Brandon Hoglund (aka @bhoglund) of Höglund & Sons has released a Mark II of their chronograph, now featuring a mechanical movement via Kickstarter. Their previous campaign was successful and the Mark I did get posted several times on the main deals thread following.
Kickstarter pricing is $249
Regular price will be $349
Estimated delivery is April 2022
Following the success of the Höglund & Sons Mark I Chronograph on Kickstarter, I wanted to create a fully mechanical version of this mecha-quartz chronograph. Thus, the Höglund & Sons Mark II Mechanical Chronograph was born. Like the Mark I, the Mark II incorporates features from some of my favorite features out of the over 500 watches I have reviewed on my watch review YouTube channel, WatchesOnYou. One such feature that holds a personal significance to me is the pulsometer scale. As a current first year medical student, I wanted to incorporate a unique feature related to my career aspirations to become a physician. Given that I regularly practice taking pulses on patients, I thought that including a pulsometer scale on the dial of the Mark II would both make this task easier and serve to further differentiate this watch from other chronographs which more commonly have tachymeter scales. I hope you enjoy the unique features that this watch offers and please reach out to me if you have any questions.
The Mark II is available in three colorways - White Panda, Reverse Panda, and Blue/Black

Glad to see the switch to white hands on the black sub dials, still a miss with the white sub dials silver hands.
