Watches - another OCD problem

Hodinkee have a piece about the Pinion bronze watch.

Must have. Will have. BR 01 B-Rocket themed from the B&R B-Rocket Concept Moto. Hands down my favorite B&R yet.

That thing is so fugly that it's cool.

Very nice Cole.

My Mako XL with OGL and a nice pretty background.

And it's smaller sidekick, the BR-o3 B-Rocket. I don't consider them ugly in the least. I think you'd have to see them up close to really view the details and simplicity. I also own two Dogue De Bordeauxs or French Mastiffs, which most think are one the ugliest dogs ever produced. In hindsight, perhaps I do have a taste for things with such repugnant appearances to the point they are considered kinda cool. ;-P
I'm cool with that!

They should use an Allen type screw so it's not as obvious. I hate that shit on a watch that expensive. 15K on a Hublot and that's the level of detail they put into it? No thanks.

That's something I never notice on my own, but as soon as someone else points it out, it drives me nuts.

First world problems indeed . Ha ha
Mega great watch
Anesthetist very classy Seiko there

^It's the sort of detail I wish I was able to remain ignorant of, but will from now on die a little inside seeing the lack of symmetry. :|

Exactly…....
But yeah, idk, I feel like an expensive watch needs to be held to a higher standard. I purchased the watch below, but when it arrived and I saw that the minute hand didnt lay perfectly parallel w/ the face (if you can see it angles up toward the tip a little) ..... I was like " ah hell no" .... I had to return it.... But I do prefer the lug system better, I think there called torx head screws.
Im an architect by trade so maybe that has something to do with it, or I have ocd....

Many watches have an upswept minute hand. I owned that exact same watch and if my memory serves me well it had a similar issue.

Second generation LUC 8HF mock-up.
The original watch was an interesting piece, but it never quite appealed, except for the watch geekery of having an 8 Hz Chronometer certified movement. The mark two has a ceramic and titanium case, and adds a power reserve. It's very light as a consequence, but I don't know how much of the movement was fitted to this one.
I do rather like it, but I'm not sure how well it'd play in a more dressy situation. OK, I rarely wear suits, but a watch that can do it all would be rather appealing.
