All the best to Fred. He clearly know what he is doing as a designer, because several top micros owe him a beer or two, put it that way! A small watch in the case of a big watch, but if your eyes can cope, then is sure is pretty. Cheers, Jody
I've always wondered why maisons never made a date window in the same shape as the large hour markers. Finally, someone who gets it. It's beautiful. This will be my first Kickstarter watch.
I'm not crazy about his overall asthetic but I do really like how he integrates the date window so seamlessly on his own watches.
I love this design. I usually dont like date windows at 3, but this one makes it work with the same shape of indices at the other cardinal positions. Nice hour hand and dial texture too.
Nice that the designer actually put some thought into the date wheel. The color and numeral match is a great touch.
Thanks for keeping us entertained with the amazing content Jody💪🏼 I got into watch collecting because of this channel and still base many of my purchases on your content. The collection is coming along nicely🙂. Warmest Regards 🇿🇦
Thanks for watching mate! I'm named after one of your countrymen by the way....
Had the privilege to review the Nautilus and to talk quite a bit with Fred (and even meet one of his cousins 😂).
He is a brilliant and humble man with a great passion to what he does (and he does it well).
Yeah he is a top guy.
He's a rich jerk!
Sooo many beautiful little touches combine to create a trully original design! Excellent!
Lovely watch. I bought the Zebec Corsair ZC1 when I saw the review on your channel. I actually bought the green watch. I'm still very happy with it, but I sometimes miss a date window. The Pilgrim would solve this. Great video as always. 👍
Thank you for the review Jody ! It's always good to hear constructive criticism .
Very well designed watch. I wish Fred all the very best! ❤
I love the originality and build. Thank you featuring such a broad range of manufacturers, Jody.
Love the design and the execution but I totally agree with your comments in the review. Would have been nice to see the internal bezel in action as its a large part of the design.
I really like art deco style stuff, and the dial looks good. I really like the multi-piece case too, very interesting. But.. the wide bezel combined with the big inner rotating bezel, just makes it feel like there's a lot of empty space on the watch.
Great vid as always jody, not so keen on this one but nice to see something a little different from a relative newcomer tot he market
This is sweet, super different, and greatly executed. That case is just something else, and even that dial has some JLC polaris vibes.
Because of your channel, I now own Spinnakers. And Phoibos without you getting the word out there regarding micro brands we would all be stuck with Seiko’s (which I have a few) G shocks and Casio’s Citizens and accurist, and yes I have a few But you showed me the light, and what you can get on a budget. Thank you
This is a beauty. Really like the whole design and how he hides that date window by integration into the whole design. Not something we see very often. For too many watches including the most expensive the date window is an afterthought, more about where to put it rather than how to put it. This will be a winner.
Wow, they're beautiful! Love the green one...
It’s classy, glorious design notes, I love the art deco looks
Wow, this is great. I've been looking for a green watch, I'm not keen on the colour blue but with this I prefer it! I think ill wait to see what other watches come before making any hasty decisions. This is really something new and fantastically designed
On FIRE! 🔥 What a great design and dial layout. The integrated date complication is slick, and adding luminescence to it was a classy touch...keeps it in character!
Brilliant design, and love the date integrated into the position. Wish it was a tad thinner with less of a bezel. The straight link bracelet looks like an afterthought. Thanks for sharing Jody.
I just bought a Nautilus Bronze Red and have a Pilgrim "Young Captain Edition" that arrives shortly.. Its a great watch! I am a fan of 20,000 leagues under the sea also, so the little touches that tie in with the story also interest me a lot..
What a beauty! I love the depth of those indices. 👍
It would have been nice to see the operation of the inner rotating bezel. I can see from on of the images that it is a screw down crown, but it still would have been nice to see how well it rotates.
Case looks really nice, the dial size was the first thing that struck me, a slimmer bezel might have made the proportions look better. It looks far better on the bracelet, I like the straight end link especially, gives it a bit of character and having an SW200 instead of an NH35 inside means its actually going to be pretty good at telling the time. Looking forward to see how the pilot's watch turns out.
The Art Deco case is gorgeous. I agree that the dial is a bit small, but I love the way the date window fits the theme. The case though, it's one of the best looking cases I've seen in years.
I really like this one, especially on the rubber strap.
That date window is GENIUS!
Fitted ends for both bracelet and rubber would have been the icing on the cake.
