Interesting observation
I was in a noisy Boutique and didn't pick up on the sound.
But actually I like the sound of ticking mechanical watches. It's rather soothing and therapeutic. Although my wife has complained in the past about a ticking pocket watch on our bedside table. Some watches, like the F.P.Journe tourbillon, are really quite loud and you can hear it on your wrist.
Do you find the Uniclo escapement relatively loud?

Hublot Big Bang King Power Unico
The Hublot Big Bang King Power Unico ... at least I think thats what it is I wandered into a Hublot Boutique and pointed at the watch that caught my eye. I am not a big watch guy but I was interested to know if I could carry off a 48mm watch (and one...
Good Points, Looks Good

These are large, dominating watches ...

A Similar Impression
Hi Andrew, My impression of the UNICO has been similar to yours. On the one hand, it's true that the feel is what you describe as notchy. The pushers definitely won't win any prizes for supple engagement, but I will note that the start, stop, and reset fu...
Nice, honest review, Andrew!
... and welcome to Hublot forum :-) Thanks for sharing your experience with King Power Unico. Yes, it doesn't "wear" big and it agrees with my wrist, unlike other brands' BIG ones. Thanks again! Best, Ken
Nice!
Nice review Andrew, I actually am a big fan if this model even though I am not normally a fan of gold watches. I think it is the colour of the King Gold and the combination with the darke skeletonised dial, all very cool looking. I have considered getting...
Very nice watch but...
The sound may drive you crazy. Especially if there is no sound in the background to mask the loud ticking.
