Dan Henry's 1972 Alarm Chronograph

[AtomicTom]

Here is one for all of you Dan Henry fans, and everyone else too guys.

The new 1972 Alarm Chronograph is limited to 28 numbered watches made
for the Wind-Up Watch Show. But will have a regular run of 1,972 too. With
details including a 41mm stainless steel case, or PVD steel case, 100m WR,
sapphire crystal, black dials with eye-catching accents, along with luminous
markers, and hands, a quartz movement, and nice bracelet.

Have a couple pictures...

I got to see it and the silver version at Wind Up. They were really nice and the alarm worked great.

More of an Orfina/Porsche Design ripoff to my eyes...

Yes, very similar to the 144 too:



But even closer to the PD.

So, it's a simultaneous ripoff of multiple watches. Are some of those ripoff's as well then? I'm always curious where the line is drawn for some folks.

I think the Worn & Worn article intro does a nice job of setting the stage for these: https://wornandwound.com/first-look-dan ... ronograph/ . No longer produced by anyone today and it's very clear that this isn't an original idea.

Personally I like the black one, not sure I'd buy it or that it would stick if I did

Any preference between the two? PVD looked well applied?

I like the black one, but always wonder how that bracelet would look after a few months of wearing it ... probably scratched all to hell

Honestly no idea. Since it is according to how the manufacture did the black coating. On know on the Aegir I had the black finish took a beating with no issues.

Yeah, that makes sense. Most of my bracelets show a lot of scratches and marks though two of them are Ti so probably softer. I'd be worried, still at $350 new and who knows what used, I may still pick one up if I get a chance to check it out. Not a lot of money

[ericf4]

anyone know what the alarm sounds like? Is it a beeping i presume?

I didn't do a video of it but it was pretty loud.
