AuHavrePro's latest wristshots, though playfully self-deprecating about their 'boring' repetition, offer a fascinating glimpse into the ownership experience of a truly distinctive independent timepiece. This thread captures the anticipation of a strap change and the unique connection an owner develops with a watch that stands apart from the mainstream. AuHavrePro's insights into the watch's character and public reception are particularly valuable.

I know I'm being incredibly boring with yet another small set of wristshots with the same strap, but it turned out my clock shop was closed for the holidays this entire time, and the owner is only opening again tomorrow. I don't know if I'll have enough time to get it done tomorrow, but I'll have the strap changed by Friday afternoon at the latest. In the meantime.... biggrin

I love the way this watch has a great yet discreet presence on the wrist. And the originality of the design is really unique. Best, Emmanuel

It's easily among the three most unique watches I will ever own. It's only potential 'competition' down the line would be an Urwerk or a VC Mercator, a couple of my all-time grail pieces.... Thank you so much for looking and chiming in Emmanuel. Cheers, Filip

As a matter of interest, have you had anyone ask you about the watch given its distinctive styling? Maybe in this age of smart watches of all shapes and sizes, normal people (i.e. not WIS!) don't pay any attention to other people's watches. All the best, Jon

That is such a striking case. Extreme cool factor. I'm eager to see the grey strap pics. M4

so far no! But, admittedly, I've been wearing long sleeves the entire time, so it's been sitting under a cuff almost all the time.... Will update once I wear it openly among random people!....
