Күн бұрынNEW smaller (35mm ish) version of the very popular Escapement Time King Seiko homage!
Does this new watch hit the sweet spot? Or is it really just the ladies watch they say it is? All this shall be revealed in my review of this little beauty.

Absolutely agree about this watch! The proportions of the already beautiful watch have even benefited from the downsizing. And as always I'm massively blown away by the quality of the handset.

As a fan of Seiko and an owner of a vintage Grand Seiko with a similar design, I saw the thumbnail and instantly thought it was a Seiko homage, then I watched your video and sure enough, it is! A classic design with a beautiful case. I feel that the only other case design that love next to this is the Tag Heuer Carrera. This is amazing. I’ve never heard of these before.

I’ve never had a more uncomfortable strap then the one that came on this one. I’ve got some ostrich straps coming so I’m glad to see it’s going to look the business, very helpful and entertaining. Thank you!

Great review, couldn't agree more with everything you said, the watch is an absolute winner. I love the classy vintage Grandad style but with modern perks 😄There is very little that Escapement Time could do to improve it but I would love to see them add a few dial options with sunburst effect with an "even" layout i.e. numerals at 2-4-6-8-10-12, "quarter" layout i.e. 3-6-9-12 or a "6-12" layout.

Very nice watch and is certainly something I may consider if I need a nice but inexpensive dress watch. I find as someone with a 17 cm wrist that a big watch is fine; I wear divers all the time. Dress watches on the other hand should be small. So many watches now are not in that traditional size or even style. I love the four ticks a second quartz too. Wish we saw more of that.

Nice review mate. It's interesting they've done a 36mm version now. As back when I reviewed the original 38mm, they ended up replacing it with the 40mm. They told me that 38mm was too small and people wanted bigger watches. So, then I got the 40mm and reviewed that one. Perhaps I'll have to try out this 36mm one now too.

It’s called Escapement Time, not elegant time. You can look up what an escapement is on Wikipedia. It’s still a bit on the nose, granted, but not quite in the direction you’re describing. I can kind of see what you mean with the quartz. It does advertise the superior precision associated with quartz though and it would be a little crass to try to pass it off as mechanical. To me, if the movement is pleasing, it’s pleasing, regardless of how it’s achieved.
