| Beautiful watch. Interesting concept., March 20, 2009 |
| By eil Fusillo " j-random guy |
The watch has a nice, large face, but not overly so. For those who are turned off by the 47mm and 48mm Brietling watch faces as being too huge, this may border on too big for you. But at 45mm, it' s a nice, hefty size without being gargantuan.
The leather of the band is thick and rugged, and looks like it will last for at least most if not all of the 11 years of the warranty period. The watch itself is quite beautiful. Rose gold to accentuate fall colours. Black to match a variety of clothing.
And then there' s the half-quartz, half-automatic internals. Time is kept regular with fine quartz movement, showing the hour and minute. There is no second hand, and there are no ticks for minutes between the 5-minute marker, so setting this to exact time can be somewhat of a clumsy experience, but if you set it on the 5-minute mark, you' ll do okay.
The spinning gears over to the left of the watch face are all done with automatic movement (for those who don' t know, an automatic watch is usually a combination wind watch and also gains its power from a pendulum that moves when your arm moves, winding the watch on its own from body movement). This means that it will only be ticking away if you' ve been moving within the last day or so to wind the mechanism. If you leave the watch off for a few days, and come back to it to see no spinning gears, this is completely normal, and it just needs to be worn to spin up again.
All in all, it' s a lovely design, and a smart-looking watch. Dressy enough for any occasion, and yet casual enough to wear on a daily basis. |
