I have yet to see the watch live. Don't know if there´s prototype yet. However...
...I am the owner of the cool Hard Black Linde Werdelin that was introduced last year in 22 pieces. Very solid pencil gray DLC coating. I pimped it with the thick black croc. This sports a normal ETA machine though. No haute horlogerie involved in this watch. These watches are meant to be fitted with an extern digital instrument. There are two of these, Land Instrument and Sea-Instrument. Fist one for skiing, second for diving. Don't have that part though (haven' been skiing for 8 years and afraid of deep waters, hahahaha).
Not bad !
I tried watches from this brand a few years ago in Madrid and was surprised by the finishings of the dial and of the bezel. The concept was interesting too.

Nice looking watch..............
I have to say that I like the look of it.
It appears to be a very tough & rugged timepiece.

Looks like a seriously rugged watch. I'd like to see it in person. I was hoping with Svend Andersen on board to work on the movement we might also see some blue gold touches on this piece! 
Cheers,

I don't even see how this is close to the Wyler!
Wyler does not do Skeletonized cases? Do they?
Here a link to the earlier Trigon edition, from which the Spidolite design has evolved from.

Very cool
...and it will be very interesting to see the movement, too.
The dial also puts me in mind of Sarpaneva a bit -- quite attractive to my eye!
Best,
