I appreciate it's not for everyone. But as watch fans and collectors we are supposed to try new things, have an open mind, and enjoy the journey. You're not rating the watches using the thumbs up and thumbs down, you are scoring the channel and the quality of the video. Please keep that in mind.

I received my raw titanium version of the A-10 yesterday. The packaging was spot on. The build quality is spot on. The visual impact of the watch is quite stunning. I own several very nice watches as well as some relatively unknown start up watches. I was pleasantly surprised by the light weight of the watch. I am a very large human and this watch fits me perfectly. I went with the raw titanium look as I thought it would be more complimentary to my age and lifestyle. Also, being familiar with cerakote from my own manufacturing experience, I was hesitant to wear a watch with a coating that can chip or wear with time. I figured the titanium version would age more gracefully with honest wear and tear. I am testing out the power reserve capacity now. So far, it has kept very good time. The watch is a pleasure to observe and seeing the tourbillon at work is mesmerizing. Good job on the launch.

I've seen producer Michael punting these. Really vulgar for me I'm afraid.

I've been following Hanu Siren and Aventi since the project launch. Hanu is no stranger to the watch business having launched another brand a few years back. From a technical aspect, the Aventi brand is an exciting development in the world of watchmaking. Sapphire crystal cases were previously only reserved for Richard Mille and Hublot. With Aventi, Hanu has made it far more accessible. While I understand that the watch won't be to everyone's taste, I would like suggest that one can at least appreciate the technical aspect of a watch that has and will continue to break barriers in the watch world.

In the words of Dolly Parton “It costs a lot to look this cheap”

Aventi? Well each to his own. For me though, they are beyond dreadful at almost every level! (Sorry!)

Don’t like to “bag” on anyone. But holy-moly is this utter tat! 🤮 Give me a Swatch any day of the week...

A fair review, Damien. As ever I for one appreciate the varied content (although your blro was the best watch in this vid 😉). Your enthusiasm and passion for all watches is what makes your channel one of the best on KZfaq.

Don’t do it. Don’t pollute your collection.

As one who’s been collecting watches for over 30 years. I was very interested in having this one in my collection. I chose to go with clear sapphire A-11. For those that say they rather buy a Rolex I have several, I also have AP, Patek, UN, Panerai, Jacob and others. It’s called watch collecting. I buy what I like and I enjoy the hobby. To each his own. Looking forward to more great things from this company.

Loved the comparison with the Mclaren exhaust! Nicely done :)

i totally respect your opinion, but for me this type of watch is what i got out of a gumball machine when i was 8!

Congratulazione but I thought its a garage remote control.

What Aventi have done is show that Tourbillon are pointless and not that impressive. Omg i agree with Archie

Not sure about the blue strap...it looks like toy watches strap

Not sure quite who these are aimed at. Rappers and Playboy's as you mention would buy RM. Otherwise if a statement piece was the aim you may look at Hublot or AP Skelton if you can stretch that far. These are garish and amateur.

To be completely honest, £1,500 is extremely cheap.... I'd need to be paid a lot more to wear one.

Fantastic customer servive from aventi..i have big wrists around 9 and a quarter when my watch arrived i sent customer service at aventi a photo of it looking slighly tight on the last hole on strap...aventi have custom made me a longer strap free of charge...exemplary service

I'm afraid the only avent I'd wear one of these too is my death

You'd have to pay me $10000 to wear one 😂😂

Royal blue looks sick

Damien you were, hopefully still are, the last bastion of taste and decorum on youtube, I couldn't possibly wear something that looks like it's come out of a giant kinder egg

The strap looks like it’s been taken directly from a Swatch!

Love the watch! i had the pleasure to had them all on my wrist as i met Ryan as well and the quality is outstanding.. i honestly think this watch and brand will go far.. im tired of the rolex, ap and patek game.. even worst Richard is just stupid price.. this watch is beautiful and attainable. i suggest you guys give it a try! ppl see it and ask me if i paid 100k plus.. is that beautiful!

Poor aventi, they are just trying their best but people keep shitting on their head lol The struggle of a 20 something-year-old trying to make it! I know how it feels guys, cause I'm in that period too! I like the watch, people are willing to pay a lot for fake richard mille I don't see why these people won't consider aventi. True it's not rolex glory and all but that's the whole point of the watch. Innovation and affordability. As someone who's 23 and dream to own a richard mille, this watch is a superb alternative. I currently own an explorer 2 and datejust, I'll consider this as my next watch if I have the budget.

