Good stores in NYC for watch straps?
Recent Comments
This reminds me of a bit of exasperation I had a while back with all these various watchmakers coming out with NH35-based pieces. They’re all over Kickstarter and everywhere you turn, there’s another NH35/36-based watch. It was getting to be annoying.
I decided I wasn’t going to buy even one more piece with that movement. What was the point?
Then I came across Nodus watches, specifically the Sector series. Now I own two of them.
The lesson there to myself was that the movement, while the heart of the watch, is only one component. Nodus tunes their watches in 4 positions and includes that data with the watch. Moreover, I love what they bring to the table; the sector dials are handsome, their choice of colors is spot-on, and the finishing exceeds what many other makers are delivering at the price point.
So yeah, to answer the original question, for me, specs are no longer the deciding factor. I’ll buy an NH35/36 watch if the design appeals to me, especially if, like Nodus, the maker puts a little TLC into tuning the piece before sale.
This. I actually like some of Panerai’s stuff but for your situation, the Lotier has my vote. I’d swap out the bracelet for a tan leather strap if you have one though…
Yeah it was super lucky; I was fawning over the prototype and the rep was like, “Hey come back tomorrow…” 😂
So happy with this purchase!
I'm a big fan of this Lorier Zephyr. At first I thought it would just be a case of "yeah that's cool but it's too small for me" look, but then I saw it on Friday in the metal at Windup Watch Fair and I totally changed my mind. They got in a few pieces for sale the following day and, well, my credit card is now $500 heavier.
Worth. Every. Penny.
