This is a modern marvel! Its all about the dead-seconds: look at that lovely, big yellow seconds-hand against a muted, minimalist background. Conservative (37mm) straight edged DLC case; very plain hands; Bauhaus indices; dark grey markers and hands on m...

I too have a few watches made from the technical wizards from Japan. These wondrous creations make use of a circuit and currents to display the time in digits. Hands in watches are so 18th century! Identical to the Lange Zeitwerk!

"Do away with the barrel, mainspring, hairspring and the pesky balance wheel!" Wow! that's quite smart indeed......am I blonde or does this definition of a watch movement sound like "Q" ? I mean Q for.........Qua.......lity?;) Nice minimalist design, alth...

Don't kick yourself - kick me. but not when I am walking down flights of stairs with a sack of garbage in each hand - but no watches or batteries included! You may like to check out my recent update about the HTO to a sub-thread from almost a year ago fro...

this too could become "my kind of watch". Apart from that, your writing is --- absolutely priceless! :) amerix

What's the quality like?

Hi pplater, I get the impression you like the watch (duh!). Ronda quartz movements are as reliable as anything, they absolutely nailed the styling (if you like that sort of thing), and at ~$200 AUD the price is certainly right. But can you speak a little ...
