I do usually lean towards a purely mechanical movement, however I am very interested in this project even if it'll be powered by a reliable quartz movement. Unfortunate really that QC considerations means that the Seagull ST19 [Venus 175] is not viable.
That the project is being driven forward by someone who has a real passion for watches & whose wristwatch reviews I have read on many occasions before finally purchasing the watch reviewed only makes me more determined to follow this project & then to seriously consider purchasing the resulting timepiece.
My PRS5 is one of my favourites, so to add a similar quartz design would be very appealing!
Ewan and I discussed this when it was still a concept and I'm glad that it's gone ahead, I look forward to seeing the results.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Good to know... I do think there will be a demand for it, when it gets released!
Just like the PRS5 is currently sought after!
Eddie,
If the Newmark chronograph is a success and given that you are already using the Seiko mechaquartz movement in other watches, will the PRS-5 make a return with the Seiko mechaquartz movement?
I probably won't bother now that the Newmark is happening.

Fair enough.
The Newmark 6BB meca quartz is discontinued and the CWC 7733 is silly money.
Quartz would be fine!
Please 😊
Pretty please 🙏
