Farer Cobb Monopusher. Somewhere in this platform I posted a comment with a very detailed review. I encourage folks to seek it if interest in this ⌚ exists.

The aesthetics of this ⌚ are unique and refreshing. The dial is striking, and the yellow 10 minute segment on the minute counter is helpful. I am a massive fan of the pulsometer scale. The bracelet is not bad, but I prefer this yellow strap. The knurling on the side of the case is really handsome and a pleasant texture.

The components of this ⌚ are somewhat disappointing. The ambitious lume does not last. The pulsometer scale is so bloody small that it requires a magnifying lens and is consequently not useful. The ⌚ wears quite thick in part due to the Sellita SW510 MP Élaboré mechanism. As with all Sellita and ETA cam-actuated mechanisms, the firm push is met with that spongy remote control button Feedback versus the crisp click of a column wheel chronograph mechanism.

While I have not measured accuracy on a timegrapher, I did not detect time lost but cannot and will not say that is verifiable.

In retrospect, I would NOT have bought this ⌚ again. Farer did a nice job assembling this ⌚, and I have little to begrudge them. . .except that microscopic ans useless pulsometer scale, which is why I bought the bloody ⌚!!! At the time of purchase, I engraved it with a personal phrase in Mandarin, which will limit prospects for sale.

The take away lesson from this is to really try and see if one can see the ⌚ in person prior to buying. If I had not engraved it, perhaps I could have returned it for a full refund. Also. . . please consider Farer seriously; their build quality is as good, if not better, than that of Christopher Ward, which was another online purchase that has left a strange taste on my pallette.

I like how somehow what seems like disparate elements all come together into something surprisingly cohesive. Thanks for sharing!

I just wish that the lume would last longer than one hour.
