All said and done, I like this watch for its embellished simplicity. It now has a strap (after three attempts) that does the trick for me.

Key Points from the Discussion

The Laine Gelidus 2 offers a compelling blend of traditional watchmaking, industrial design, and refined finishing, all at an accessible price point. Its Unitas movement provides old-world charm, while the chunky case and applied Breguet numerals add distinct character.
The finishing on both the dial and movement, combined with its audible tick-tock, contributes significantly to the watch's appeal, evoking a sense of nostalgia.
The Laine Gelidus 2's matte dial and beautifully finished movement are particularly appealing features, making the watch equally impressive from both the front and back.

Thanks. Doubling down on the same corner of the colour spectrum worked; the contrast happening through textures this time.

I agree. Laine has moved to another level with the G3. It's great to see the progression, and all the classicism hardwired into the designs too.

Appreciated. In this instance, it was texture rather than colour that I wanted to use to deliver contrast. I now also have a 'green-not green' ensemble to remember 2021 by.
