    Chris Nolan just had to make sure he didn’t use CGI for even the tiny bits 🤣🤣
    Love him or hate him, that’s dedication.

    I ordered the 42 mm, love the dial, hands. Fine watch.

    After watching this short I immediately looked for an in-stock unit and got one, this movie means so much to me, it's my favorite movie of all time and the happenstance of a new Nolan movie coming out and just very very recently coming into the watch hobby (only 2-3 months in) I had to get one.
    38mm Khaki Murph is now my 2nd watch after my Seiko Speedtimer, I am so inlove with this piece, if anything the 38mm one is more true to the movie watch because it doesn't have the morse code on the seconds hand, and the fact that I love the aesthetic of the watch too (I'm a sucker for clean arabic numeral dials), win win and then some. I love it so much, every time I look at it, butterflies in my stomach.

    I have the 42 mm and it’s by far the most fun to wear watch I own. It’s hard to explain but there is some genuine attractiveness in the simplicity of the watch. I just can’t stop looking at it

    Trust me, there are plenty of ways. They just require effort on the manufacturer's part.

    This is what is happening right now with my 2006 swatch irony. The second hand never moved back and forth but now it’s starting to do it but I can fix it my self but I’m just to lazy to push the button. It’s a chronograph by the way.
