Not a fan to be honest.
To me, the name and as a result, logo ruin the dial. Otherwise it is a nice tribute if it were $750. Otherwise, there are better options out there that also included the small seconds like the Calatrava.
It reminds me strongly of the Baltic MR01, which I love, but looks silly on my wrist at 36mm.
Many less $$$ for the Baltic though!
I really like this one. But I like the Baltic more
When I read the name I can't help bit think of this guy ...
I like it in concept. The logo choices kill it though. I don’t know why they had to print “the” Archiwatch. It makes it a very long letter string on an otherwise bare dial.
I don’t really care the logo below center either. I think the logo below the 12 is something to focus on and orient the dial to your eyes. That’s just missing here. It might just be me but sometimes subtle design choices kill an otherwise great watch.

Agreed, not a fan of the logo

I prefer the Baltic one
