Ive seen this on a few websites. Nice colour. I just read a bit and it's a hybrid, part quartz, part automatic. But the dial texture is constructed of Boss logos. Shades of the CW 12. Mike should sue them

Re: Boss Watch - Shades of CW
^^^^ Innovative Hybrid movement? Won't that be a Seiko Kinetic? I had one 20 years ago. 
As for the dial? Looks like the perforations on a tea bag. I don't think CW has anything to be worried about.

Re: Boss Watch - Shades of CW
The article’s opening gambit…
One hesitates to judge on these things alone, but it would be tempting.They say you can tell a lot about a man by his shoes. But for our money, what’s on his wrist is far more revealing.

Re: Boss Watch - Shades of CW
I would be really surprised if it wasn't a Seiko, Epson or Citizen movement of some kind. The glommed stuff from all over the place. The hands say Omega for sure. I can see a little Christopher Ward influence although not directly.

Not sure that throwing stones is a wise hobby for people who live in glass houses ...Mike should sue them
As for the rest, and the rather "advertorial" tone of the article: it's a £349 watch from a fashion brand. Does that help manage expectations?
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left
Re: Boss Watch - Shades of CW
I was referring to the dial being constructed of logos. CW did that first. I hope.exHowfener wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:33 pmNot sure that throwing stones is a wise hobby for people who live in glass houses ...Mike should sue them

Re: Boss Watch - Shades of CW
I fail to see how the perforations on the dial of the Bossmatic, which look like the perforations on a tea bag to me, bear any resemblance to the 'BOSS' logo.
It's just some kind of anodyne pattern.

Re: Boss Watch - Shades of CW
Looking closely, perhaps it is meant to be a tessellation of capital Bs??

Re: Boss Watch - Shades of CW
I expect Rolex will have a tessellation of coronets soon.
Escher would have been in his element.

Re: Boss Watch - Shades of CW
Well, not exactly a tessellation, but Omega has repeating patterns of 007 and little guns. I’m told they even appeal to grown-ups.
