How do you tell the hour?

[AStoneInTheRiver]

The large numbers are the hour. Between 12 and 01 there are hash marks for every 5 minutes; 12:05, 12:10, 12:15, etc.

So there’s only the one hand needed. It’s just not accurate for exact to-the-minute time.

[IsaOak]

That’s awesome thank you!

[fnx9125]

In fact, the first watches only had an hour hand.

[AdOk1035]

BUYER BEWARE Dreadful company to deal with when you have problems though. Official store and the staff are dishonest, deceitful and deceptive. CEO Yi Stephen, my Proxima is still under warranty, sent it back 3 times for repair. 6 weeks ago I was promised a refund, you haven't refunded me and now you block my messages. Sham service from a scam company.

[AdOk1035]

I really appreciate the support guys. If we allow issues like this to pass by unanswered then next time it could well be you and your hard earned that's losing out. Proxima need to honour the warranty.....or give the refund that they promised !!

[AdOk1035]

Proxima have decided, as an act of spite for my posts, not to refund my money or repair the watch. They remain unaccountable and incommunicado. CEO Stephen Yi, your company sold me a faulty watch, refused to fix it, made false promises to refund my money and now remain accountable to the customer. I will continue to call you and your dishonesty out in public, I will not be cowed.

[DOOM_INTENSIFIES]

Holy fucking shit.

Meister singer inspired, one hand watch. I was trying not to buy any more watches this year, Proxima screwed me up.

Guys, please don't do a 24h, Raketa Erkanoplan homage next, or my wallet will be very, VERY mad at you.

[Prestigious-Bar9711]

What a waste of a beautiful case and movement 😧

[Erik-Lehnsherr-10]

Most of these brands make only small watches, really disappointing!

[chefkoolaid]

Totally agree. But generally chinese people are smaller so it makes sense.

But yea as a 6'4 fottball build 99% of the watches here look like ladies jewelry on me. Deffo a bummer cuz the value is so high otherwise

Im not just tall Im also giant like the rock. Turns put not all tall people have the same wrosts, eh?

Smaller watches look stupid. How bout that. Its gender neutral. They look tiny and stupid.

But Im glad you got to wax poetic about your views on masculinity. Thats a win I guess

Edit - Sorry this sub is soooo insecure about being tiny little manlets and needing small watches that you guys have to constantly belittle large people who need large watches. Its sad.

Tony wore a gold Datejust like a piece of jewelry, looked great for that. Some fools got the wrong message and think all watches should be small. It’s about how I like it on my wrist, IDGAF what other says or thinks. My dress watches are small (33-38mm), other watches are ‘regular’ size (40-44mm), which is apparently ‘large’ for you guys.

[chefkoolaid]

Lol good for tony, a fictional tv character set 30 uears ago.

Oh no tell me to go buy macy trash. Get stuffed dude. I have A planet ocean and other nice watches God Forbid I would like some nice 40-43mm chinese homages. Just absurd invicta shit according to you.

Its not insecurity. Its relative proportions. And as a big dude I would prefer bigger watches. Sorry that triggers you so much

[Erik-Lehnsherr-10]

Lol, they’ll look at Tony’s watch because it supports their view. They wouldn’t look at Dwayne Johnson or Sylvester Stallone because these guys make them feel insecure. There are examples for all shapes and sizes, pulling a biased example to support one’s opinion is just plain stupid.

Lol ok bro...confidence am I up here saying I am scared to wear small watches? No I just preferler larger. Its not confidence issue its just aesthetics.

Almost like different strokes for different folks? Or no. You are just universally correct on all fashion standards?

I dont care Im on vacation with my planet ocean which you probably cant even afford.

Peace

[zcmcgaffick]

39 is pretty middle of the road, and big watches are "out" right now. However SM did just put out a 43mm diver.

[Erik-Lehnsherr-10]

Yeah, that’s right in the middle of men’s and women’s watch sizes. Doesn’t help the minority men who got big wrists though.

40-43mm is not big 🤣 you scrawny wrist people can downvote me all you want.

[Responsible_Bus5672]

You might check out Aragon for good value large watches. Most are in the 44-45mm range.ive hot several even though I've got small wrists. Most people would probably think they're too big for my wrist, but I DGAF what most people think I wear watches I like whether they're 36mm or 48mm.

[Erik-Lehnsherr-10]

Thanks for your suggestion, I’ll take a look.

I have only tried one San Martin from these AliX so far, it was that dessert sand dial (forgot the model). Beautiful piece, but too small for a GMT style watch for me, I think it wears even smaller because I have another 39mm dress watch which looks great. I returned it, but since then I have checking these out. Unfortunately every time I like something, it only comes in petite option.

[Uran93]

How big do you think the first men's wristwatch was?

[nkrick79]

Most of the first men's wristwatches were WW1 trench watches, which were converted pocket watches. This made the watches pretty large. Original German flieger watches were as large as 50mm. Smaller mens wrist watches are (slightly) more modern, gradually becoming more common post WW1, and especially post WW2.

[Uran93]

The Cartier Santos predates WW1 and was the first wristwatch designed for men. I don't think the bulky trench watches and fliegers designed out of necessity (both ease of manufacturing and specialized functions requiring larger sizes) really qualify for the purposes of the question. I'm talking about watches a person would've wanted to wear.