I really like it. I think it would have looked even better with a larger face and smaller bezel. I would def consider this as collection worthy. Merci!
Stunning watch! I like the layering on the dial and bezel. At first look it's a big thumbs up from me.
I know nothing about Art Deco nor steampunk.
However, the watch is very interesting.
Crazy case, best date window implementation, WOW.
Thanks for the video Jody and give the watch a proper video.
whaou, what a great design! i usually liké compressor style but Here it's a Real chunky one. beautiful original design, i love it!!! thanks Jody for this review...
Very nice piece, sort of a “patina’d” face with the indices and hands, definitely Art Deco style. Nice. 👍🇨🇦
1:29 - - I really like how the 6, 9 and 12 numerals are framed the same as the date over at the 3. ⌚😎🤙
That must be the best integrated date window I have ever seen! Well done indeed 👏
Nice review Jodi. Love that you bring attention to a brand that most people don’t know.
Fabulous looking watch. Love the case design and integration of the date is genius. Dial is great, handset is cool. Box sapphire is nice. SW200 a great touch. I see myself buying one for sure.
These are beautiful. Best date integration I've seen. Cheers!
My favourite features are the custom date wheel and it's integration in the dial. But I agree, I'm neither a fan of compressor style divers because of the tiny dial.
I love it ! Especially the blue on rubber ....
The. Man. Behind your favorite micro brands. Just. Started his
"Empire State Building Meets Steam Punk" that's a very good analogy, too kind but very applicable. I wouldn't even buy it for a friend, but I would buy an Eterna Kon-Tiki anytime.
Another cracking review, Jody. I'm with you on your thoughts about the inner bezel being far too wide, significantly impinging on the dial real estate. The bracelet looks like an afterthought, without fitted endlinks it actually looks a bit odd. Not a fan of the hour hand. Innovative design of the 4 trapezoidal indices, with the date window not looking out of place or unbalancing the look of the dial. A few hits and a few misses for this one. Still, a brand to keep an eye on in future.
It's a truely beautiful watch, love the style... I'll take the green one thank you!
I like the design overall, and what a nice job with the date! I never hear anyone else voice this complaint, only the opposite, but I don’t get minute hands that extend to the far side of the markers (or sometimes beyond). I agree on the straight bracelet end links, it always looks like you picked up a generic, one size fits all bracelet, when I can see that quite a bit of thought went into this one otherwise.
Great! More power to him. Perhaps his future designs might go even more ART DECO and vintage. Ive always wanted a LAVENTURE... maybe this man can make watches like that available
That green dial is stunning, very interesting looking case as well.
Nice watch that seems well built. All the best!
That is quite an interesting watch. Curiously it is the blue one I'm drawn too and that is rather unusual for me. I am generally a green watch person. The only way to resolve my conflict, I guess, will be to buy both. Great review Jodi!
I’m with you on the blue over green. To me it’s a bit more subdued.
Just took a look and I will be getting a bronze nautilus. These are without a doubt the most unique and well thought out watches for these prices I have seen. My god they are just gorgeous
Hi Jody,
I like the solution for the date window! It’s perfect to remain the symmetry of the dial.
Best regards,
Claus
I love this date wheel execution. Should be the standard!
Jody, you bring up a good point. I've been waiting for Art Deco to make a reappearance. To me personally, that was a high-water mark in design. The same with Streamline Moderne which was roughly similar.
That is an original and very good-looking watch. His dive watch is also a looker. Great review.
Nice looking watch and case back 👍👍. Happy birthday to the little guy 😁
I love it. The only thing I don’t like is the end links on the bracelet and I don’t think there should be the numbers at 12,6 & 9. The third of every month would mess me up looking for the date. Lol.
I like it, legibility is good considering the small looking face, you sold me when you said rubber strap. Really lively symmetry. Signed crowns don’t do much for me but add mess. Art Deco rules, which is why the Cartier Santos is so cool.
This watch just makes me want to go to the beach! I’m really into compressor style watches at the moment.
A clever and unique design that works well. I'd still put it on a Barton silicone strap because their end strap keeper is almost at the end of the strap. If the original buckle from the watch could work on the Barton strap, even better.
Great review again Jody, Internal rotating bezels are wasted on me I'm afraid, would be nicer to have more dial to see than another ring to twiddle with 🤭
It is very close, for me ... but going to have to pass due to that "double bezel" and its impact on the actual dial size. No mention of the internal bezel action? Bi-directional? Number of clicks/detents, if any?