The only selling point of these watches is that they contain a tourbillon. The rest? Nahh And what about when it needs to get a service? Will it be as expensive as the watch itself? If it does it basically makes the watch a disposable good. Also, “disrupting the industry” is a meme.

@ Damian, Surely you wouldn't actually wear one of these would you? Your collection reflects understanding of 1. What is a quality time piece, and 2. Lets be honest, comfort with a certain level of wealth. Yes a Sapphire case containing a tourbillon at this price is impressive. But it's an impressive example of what can be achieved in China through well honed business savy and hard negotiation. Beyond that, I'm afraid, it leaves me flat.

At least if you buy one nobody will think it's a fake.

I think everyone has already said all that can be said for them.. but like all your videos, it was informative.

Another nice video but not a watch for me, it looks like something you’d win at a fairground, I’d prefer a goldfish please!

The blue sapphire one looks very good but i cant stand how massive it is, almost unwearable.

Nop,sorry,they look ugly and cheap. I would not buy even for 500 pounds.

When is the Dubai Expat review coming?

No sorry, I have no problem with HK watch movements, new sapphire case manufacturing techniques, or new independent watch companies taking on the giants, that's all good. But these watches are the wrong size and shape for me, and just look budget priced! They don't even look like a £1000 purchase. I have seen all the positive reviews inc. PM and PT, but they are not for me. You can buy a good watch for £2k and a great watch for £10k

Great review. Can't see them taking the watch industry by storm but its got people talking so good on'um.

Awful. Frankenstein of horology....

True its a 'marmite' watch though give credit where it's due in that they are making sapphire watches which are within reach to some apart from just millionaires! Watch snobbery is ironic as If they made same movement in Swiss factory and charged ten times more they would get more positive feedback?

Dear god no!

I wouldn't be worried or concerned with a Chinese movement. I have a swiss ETA movement in a watch atm which is not impressing me. I think the price point is amazing on these Aventi watches and yes, its good that the industry gets a shake up from time to time but I think the guys at Aventi will have to tone down the looks and downsize on some models just to increase interest and sales. I couldnt wear one, simply because my wrist size is not large enough, 44mm is the max for me but fair play to the Aventi guys.

Don't jump on this commercial bandwagon, this is the first episode I skioord..

I’m not keen on either piece, but I think they are interesting and outside the box. I would add one to the collection, but probably wouldn’t wear it. Getting a tourbillion for this sort of money is fantastic and hopefully they will refine their designs and package the movement in a classier case. I wish them all the best and it will be interesting to see what they do next.

Some interesting elements in these. The end-result is quite horrible. Good to have an open mind though :-)

Great video as always. Quality is fantastic. (Footage not watch 😂!) Not yet cup of tea, but interesting to learn about the brand.

certain sellers of the higher end fakes sell real Chinese tourbillions inside a replica for £700, they seem a bit on the chunky side to me.

They hurt my eyes

What’s that noise you hear when you watch Family Fortunes ?? It’s a big NO from me !! Sorry.

Love the Pepsi Damian. Beautiful watch.

Well. It's not for me (& nor is Richard Mille), but I appreciate the variety on this channel, & the fact that you gave it a serious review.

Looking forward to getting my a10. Thankfully got it via Indiegogo.

Looks like a swatch prototype reject type thing 🤔

Must find something positive to say. Got it: If Seiko did the burnt titanium finish on a watch, I'd buy one. I do like that finish, even if the watch does absolutely nothing for me.

Great Review of some rather gopping watches. All in favour of shaking up the industry, especially price points but they are so tacky. Look very similar to fake Richard Millies you can purchase from a seller I know based on talamanca beach.

I enjoyed the video, Damian, but wow these are really not my cup of tea!

“Subtle & classy” 😂

A fool and their money as they say

I have no qualms in purchasing and owning a Made in China product. This is a tourbillon with +/- 15 seconds accuracy a day is quite shady. What is the service interval and warranty for this new brand? Are there any service centres?

These Aventi watches are not for me ! Pepsi is a beauty though 😍

V interesting vid, something different but huge, they should make a wall clock in that style, i think that would be cool

Looks like the watch homer Simpson would design

why couldn't they put that tourbillon in something that actually looks nice? i do not understand this brand. gross

I just watched the video Damian and I appreciate the impartiality. I’ve heard Aventi like to put words in the mouths of reviewers and the guy you met actually appears in a lot of the other review videos. You’re a successful businessman so I’m sure you can tell when someone’s on to something and you’re not just jumping on a bandwagon. Sometimes I feel that other channels would flog us any old crap to line their own pockets.

