A movement one could honestly say is full of cocks!

It's a nice movement, used by Joshua Shapiro and, probably others. Someone else in the thread pointed to the dial being reminiscent of a Longines open heart model from a decade back, but the watch looks like an L&H to me.

The irony of Odysseus Nautilus = Hektor is too much for my frail constitution. After the excellent implementation of the Georg, L

i imagine looks better in the flesh. not sure about the left ear calling back to the nautilus. was funny that it was on lang's website before today. edit i guess im a doofus
I noticed that left ear!

Ha ha, I see my doofus comment has been a hit! Not even the smallest offense meant! But, I did hope to undercut the inevitable discussion of how every element of a watch is vaguely reminiscent of another watch.
I don't think so.

I think that was just a very slow motion video. Correct me if I'm wrong though!
I'm not sure too
By: Cookies : October 3rd, 2021-15:55
He said 3 Hertz movement...and mentioned ticking in the video (may be a translation). Yes it seems slow-mo now you've mentioned it.
It’s not dead beat.
By: mj23 : October 3rd, 2021-17:18
It’s slow motion. You can see each jump is in between the second markers. If it’s a dead beat, it would jump from one second marker to the next second marker directly.
Balance rate vs. deadbeat seconds
By: pontifex3365 : October 7th, 2021-06:04
Beat rate of the balance (3Hz) has nothing to do with a seconde morte. Don’t mix up the regulating organ with the display of the seconds.
I know that
By: Cookies : October 7th, 2021-09:50
The video had a sound beat tempo. It was earlier on before all the specs came about, so we were speculating. It is easy to talk in hindsight but don’t forget we were speculating before all the specs became available.

I can easily afford this
By: Cookies : October 3rd, 2021-22:57
And many other indies. But cookies is never a snob or a sycophant. I’m nice to everybody, and u are nice guy too. Money cannot buy class, or respect from people. I feel like some other member here I never heard of, is replying with a 2 tier characteristic...
Good detail
By: Cookies : October 3rd, 2021-22:49
Thanks. I hardly know anything about independents. Can’t afford anything in that price range. I’ve spent the equivalent on my house, teddy bears and clothes.=D
To me the opening is more tastefully done
By: mj23 : October 3rd, 2021-17:20
Than this above open heart example. The opening on the LH is actually the same skeleton bridge on the UWD movement and it shows the gears behind it. So I find it a nice touch. Just my two cents
Fair :)
By: als1678 : October 3rd, 2021-16:45
Yes, those Gay Frères bracelets were amazing.
By: als1678 : October 3rd, 2021-17:12
Probably too dressy for a sports watch but they could have definitely done something more interesting than picking up an old IWC/jlc design (admittedly pretty well finished). Looking at the Lang and Heyne Instagram, based on pictures I do find their brace...
Minor details to have fixed
By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : October 3rd, 2021-16:52
Close the hole on the dial Change the hands Then it will be much better.
Movement is jaw dropping
By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : October 4th, 2021-15:37
The overall design pale. Odysseus wanna be.
Unfortunately I’m not attracted to the watch
By: Jurry : October 3rd, 2021-17:16
The dial doesn’t speak to me and the bracelet is to 70’s fir me I realize this is all personal taste and I respect everybody who does like it.
Call me doofus
By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : October 3rd, 2021-17:21
but first glance the whole watch reminds me of Lange Odysseus, at second glance much worse: Frederique Constant open dial??? Who needs this at a german sport ( ??? ) watch. The whole image is something very eclectic what I don’t like at all.

I completely agree as a doofus
By: NT931 : October 4th, 2021-02:44
Love the backside! The front though is rather meh - it doesn't really excite me much.
Forced? I guess they had no choice as a business.
By: Jay (Eire) : October 3rd, 2021-19:44
Would be interested to hear what people think regarding the “why” for this watch. I guess there was little choice from a business perspective. To be clear, if it is a case of selling 40-50 of these a year and doing so allows for the rest of the catalogue ...
Well the allocation remains undecided
By: sham1 : October 4th, 2021-06:37
Sincere Singapore had ordered 30 out of the 99 pieces so they plan to allocate the watches to current customers first.
Thanks Jay.

So L&H isn’t technically an Independent any more.
Someone else needs to jump in here.
By: Jay (Eire) : October 4th, 2021-14:57
But Tempus has “owned” L&H for maybe a decade or so. I don’t know the origin of Tempus however, although I thought I read somewhere that it was formed at the same time as UWD which itself was headed up by Marco Lang (right?). So perhaps Tempus was jus...

But realize that others are in love with it. Such are matters of the heart
i Have generally positive feelings about this watch but.....
By: Spencer Karrington : October 5th, 2021-18:41
Still mixed! I respect that they tried something unique because so many sports watches all look the same lol! However, I feel like they could have gone down the more baroque/classical look like Julien Coudray Sport or Breguet Marine but that would prob be...
