Interesting, did not know that. It looks like a good design.

It's good design. But it's more expensive than pins and screws so I've only seen Thorn and Addiesdive use it on some of their more expensive watches.
Thorn released this over.a year ago.

He’s from North Philly. Different crowd up there.

With SW200 for almost $2k? No way. Put a Miyota 9k and sell itt for $700, or use a COSC SW300 (or LJP G100) for $2k.
The Giorgio Galli S1 released 3 years ago had just that (and priced at $500). To me this was a much better proposition, albeit not in titanium.

Winning response right there!
We been there with Casio and it worked for them. It may work for Timex too.
Nice design!

What does that have to do with anything? Genuinely curious what your point is?

I actually think it's an interesting design. But, I never buy watches without a minute track anymore. And as another member implied, this aesthetic would look better without a seconds hand.
Obviously, the pricing is difficult to defend.

A little Philly humor for @Chris Stark, whom is obviously from Philly is all. Un-wad your panties, genuinely.

Could be the depreciation winner of 2025. A lot of year left, but this is a strong contender.

Got it, I didn't know he was from Philly. I don't need to un-wad anything, I just didn't get what you were trying to say. Just seemed completely irrelevant to the thread.

I get that Timex is trying to step up its game, and I generally like that design aesthetics, but in close up pictures, the watch just doesn't nail it for me, and certainly not at that price.
I'd describe the look - for lack of more flowery words - as minimalist with a stylized chapter ring, and so many other brands have done it better - see below. I realize quite a few of them cost more, but they also look like they're worth over $1900 (and the Dufrane and Smiths cost a lot less). Ming really nails this look.

I like it. And I like that Galli has been pushing Timex into a whole new era. It's not going to be a watch for everyone, as only 500 will be made. I'm also intrigued with the no tool link design on the bracelet. I don't think I have ever seen something like that. And it wasn't that long ago that many of us would have frowned or scoffed at a $300 Timex. But that's what their automatics are going for today.

Well OK. But they seem kinda waddy, even now.

They really aren't. I don't live in North Philly, although my family did decades ago. I was truly just interested in the joke. Not vested. Carry on good sir.
Me too!
