    New Guinand Kalendar 31

    Just saw a Worn & Wound article about this new model from Guinand, a new take on the pointer date complication.

    This does away with the unsymmetrical arrangement of the 31 day markers around the dial, replacing the 31st marker with a small dot that turns red on that date, with the elongated tail of the date pointer shaped as an arrow pointing directly at it.

    This allows an even every-other-minute distribution for the other date markers. Pretty neat really, and executed with an in-house modified SW220-1.

    I don't know much about this brand, but this looks rather nicely done to me. Expected RRP of about US$1,600.

    Yes I wondered about that.

    Can't believe the pictures are representative.

    I do like the concept of the date complication but it’s been executed very poorly, from a visual perspective.

    That date hand is very clumsy.

    The idea is good but the watch is bland and flat.

    I really like that but its nearly 41mm. Thats too big for a 3 or 4 hander in my eyes.

    I like the way Yema are doing 2 size options on some models these days
