For me the Apiar watches aren’t really about them as watches, but it was about their technology and manufacturing process. They had a real time video showing the cases being 3D printed and plenty of cases on show in various stages of finish, from the raw printed case up to the finished watch.timepieces_and_bags wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2024 12:12 amI love the astronaut!

They 3D print their cases and buckles in titanium and they really are something special. They are hoping to bring their prices down as they improve their manufacturing process and these are a brand I’ll be watching with interest.
Their actual designs are a little bit out there for me to actually want to own one just yet, but I really like what they are doing. It’s something completely different and the engineer in me finds their manufacturing process really fascinating.
They explained that dial on the watch is concave and the tether that holds the astronaut in place is showing him being pulled down into some sort of vortex with him being sucked out the other side. He also appears on the rotor having been passed through. I’m not sure of the thought process that went into that idea.
