You get a lot with this watch, most watches in this price point do not come with an open back design or sapphire crystal and they are definitely not limited edition. To top it off the design of the movement is top notch and really awesome to look at.
I purchased this watch because I have a very special connection with Arches. Delicate Arch is beautifully rendered and I love the Sun and full Moon hour indication. The case of the watch is solid and simple; so as not to overpower the beauty of the art. I have two wishes that would make it a Five Star experience for me. Make the full Moon luminous, that would add another level of interaction and play to an already pleasing experience. Second, and major, upgrade the leather of the watch band. I believe it may improve with age - I sure hope so. Ironically, the watch box feels more premium than the band. Please grant my two wishes and I'll purchase the watch again!
Beautiful watch. The art is amazing and telling the time is a bonus. Always enjoy checking the time and reminds me of visiting the actual Arch.
Everything I expected. Incredible watch. Makes me think of my great uncle when I look at it. He retired in New Mecico before I was born and that’s where I always visited him. Awesome views on Sandia peak in the distance. Adobe style house. Southwest decor. This watch takes me back. I know Arches isn’t in New Mexico, but close enough.
The only things I would’ve liked to see would be slightly more visible hour marks, and for them to glow in the dark as well. Maybe instead of hash marks, making them triangular pointing toward the middle of the watch. That’d even be reminiscent of a southwestern sun design.
Also, I’m not sure how it could be done, but It’d be incredible if the Arch’s shadow moved in opposition to the sun/moon like it does naturally. Or, even harder, if there is a way to make the length of day/night change like it actually does through the seasons, that’d be mind blowing. As it is, I love it, and I’m looking forward to the equinoxes so my watch is in sync with space time.
In case you couldn’t tell, I’m a science teacher sooo…that’s why. Lol
I love the art, but would love it even more if it were printed on tin, or enameled on glass.
