I'm not a cinematographer, I have no need for a watch that lets me know what the lighting is like. But, I am interested in getting a new watch. While I love the look of some of the watches like the Date Just II 41mm steel, I'll be damned if I'm going to spend $9000 on a watch. I would love to support an independent watch maker. Anyone have any suggestions?

There's always Shinola if you want to buy from your home state.

I like them b_b thanks. Link sent to wife for potential christmas gift. Nothing subtle on my end.

Those are cool watches.

I'm not a cinematographer either. However, I LOVE knowing sunrise and sunset, moonrise and moonset.

The fact that the Yes is a 24-hour dial really changes your perception of things. Read more here and here.

Join me and Adam Savage.

Barring that, go Pebble. They're amusing.

Love the Yes. I like being able to switch off the digital display and go only by the 24 hour hand.

I managed to kill mine by freediving a shade too deep and bleeding saltwater into the digital mechanism. Bjorn told me to send it over and he'd take a look at it, despite my being on a different continent. Great customer service. Fingers crossed.

You are officially the first person I've met who owns one that I haven't bought for them. Cheers.
