Wider strap?
I have an irrational inability to wear a watch without a properly fitted - in width terms - strap. Just hate it if there is a gap between the edge of the strap and the lug ( told you it was irrational!) Not sure the lugs would be a problem with a better fitting strap.
New MIH Gaïa.
Very different look, compared to its elder brother, but still quite appealing. I like the blue shade they have chosen for the dial. 39 mm SS case. Powered by a Sellita SW400-1 automatic movement. Vte ...
I like the dial but ...
I’m just not sure about the lugs. They don’t match the style of the watch.
My thoughts too, they look quite bulky.
I like tho think that with a 39 mm case, those lugs won't be too wide. Vte
In design terms...
The designers made a big mistake. They need to either change the lugs to be in harmony with the dial case and crown or keep the lugs and have a cushion case. Why didn’t they check with us first ;-))

Like the design a lot but also not a hughe fan of those lugs .
Think i need to see it in person first
I'm reading along thinking I might have to disagree with some of these good folks
regarding the out of place looking lugs... but you beat me to it! To me there is something compelling about how they don't seem to sylistically fit the rest of the watch. And usually a strap that doesn't "fill" looks weird too but that somehow also works ...
The unusual lugs are a design statement - as the case and dial as well.
I would like to see how the „wandering hours“ really look on this watch... 💡😉
Mixed feelings on this, having had an MIH from the beginning...
Its an intriguing design, with those polarizing lugs and on the back, the tiny useless window almost like before. They are also playing "We will only make 200" game which is a bit annoying - before they said "We'll just make them til people stop buying th...
A nice explanation of the design inspirations come from the Quill & Pad site : The design of this watch was crafted by Atelier XJC, a La Chaux-de-Fonds design studio specialized in art direc
The looks of the new MIH watch have everything to do with the place in which it was created: its main design inspiration comes from the MIH museum building itself, a Brutalist concrete edifice with subterranean structure designed by Georges-Jacques Haefel...
