    We had the privilege to sit down with Daniel, Michael and Martin, the Austrian trio behind the latest watch brand on the market. Sphaera Watch Co. is a new watch company based in Salzburg, Austria. They are a bunch of craftsmen and watch enthusiasts who are passionate about watchmaking and creating high-quality watches for a reasonable price.
    We also had a hands-on review of their first watch, the Desk Diver, which comes in either the Hesalite or Sapphire version. If you liked the straps shown in this video, you can have a look at our website in more detail via the links attached below.

    Nice enough but the recent British watchmakers event showed what excellent design is being produced in UK. Aside from mainstream brands I've decided to only buy micros from other countries if what they are producing is really special. I don't see that here.

    I’ll be really sorry that this doesn’t make it because I’m fanatical about watches and that’s one of the best I’ve seen coming out of a group of people who’ve just decided to start a watch company, i’m a big fan of Christopher Ward but I will say this. I don’t think they’ve produced anything with that level of originality. If they had come out with that design, there would be 300 videos on UA-cam within a week of it being launched.

    Very industrial design. I wish the screws were aligned but I enjoy the “tooly” aesthetic.

    As I’m discovering the movement is made by the fossil group I still think that’s a fantastic design

    I get what they were trying to achieve, but in my mind if you’re going to use the word diver, even to use their term, desk diver, then there needs to be a rotating bezel. This watch gives me more field watch vibe than a diver.

    I’ve seen a lot of good stuff coming from new people, I know they’re having some of it made out in the east but so what? With a good selita movement and I think they’re only going to get better - these look absolutely fantastic

    I thought you were opening a wet cat food. Haha! The "Desk Diver" on the dial is kind of an unnecessary clutter and also would've been nicer if the the screws on the bezel are uniformly screwed (not the random orientation. not sure though if that's achievable). Nice watch though overall!

    Nice video, and I wish them the best, but this is not for me. The iconic adventure watch is the Rolex Explorer, at 36mm. Why new brands are not making smaller watches is a mystery to me. Your video on the Nivada Gretchen Antarctic shows how much demand there is - they are sold out. All the best.

    Very ambitious to start a new watchbrand. I wish them well. However, I wonder if they checked the market before putting their own ideas into practice. The movement is for many customers unknown. The diameter is too large, should be somewhere around 36-38mm these days for a watch that looks more like a fieldwatch. The screws on the bezel are not aligned, looks cheap. Too much text on the dial. Too expensive, this should never be over Euro1.000,-. The straps look nice.

  • @jamesblonde2271
    @jamesblonde2271 2 місяці тому

    Quite an attractive watch, great finish but the screws are a bit much and the packaging is infuriatingly gimmicky though, also to be competitive it needs to be under a thousand quid. Also in marketing terms I don't think anyone cares about your HR and relationships.
