Another all black watch, this time from Fortis
Our friends at TimeWerke magazine just sent over this image of the new Fortis B-42 Black Black (yes, that is a clumsy name), a 42 mm watch in a PVD coated titanium case. This was only recently launched in Sep 2009. 2012 pieces will be made.
According to the folks at TimeWerke, the local Fortis distributer, Forte Luxury (Singapore), informally refers to this watch as the Black Knight, a better appellation than Black Black for sure.
While this watch is rather late to the party and coming in at the tail end of a fad that started two or three years back, it is distinguished by the fact that it is legible thanks to the white hands. So even after the fashion fades this will still be readable.
I quite like some of Fortis' quirky watches like the IQ watch with the mock chalkboard dial and the single-hand B-42. While not as unique as the others this Black Black will find its niche.
What do others think?
