(One of...) the local micros is releasing some new pieces. No complete details yet, but it seems to be a titanium case, 40mmx48mm, miyota (3 hander - ~$650) and seiko (world timer ~$750) powered. Not bad! I want to like the 3 hander, until I realize how much it resembles a IWC....

Couple of pics grabbed from twitter/insta:

I like the 3 hander better, as I find most "world timers" way too busy. Anyway, cool to see someone nearby doing stuff.

FWIW, the website is live with these now, with more pics and some pre-order pricing info.

Local news did a puff piece on this brand. I'm glad to see him getting some more publicity!

I like that WT quite a bit but the three hander is a miss for me. The numerals are off to my eye. But matter of taste of course.

Yeah I prefer the 3 hander (the WT seems really busy to me with the cities on the bezel...most of this stye do though), but wish they'd lumed the numerals, not just the hour hash marks. Its kind of a IWC meets bremont case meets something else :stir:

So not perfect for me, but cool to see someone local doing something.
