slow-watches
This is nothing to do with my timepieces not keeping the correct pace but I stumbled across https://www.slow-watches.com/ just now and thought I'd share with you all.
I like the design, 38mm case will no doubt suit a majority of forum members and Swiss Made available internet only will ring a bell with us all.
Prices at £200 - £230 inc VAT and shipping seems quite attractive.
Anyone tempted?

Re: slow-watches
It is an intriguing concept but I do not like the style of the watch. The customer service is hinting at CWL levels. The movement is quartz http://www.ronda.ch/en/quartz-movements ... er/50524h/.
It is mineral glass rather than sapphire.

Re: slow-watches
I like the idea but I think the case shape is a bit off. The Botta Uno 24 is another watch like this but includes a date window at midnight, which I like more.

Re: slow-watches
There's a similarity in the case design to the CWL C11 which I like, but 38mm is smaller than my preference.

Re: slow-watches
And an ugly crown saver. When I see Military on a watch I don't associate it with being slow and relaxed.

Re: slow-watches
I like the shape of the SloJo or whatever it is, but not the dial so much. Good luck to them though
