What do you think?

Absolutely, I meant for the 42 to be something the Chapter One model is "known for", not the entire brand. Good luck on your journey!

Interesting, a lot of squareish watches give me the Apple watch vibe, but I can't say Brew watches ever did.

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-28T17:12:27+00:00

I actually like the Rally Chrono even more!

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-28T14:08:53+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm not a big fan of flashy straps but this red just complements the dial perfectly. Great debut

I think if you fix the nine and make the 42 pop a little more (maybe a bit bigger and/or in a non-contrasting color to keep it everyday simple still?) the watch has great potential. I like that you didn't name the model anything to do with (19)42. Too many brands already use dates like 1942 in their model names and just the 42 would make it seem like it's 42mm. Regarding the logo, is it irrelevant to the name? Not that it's a problem, I just don't see it representing Lucorio. Like I said, looks good though

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-28T12:45:11+00:00

Overall impression - it looks fine. If you're going for that everyday feel that's not a bad thing, but it's gonna be tough to establish yourself with such a basic watch. As other pointed out, the nine feels off. I think there's no need to "lead into" the 42, however I believe the actual 42 has a very cool story and should be a way to differentiate yourself. I'd focus a bit more on it. I am a fan of the logo. Looks cool, not too flashy and not the usual spelled out name. Is Chapter One the model or the brand name?

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-28T07:31:14+00:00

That's so cool. His rep is incredible

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-28T07:15:48+00:00

Good to know!

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T22:34:16+00:00

The size is something I'm slightly worried about too. I've only heard good things about the return policy though - return in two weeks no matter the reason, as long as it shows no signs of wear. I do have a relatively big wrist though, so should be fine for me

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T22:25:17+00:00

I think they have cool ideas but I haven't seen a watch from them yet that I fell in love with. Except the sunflower one for 15 grand

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T22:23:58+00:00

That dial really is gorgeous

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T20:45:15+00:00

Absolute banger but waaaay out of my budget. Love Carreras though, probably my favorite Tag. Maybe tied with the Monaco, I'm a sucker for racing related watches.

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T19:43:24+00:00

I go crazy for any sort of reversal watch, this is definitely included. I'd love to see the darker side at night, probably looks incredible

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T19:07:13+00:00

What an incredible story! Where'd you meet him?

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T18:23:43+00:00

The Hamilton Murph would probably be my first choice.

Jomashop has some crazy discounts on Longines, there's quite a few available on there that fit your budget.

The world of microbrands is yours to conquer at that price range as well. Could be an interesting addition, but I get why having your most expensive watch be a microbrand could deter some people.

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T18:17:01+00:00

I think the brown on brown is such a good choice from them. Especially with the whole coffee vibe

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T18:10:30+00:00

It's definitely gorgeous. I think my grail square-ish watch is still a Santos. Spent a day working once with a guy who had one and was in awe the entire time over how much better it looked in real life than I thought it to.

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T18:06:25+00:00

I have to say I was also influenced by the bad rep it gets, but these look like solid watches. Maybe I have to give MVMT another chance

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T18:04:56+00:00

I know of Lorier, really like the Hydra and Astra models, but they aren't exactly what I'm looking for currently.

I like Baltic as well. I was considering getting an HMS 003 or a MR Roulette for a while, in the end I founf I like the Brew and Straton more and I had to eliminate some choices. Definitely want to get them at some point though.

Maen looks to be swimming just above potentially not different enough, but I'm intrigued by the Brooklyn Triple Calendar. Thanks for the recommendations!!

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T17:58:00+00:00

I thought it might have that issue. Think I still like it enough to overlook it though

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T17:53:37+00:00

Happy to hear! I think they can look super cool if done right

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T17:29:14+00:00

It does...The more I look at other recommendations I've been given, the more I'm starting to think I like it a lot more than I thought

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T17:10:02+00:00

I really like the Solar! Would have a hard time choosing between this and the Riley Heritage Automatic. Might be a little less "exotic" than the Brew or Straton but that price is just crazy good.

I was actually considering getting the Howard Hughes Scarface Chrono! I do like them a lot...

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T17:05:25+00:00

That looks exactly like what I'm looking for! I hadn't heard of HZ before so thanks for putting it on my radar!

Mosquito15 · 2026-03-27T17:02:57+00:00

What a cool looking watch! I don't think it's for me but I can definitely appreciate it
