No idea on when these will launch or pricing, but gorgeous nonetheless.

Here's the original French copy, followed by the translation:

Antoine Tavan 1805, Grande Lune précision exact sur 3 ans, ensuite on avance 1 dent, soit 24 heures.
Email Grand Feu/cuivre. Montre 100% artisanale

Antoine Tavan 1805, Grand Moon precise accuracy over 3 years, then advance 1 tooth, or 24 hours.
Enamel Grand Fire/Copper. 100% artisan watch

I wish more companies would do the big moon, especially now that it appears Chris Ward no longer produces theirs. Like this white one, but maybe a bit too busy overall for me to add.

I love everything about that watch except the star on the end of the hands. Just a bit too whimsical for what I think would go with the watch. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Nice looking watch, however his full throated embracing and promotion of said conspiracy theories will make me spend my dollars elsewhere.

So I wasn't a fan of the last colorful G Shock but I kind of love this one (except for the price). Available for pre-order now.

https://www.gshock.com/watches/limited- ... gb2000ph2a?

Image

Image
The MTGB2000PH-2A is a special model based on the carbon MTGB2000, with a Blue Phoenix-themed design. . .

The bezel and the case have separate structures. The double rainbow IP finish of the bezel gives it a two-tone pattern with horizontal gradation, while the metal frame of the case has vertical gradation, which creates the image of a crossed line. The rainbow IP of this model creates distinctively unique color patterns for each watch. The multi-coloring of the face matches the colors of the bezel and case, while the navy blue semi-transparent band creates a further touch of elegance.
Bluetooth, multiband 6, etc. $1100 :(
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Does it come equipped with an amp and oversized subwoofers?
Or are those aftermarket?

I initially read that as "one strap too far" lol I had to read again.

I think I like it...the color pop of the date wheel is a nice touch.

Normally I like off-beat designs, but if there ever was a watch that was a try-hard, or doing too many things all at once, this is it.

Maybe if I stare at it longer I can figure out what the heck they're attempting.

I stand by my stance of disliking external bezels, but that one is fun.

It's reportedly inspired by sneaker designs, which, to me at least, often suffer from "having too many things all at once"! I am a big fan of minimalist sneakers so when Common Projects first came onto the scene, I was quite pleasantly surprised. Now more brands are doing the same thing.

I see an increasing number of new releases incorporating colors and modern design cues that are more likely to appeal to a more youthful audience (when it comes to strapping a watch to your wrist youth is a condition of the mind) than your more typical staid WIS crowd. Whoops!

With consideration to personal preferences and tastes, it's great to see horology (design, tech, materials) evolving at a faster pace.
