Reply With QuoteSome interesting features on that, but - I can't help but feel they were determined to include NO design cues from more established makes (like sub-a-likes), and as such - perhaps taken that individuality too far.
The clasp is a work of art, though.
A new arrival from Bohen - a micro brand started by Blaine-Dominique Guliani. This is their first offering.
Thoroughly pleased.

I have to say that I like that! I like the clean look (with crown on top) and strong lines, the depth of the dial and the focus they've given to all areas of the watch (lume, movement, date magnifier, clasp, etc.). It's not fitting under a shirt cuff though! More suited perhaps to casual / weekends, or for leather-clad Harley-riding cyborgs.
I really like it. I wonder how easy the crown is to operate but it gives me a pleasing '70s retro vibe.
I'd rather have a ZRC Grand Fonds for similar dosh.

It’s an interesting watch, not sure I would describe it has elegant as a blog to watch does, robust and a statement piece would be my take.
It’s good that they are trying to develop their own design language and not copy the obvious inspirations out there, that said I am not sure the look is for me. I too would prefer a ZRC
As an object to admire, I absolutely love its looks; as a wristwatch to wear, I suspect it'll feel a bit...
Are you sure about that? Can you prove it?Originally Posted by jwg663
I'm not sure what you mean.
When I checked this morning, the Bohen was 3000Eu plus taxes.

The ZRC was 3290CHF plus taxes. That's about 3375Eu before tax.

Is there any more of my homework you wish to check?

A bit too much going on for my tastes, especially that date window..
Reminds me of something from City of the Lost Children…

Very bold-looking watch.
As others have mentioned...
...Love the clasp!
That's fine thank you. I thought the ZRC was a lot more expensive. Or I might have been thinking of Triton.
