There is no getting around it just being a big hunk of a watch. But, I’ve always liked them at that scale…
Thanks for the photo reference, one thing that really seems to be missing from the Tsovet site (even hard to find other non-official photos from reviews and such). Definitely still a large watch, no doubt. I think the black on black helps, rather than the olive/gunmetal somewhat contrasting against each other visually. But yeah, that looks fantastic.
It is no Bell & Ross, but a little bit easier to wear everyday. Certainly not for everybody. I feel like the trend is going back to smaller timepieces but I’ve liked the oversized ones ever since the 90’s. There were only a couple of brands making large timepieces then.

Reminiscent of the first MOMA watch of 1947 by Nathan George Horwitt
I don’t think I saw this one in the previous posts so I apologize if it’s already come up but I’ve always loved this little guy, so refined and the domed crystal is such a nice detail.
So I watched the video on the Breguet site from the link above. They were talking about the 200th anniversary of the first wristwatch.
So I googled first wristwatch ever made. According to Guinness, http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records-10000/first-wristwatch/ , Patek Philippe made the first wrist watch in 1868, a mere 145 years ago.
So what’s the skinny? Watch manufacturer pissing match?
The first wristwatch was made for a woman, > Countess > Koscowicz of Hungary> , by Swiss watch manufacturer Patek Philippe in 1868. Although it was the first timekeeping device to be designed specifically for use on the wrist, it was intended primarily as a piece of decorative jewellery.
somewhat of a pissing match I think … it’s in the copy.
you’ll have to click on the image to read it.
Just got a Time Studio Stockholm Streck, white one on the left.
I just got one of these an am super stoked about it. But I am a bit biased now.
This however is now my daily wear watch though.
I haven’t posted here for aaages since the initial post.
I might be late with this one, but there has been a fad for overcomplicated watches going on for a while, luckily it’s not so hot anymore. There were lots of wannabe faux techy watches but Urwerk are the real deal. I could never actually wear them but man do I respect them…: p
that thing is bananas. I love it. The wind up handle is over the top.
I know, phooaaaar… : )
