Let me jump on the bandwagon here.  Like Christian I bought this for my bday for myself. The watch was released two days after my birthday but I took so long contemplating on whether to pull the trigger that they sold out before I could decide πŸ˜‚

On a whim I signed up for the waiting list on the H-shop website and less than 24-hours later was sent an email that one piece became available. This time I didn’t hesitate and the rest is history as they say.

First impressions are that 1) It is light! Will not get your wrist fatigued wearing this one! 2) it’s much smaller in person than the 39 mm diameter would lead you to believe 3) the rotor spins very loudly like the movement in my JLC TT Geophysic. Could it be a combination of ceramic ball bearings in the winding rotor and the light case?  Overall a great design.  I love it.
