As someone said, it is a Chopard 1860 homage, but in 39mm…while the Chopard is smaller..also the Chopard has a date window at 6, which in my opinion was a mistake, the watch looks a lot better with no date window. Now you can find the salmon dial in 37 mm but it’s a special “Revolution “ edition with a different guilloche pattern, and that limited edition comes with no date window…So this Farasute is for some the Chopard that they wanted but didn’t exist; a little bigger and no date window, with four color options. The Chopard that had this exact guilloche pattern is now discontinued, btw. I have this silver dial one and it’s fantastic. Also interesting to comment is the big resemblance with another watch, the Philippe Dufour “simplicity”, which is a very admired and beloved grail watch for the top of the top watch lovers, usually sold for hundreds of thousands in auctions, even over a million.
Excellent review of this watch and the brand definitely deserves review. I have one of their more expensive rectangular models which is very accurate and elegant to wear. Very impressed with the brand.
Farasute seems to have popped up from nowhere with some nice designs, and this one is lovely. A really smart, tidy watch with a stunning dial. Shame I don’t have any money! 🤣
Thanks for reviewing, it is a beautiful watch 👍. Always interesting to see the movement and your thoughts on it, the trace looked a bit messy on the timegrapher, but the figures were good. I could be tempted by this one 😁
Hi Zee, great review, i just took delivery of their cronogaph, its absolutely fantastic, as a brand, they are definitely worth keeping an eye on, take care, mate 👍
I got my salmon dial Farasute over a week ago. I didn't want to unwrap it. I finally did. It's nice, unfortunately I bought it before the sale! Oh well.
Regarding the movement. From what you state in the video it seems it seems likely this is a Hangzhou movement of 2000 series IIRC and a similar ones are used exclusively by all the Nomos Lambda homages from Cadisen, Guanqin, Reef Tiger etc etc. It also has a 6 o’clock small seconds. The differences are of course that this one does not have a date nor a power reserve indicator.
@TheWatcherReviews as I understand the basis of the entire Hangzhou 2000 series is a clone of Seiko 7009 movement. But no interchangeable parts they say.
Yeah didn't see any interchangeability except the pawl level and just auxiliary bits and yeah that makes sense. They've done alright with the movement though, made it accurate and the sub seconds
Farasute has splendid models, but I still have difficulties to get used to their name. Maybe this will change with time. I find it pity to use a plastic movement ring, that looks cheap.

Glad you like it!
Great review, Zee. I don't wear a lot of dress watches, but this is absolutely a very nice one. Thank you for sharing 👍
Yeh its definitely a nice piece for alot of people to appreciate.
Interesting review as usual. You always find nice watches.
Glad you like them!
Beautiful, classy and cheap, very similar to Surgess jump hour, mine gets so much attention, great review ❤
This is beautiful. They have several watches that have captured my attention. Hope to see more on your channel also. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Nice looking watch. Cheers!!
That is GORGEOUS

They have an interesting range, this is nice, more dress watches Zee! Like Borman perhaps?
Yeh i can have a look at em bro, this one stood out massively and it's very impressive
Self made clone movement is really in house movement..
@@yusufbest4475 not by them, by hangzhou
I'm going to have to get it, pink dial though!
Just bought the salmon color one. I can't wait to get it!

@rimas.kalpokas yes it may possibly be but the base is definitely a seiko clone, the parts in there are recognisable

Not really a dress watch Guy, but this is Gorgeous And would wear it with a Hoodie & Jeans all day long.
✌️
You tried the presage cocktail time? Blue dial? Bro it's a stunning watch, i sold mine a while ago but should have kept it for the dial
@TheWatcherReviews never tried, but I know it, A great watch. I understand your regret.
Farasute has so many gorgeous watches, in a Breguet style. But hell, the branding is not convenient here. I'd love one with their logo only
Just for awareness, the design is a copy of the Chopard 1860 L.U.C, it looks great but it's not original.
@rossyoung8892 yeah I didnt think it was but thanks for letting us all know !
Which also looks like a dufour simplicity..
I much prefer the Merkur, baltany, ixdao and sugess (jump hour) versions.
I think this white dial really needs thermal blued hands.
Yeh a blued hands version would be nice or just the running secs, you'd lose the brushing on the main hands
A review with open heart surgery... as it should be! Cheers bro, show'em how it's done!
PS Wish all similar hands had this brush "trick"
Yeah that half brushing is elite
