New mechanical story - Furlan Marri
For those of you who have been interested in this new micro brand, Furlan Marri is now coming out with its first mechanical piece. It will be available in coming days as per their website. And anyone interested should be able to get one. I suspect this is their first in a long line of planned mechanical pieces along the way, with likely different color ways , for those not enamored by the black sector dial. It’s a nice piece, but with some aesthetic overlap with other brands e.g. Baltic. Still, very cool lugs, and with curved vs. straight strap end options.
Good luck to them.

New mechanical story - Furlan Marri
For those of you who have been interested in this new micro brand, Furlan Marri is now coming out with its first mechanical piece. It will be available in coming days as per their website. And anyone interested should be able to get one. I suspect this is...
Thanks for the heads-up!
There is also a black strap option. But, I really like that brown strap combo! ...
I just saw this detail . . .
You get both straps. The black is curved while the brown is straight. There are two holes in the lugs to allow you a choice! ...
This one is not talking to me the way the chrono did
Maybe other dial colors will? ...
Agreed. If other dial color(s) and everything else being equal, it would likely be an all around favorite.
I guess black dial was the ‘safest’ way for them to start.
Thank you, Mohannad. Even in that lighting it actually looks very attractive 👌🏼
What did you think of it in person?
The n in furlan
is bisected by the sector line? :O Love the lugs but might stick to my tasti tondi for now...especially at 3x the price and not even a display for that nice movement! I understand for the mechaquartz but looks like they tried to make it nice this time.
+1 I was surprised by the closed back as well…
but I’m sure they had their reasons. Cost maybe? Not sure.
It's strange
Their tasti tondi was well designed enough for me to overlook the one flaw - the 24 hr subdial - and I can't name a single aspect they can improve on in terms of design and looks, totally happy with it. But the more I look at this one the more I feel like...
Early birds
Faster than light.😎. Sorry IWC, I prefer the new one in another color way. I am not a chronograph watch collector. Everybody. Black dialed watches are my taboo. I waited when FM comes up with a mechanical watch without bells and wristlets. But my program ...
For the Omega Snoopy straps, Jean Rousseau was the manufacturer of the original…
and you can order similar from them. There is a minor difference, I remember them saying when I asked, but it is still a very good strap. I have a black one with white stitching. I hope that helps.
On the whole it’s a very nice follow up to the first release.
But I cannot unsee that sector line running through the “n” of “Furlan”. If that works for FM then I hope this is their last sector dial.
The idea is nice, but…
… other than with their Mecaquartz chronographs this time aesthetics don’t look harmonious to me. The otherwise beautifully shaped lugs are just too large. Cheers Henrik
