I want to like these and would if they used more symmetrical hands like the Solo.

Meh, not too memorable IMHO.

Meh indeed.
When I read the U2 tie-in, I was expecting something special. I think Bremont missed a massive trick here, they could have done something really unique and cool, instead they just hit the parts bin and the DLC dept - not cool.

I like the looks, but $5k for one? No thanks.

Here’s a side by side comparison to my Alt1tude SE, and another with the Timeless U2/T.

Another watch that would be stellar with different hands.

At least make the hour hand more similar to the Solo hands, so it appears more balanced.

Those Bremont brothers know how to party.
