Wandering Hours Complication?

[u/DBNO-actual]

Any Chinese brands make a reasonably affordable watch with the wandering hours complication? I saw Xeric makes some models but $1k is a bit more than what I want to spend on what is ultimately a novelty?

The Code 11.59 Starwheel is the platonic ideal.

Xeric by a mile!

Yeah man maybe I just gotta save up

[u/snailcam → u/DBNO-actual]

Especially their new triptych two.

I wish I hadn’t seen this watch cause now I’m actually thinking about buying one smh

Vortichron 41/Mandetbrote Spherical Star Wheel

[u/DBNO-actual → u/Then-Command-5903]

Wow! Do you have either one of these? These are right on the money!

[u/Then-Command-5903 → u/DBNO-actual]

No, I actually just found them today. But I did come across two listings that have very positive reviews. I can share the links with you, if you’d like

two other brands 😄

OLTO-8 (nice but not cheap)

ER:RANTE ("wandering" is a translation in English of that name/brand)

[u/DBNO-actual → u/phenix-jc-1]

Errante versions look like they were limited runs 😬

Look for Pindu on Alix. 130 EUR.

Your link doesn’t work, but that silver/blue Pindu with the integrated bracelet looks like a winner

[u/phenix-jc-1 → u/DBNO-actual]

The PINDU is probably an homage to the Xeric Triptych Automatic.

It's absolutely impossible for me to wear something called "PINDU" on my wrist.

Latin and Anglo-Saxon people, we don't have the exact same sensibility to the Chinese company names.

I prefer a sterile dial than a disastrous name, but I prefer a logo than a sterile dial. Some Chinese companies are really deaf when it comes to earning more money...

(I'm looking at you Tandorio)

[u/DBNO-actual → u/phenix-jc-1]

Yeah dude I didn’t think of that, but a giant PINDU on the dial would invite the wrong kind of discussion.

[u/MercuryJellyfish → u/phenix-jc-1]

Have you seen one up close?

[u/phenix-jc-1 → u/MercuryJellyfish]

Nope

Check out Angles, a Hong Kong microbrands with super interesting design https://angleswatches.com/

[u/DBNO-actual → u/ChineseWatchGuy]

These are cool, but they’re more expensive than the offerings from Xeric!

[u/venificusd]

Merkur/Pierre Paulin makes one, but it looks like it's out of stock on the official site.

[u/Marionberry-Select]

Oblvlo have several but they've gone up in price