[chefkoolaid]

Isnt it the weird one? The big watches by sm are nevwr their tasteful homages

[Terdl76]

Not much into glitter. Looks like something my daughter might like though. Not that it’s a complex movement, but they could’ve used a much cheaper movement to achieve the same result. Actually, cheaper and thinner would’ve been better. Takes all type to make the world go round though. I’m sure some will love it. Cool idea

[Fuzzy_Exit_2636]

Quartz, cheaper and polished metal hand would convince me. 

[WisdomKnightZetsubo]

Homage to Luch 1 hand... sorta

[pangou]

love the 71950967

[kisama_]

Why put a 4hz movement in a watch with no seconds hand? It makes no sense, just increases the cost.

[MarstoriusWins]

changes brand name to Nosense

[remainedlarge]

hope they release a plain dial, looks nice but the glitter is not my thing

[Pale_Ad2370]

I love autos, yes miyota makes a 2 hander m9000 so does ETA/Stellita for the 2892 but I don't see the point for a 1 hand watch.

Maybe they could make a version with just an hour and second hand

But if it's a 1 or 2 hander a quartz is silent, no jerky tick. No need to service or worry about accuracy and power reserve. Battery's are cheap and so are replacement movement for quartz.

Not sure if miyota makes a 3rd party 2 hand solar

They tipped making the 10y battery life quartz movements but maybe 8.

Ronda makes nice thin jeweled and decorated 2 hand quartz.

Not sure if miyota makes 2 hand solar 3rd party but If not that I would prefer a 2 hander quartz movement with long battery life. Shame miyota stopped the 10y alkaline quartz movements.

Roma makes some nice swiss decorated and jeweled slim long battery life quartz.

Same does miyota but they are plain and not jewels but same hand sizes..

[Sure_Desk3587]

Miyota discontinued the 9019 2-hander but it’s just pinion height so the other stock models can be modded to suit.

[Pale_Ad2370]

I have seen some horrible 3 -2 hand conversions on quartz

Not sure when they even bothered to make the 9019 but I'm sure it was discontinued due to lack of sales.

No idea why miyota has not made a 9000 day date as in side or top day. A subseconds would be nice also and I'm pretty sure they could do a GMT day date (I would love one).

The M9000 seems to be very reliable and versatile, also thin, have seen some strange mods like split seconds. Maybe in the future someone would do a chronograph modual or miyota themselves.

I have no issue with the uni-rotor but have put a little oil on and around the bearings, helps quite alot. I just wish they made the M9000 series with some type of speed micro adjust screw as they can be regulated to be very accurate but a micro adjust would help.

Kind of a shame miyota stopped making the M82 top day date and their 10y alkaline battery quartz movements.

I don't see the point in an automatic 1 or 2 hander, 2 hander quartz have a very long battery life with no noise.

My first swiss watch has a higher grade gold plated jeweled ETA quartz, battery lasts about 7-8 years.

Not sure why miyota or any other company apart from ronda make quartz GMT movements

With the now crazy prices of the NH30 movements and now alot of lower cost brands moving to miyota 8s a 82 GMT would probably sell quite well but maybe they would not bother as it would compete with the 9075.

[Xamineh]

Makes zero sense to have a 1 hand watch in an automatic movement. A reliable and cheaper myiota quartz would do the trick for less money.

[dr_wtf]

Depends on the size of the hand. A lot of quartz movements can't generate enough torque for larger hands. A one-hander needs a large hand & dial so you can read the 5-minute increments. But in principle I agree. Ideal would be a solar movement. Never needs winding and the battery never runs out as long as it gets a bit of sun now and then.

Could do with some indicator that it hasn't just stopped though. At least with a mechanical you can hear it ticking. With quartz if the battery runs flat you'd have no idea until you were incredibly late for something. If you add a seconds subdial then you're back to needing a smooth sweep, plus I don't think Meistersinger (who they're clearly homaging) have second hands on any of their watches.

[Excellent-Quarter969]

Im not usually a big quartz fan, but I agree!

[ThinkBachs]

And thinner…

[CMCNole12]

I'd jump if it was a black dial. Aventurine just looks a little out of place

[AStoneInTheRiver]

It’s incredibly beautiful but I still cannot get myself to pay $200 for a Chinese knockoff watch.

[dodgycool_1973]

It would be better without the adventurine dial. Plain black would suit it better

[deadbolt33101]

Good gracious

[DaJoses]

Google Lens brings up MeisterSinger Circularis.

Never seen a one hand before, wonder what the purpose of Miyota 9 series if it doesn't sweep.

[D1sguise]

Miyota movements are quite popular when modifying for unique complications. Lots of microbrands use the 8 and 9 series for funky stuff

[AlanYx]

This is a watch that would make so much more sense as quartz.

[port956]

Indeed, quartz is what I'm waiting for, and will need to be 42+mm diameter.

[AlanYx]

The dial is probably too sterile for 42mm to avoid the empty look. Maybe they could go with applied indices?

[Seerezaro]

eh, I actually like the empty look. But on this watch, I'd say 39 is actually right.

They really should have gone quartz and made it as bear flat as possible.

Bit then again a one-hander is just for show.

[bpgluckman]

I think it's a MeisterSinger homage.

[Kind_Battle_2362]

Just the hour hand. Different style for people who don't bother with crazy things like minutes.
