at you, flossin that Monta, with some legit wear marks!! 👌🏻🤌🏻🤘🏻

....man the good ol days of baggy suits and Wil Smith the rapper....

I've been wanting to put classic Men in Black gifs, this one goes with sooo much.

Question is who will admit they had this on their MP3 player/OG Apple iTunes...?

BETTER question is who owned this album on CD? 🫣🤪

That transparency, and listening to the owners, Lorenzo and Lauren Ortega, on why they do what they do sold me.

For the Neptune, Mrs. Solidyetti surprised me with it for our 5 yr anniversary, the rest just kinda happened.

Dont need another Hydra, but that all Black Hydra Zulu looks SICK!

My 2002 Sony Vaio would still be going strong if it wasn't for Morpheus, Limewire, etc. Damn you p2p nudie flicks!

The Falcon is incredibly versatile too. Here's some straps that seemed to go really well, and it's current strap, a Forstner Klip.

Need to try it out on one of my Zane's Handmade eventually.

Swear I'm not shilling for Lorier btws, but since I got em, might as well let others see how they look ya know? 😉😅🫣

Those natos/Zulus are perfection. Which isn't a surprise honestly. That style of watch and straps are a match made in heaven.

·

Gotta agree, worth checking out the Neptune as well! 🙂

·

Great advertising.

·

I really both but I’d personally go for the Astra between the two.

·

First, the advertisement for these watches is great. It looks to go back to the 60’s style. As for my favorite, I would go for the Falcon even though I like a watch with a date complication, I prefer the look of a the dark symmetrical dial with the arrow top hour hand that alpha styling of the minute hand makes it look like an arrow in flight across the sky or a shooting star.

I had no idea it came before the Tudor! I want one but can’t decide between the white or the gilt dial.

Both are great, but I love the white dial! Can't go wrong

·

I will be getting one of these two as my next watch. I really can't pick which yet, but I think i'll go falcon.

·

Both. But the Astra first.

·

Like the designs a lot but what’s up with those bracelets?! They look blocky and not up to the rest of the watch.

Call me crazy but I'm a fan of the jingly-jangly cheap stamped/folded steel look. Not saying those bracelets are stamped or folded, but they do remind me of that style. They're so cheap and brutally utilitarian, like the sheet metal food trays; toss them around and it doesn't matter.

Have one on my radar

Actually if you talk to Lorenzo and Lauren, they specifically do mention they designed the bracelets to callback to those "jangly affairs" 😂.

Completely unrelated company, but that is why I'm luvin Marc @longislandwatch 's bracelet for the Seiko Solar 38.5's.

Has that jangly feel, yet it's milled very well and has solid endlinks. YMMV

100% for me. I tried on my friends older GMT with the interchangeable aluminum bezels with the jangly bracelet and I was sold. I don't know Rolex so well and can't be bothered to find that exact model, but if I were to, I'd get that beautifully jangly one. Sure, I have my watches with sturdy bracelets and they feel good too, but gimme some jangliness anytime!

Jangle all the way mf. I didn't know I liked jangly until I wore one last year.

I like your point though - I don't want cheapo stamped clasp with jangly, I want my jangle cake and have my sturdy parts where needed.

I would have to agree with you there. Best of both worlds. 😂