Love the 12-6-3-9. Love the overall look. If it had a thinner bezel and a larger dial in black, it would be on my short list. Very interested in seeing more!
Wow, love this design style!
Love it... but, don't like the retro numerals on the inner bezel. Great video.
Best 3 o'clock date integration I've seen 👍
Great video, as always Jody! A very nice and unique watch! The lume is awesome and the matching date window with the hour markers only compliments the design. Would love to get this one.
Very beautiful! Really like this, might be my first Kickstarter watch.
Nice design very different to what is out there. My only niggle would be the length of the second hand (just a little too long) and the bracelet. It needs a fitted bracelet at that price together with an adjustable clasp. I wish Fred every success at the launch I’m sure it will sell well
Those lugs are excellent. Double stepped.
The bracelet is perfect so I'd put up with the fitment.
I really like it. 👍
You are more fussy than me.
Which I really appreciate.
Interesting looking piece, I would love for the rubber strap to have been fitted to the case a little better (no gaps).
I concur about the bracelet. If you're going to do a date window at 3 you better make it work and this one does...but please consider moving it to 6! Cool watch and I'd strongly consider a pledge/purchase a tad cheaper (with a Miyota maybe) and a terrific bracelet.
This is the best application of a date window. Why can't they all be like this, and yet it has a bracelet with no otf micro adjustment.
Very interesting design, I don't see myself wearing one but it's definitely a unique and original design.
good lookin watch, the faux patina doesn't match the date's faux patina, but the starch white on the blue looks better anyways
I'm liking the green with the aged lume. It reduces the in-your-face-ness of the chonk.
Green one on green rubber is absolutely fantastic looking! I'd go so far as to say I prefer it over something like the green Alpinist. Of course the price tag helps, ha
Nice video mate x
id like to see a thinner bezel to create more space for the dial. as is it looks squeezed to me.
Wow up late here in NY in time to catch your latest masterpiece review early in Oz. Fab! 👌 👏
Thanks for watching the channel mate!
@@JustOneMoreWatch love your content BTW I'm another expat Brit like you except I'm a southerner who flew a short hop West......
This watch is so good! I'm currently I love with 38mm and smaller but I might buck that trend for this one. The weight is off-putting, I'll have to give it some thought.
Best watch I’ve seen in a while when it comes to micros
Bought a dual crown compressor style before and it's not for me, but the execution here seems great and I'm curious to see what a pilot style watch with this aesthetic will be like.
Your theme music makes my budgie excited!
Wow. I really like the look of that.
nice watch love the green version on rubber dont like that braclet... cheers...
Love the design, can see it being popular! Good value too when you look at other Sw200 powered watches on the market
Hi Jody, A great looking watch, would love to see the centre section of trhe dial in just a simle 38mm dress watch. That to me would be my want it watch. Hope Fred thinks about that idea
I think maybe Peter Kotsa showed this watch off a little while ago. I think maybe the main niggle might be the weight, as well. Surprisingly, if not unnecessarily, heavier than maybe it should or could be. It's pretty good looking and thoughtful design. I would have also preferred a fitted endlink bracelet..straight endlinks only work if the lugs are cut straight or notched out where you don't have as much of a mismatch of shapes and unnecessary gaps.
Nice to see micro brands do well . Cheers Jody
Integrated ends on the rubber strap, would lift the look substantially 🤔👌
Thanks for the review. Too chunky for me and I don't like that small dial. Interesting look though.
Great-looking watch. I like that it has a uniqueness about.
So, does the inner rotating bezel not rotate? Did you forget about it or am I missing something?🤔
Like it or not (I do), it just shows how a really good designer can take inspiration from an existing class of watches but still come up with something new. San Martin could do with this guy.
I don't get why some people want the date to be so well integrated (read: hidden) in the dial - it's a function that's meant to be seen.
This looks really cool
Good looking watch, better on the rubber without a doubt. Happy birthday to you know who.
Now that is beautiful
Very nice watch and review, Jody.
I really like this compressor look. But a little small dial, steel bracelet not adjusted to the case and not adjustable on the wrist leave me unmoved. A Miyota 9015 would have allowed a lower price more in line with the concept of a micro-brand watch. Unless, like Di Renzo, Horizon is targeting a slightly more premium sector.
Kisses from Normandy.😉🇨🇵
