Surprised, in a good way

I had no expectations, when I’ve ordered the watch, especially at that relatively low price point. I just fell in love of the idea of it.
The watch itself is a classical type of watch, feeling almost slim compared to let’s say a smart watch. Wich is a good thing for me. The leather strap is pretty solid, almost as thick as the watch itself and feels well made, beautiful stitched.
Reading the time backwards I found to be surprisingly easy. Just setting the time while watching a traditional watch was kind of funny.
Time will tell about scratch resistance and stuff but I really like it and would recommend it. And yes, you can hear the clockwork when you listen closely, love it