Aventi would you guys create a different type of case more conservative and smaller with the same movement and sapphire? I think that would be more appealing to traditional collectors.

What car does this watch pair with? Perhaps a G63 with too big chrome wheels and too dark tinting on the windows. I agree that it is a statement piece, but I think it might be going a bit far to say that it gives something of the Richard Mille ownership experience. An RM on your wrist opens doors for you (there's an excellent article on The Rake about this), partly because they are so incredibly expensive. The Aventi's, however, feel to me as though they are designed to try to look more expensive than they are. I could stomach the design more if they didn't bother with the tourbillion and instead put more attention into better finishing and weren't trying so hard to look outlandish. Certainly the Aventi would be a conversation starter, but it does seem possible that those conversations would start with "did you forget to wear your glasses when you bought that thing?" ;-) Also, thank you for sticking to your usual sponsors and not asking for sponsorship from Aventi. It's a refreshing approach as it feels like we get a far more authentic insight into your take on the watch rather than what the sponsors PR department "asked" you to think.

If it was pink I be all over it!!!!!!!🤣👍🏼

I have no problem with the Chinese movement provided it’s accurate but I like my watches to be subtle and stylish, the Pepsi bezel is a step too far for my taste so this watch is a definite no from me but great video as always. thanks

send one to The Dubai Expat Aventi guys

Very good video 👍👍👍

I've never heard of Aventi but they are not really my cup of tea in this iteration. Quite like the yellow version the dimensions are huge, though. Also I personally do not see the appeal of tourbillions regardless the price. Still an interesting and fair video

Big enough to be a clock!

A matter of taste. Might as well wear a traffic light on your wrist when you crave attention. Hopefully Aventi come out with nicer watches and shake up the Swiss. Till then we stick with Rolex and G -shock

these are absolutely hideous

I really do not get it: you have so many beautiful watches and you push this. It may not be a paid commercial but it sounds way worse than one, and I am not sure it can convince anybody of the need of a dreadful-looking watch with a tourbillon of questionable quality for the price of a good Swiss watch. Memorigin and other Hong Kong brands have made way-better-looking tourbillon watches in this price range for quite a while and they have not disrupted anything in the watch industry.

Definite marmite at the moment, if they start producing stainless steel with leather and jubilee straps then they will appeal more to the masses. I’m with you `Damian, it’s an event piece rather than an every day.....

Great video To the OMG its so ugly type- I've made many millions investing in crypto a disruptive tech. No biggie right? The all in initial investment less than 25K. I am more than a bit amused by people who think- I don't like X so it sucks. To be clear I am not a fan of it but I dig someone made it. I am glad people are coming in and pushing boundaries of the watch world. Guess what you can sit on your couch watching the world go by and complain that everyone has more and better than you or you can keep your brain. Subscribed because you are the typical frail little fellas that normally review watches.

Come on because of this hype train with watch I don't watch Producer Michael now you I guess you just lost one sub

Hmm no, don’t get it, at any price. Looks garish. That blue one looks terrible, sorry 😕 You’re spot on though with not liking the video because you don’t like the watch. That’s massively missing the point.

How?? Make it in a sweatshop in China with cheap labor and even cheaper parts.

uggg the tiny 2 top screws in that movement are damage and flaking off timestamp 1;25 and if keep looking the bottom screw very top is chip too makes you wonder how only 2k just saying

Essentially an Invicta with a higher price.

No. No. No. No. Sorry; although I like the disruptive thought, but aestetically they’re horrible abominations the lot of them. Just no!

Seems like Aventi is as likely to cause anger and rage-filled comments among the watch community as a $6,000 travel clock. Personally I'd still rather take the travel clock.

I don’t like these pieces, love the review but I also love what these guys are doing by disrupting the market and for that I applaud them. Will be interesting to see what they do next.

Insane value? The movement costs 250 dollars, in bulk it costs 200, you can find it in many chinese watches... What r you even talking about bruv

Ah youtubers being influenced to hype crap watches, it never gets old. Hideous.

terrible "watches", they disrupt nothing :))

🤮

What’s going on here ? Another very disappointing video in three weeks. This Avanti thing looks like an expensive piece of s..t. If things don’t quickly improve, I will consider unsubscribing.

A saw a Chinese Tourbillon in an Invicta advertised for about $550. So $2,000 for a Tourbillon isn’t a major accomplishment. By the way I would never buy the Invicta anyway

No matter how cheap - Still looks ugly

shit watches,,,all marketing no trousers...RM hold their value these aventi pos will not

I don’t like their watches, but I am glad they show the dumb people that a watch ain’t worth paying more then 10K.
