Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Does anyone have this brand of watch?

Alex, if you want the appearance/feel of a leather strap, so be it. Understand though that I don't use a metal band with a clasp, but an expansion band that simply slips right on or off.

As to automatic movement watches, even very inexpensive quartz analog models are significantly more accurate.

I notice that the dial diameters of two models that you mention are significantly different(35 and 43 mm). Generally the best appearance results if the diameter is correlated with wrist diameter. What's yours?

This one has a perpetual calendar which is a feature I love.

Very excellent point. If you are looking for pinpoint accuracy, go with a quartz. You'd have to spend thousands to get close to the same result with an automatic, even then a cheap quartz may still win.

Think of it along the lines of why some of us (me included) spend $$ on tube amps, in addition to solid state. It's just something a little different.

My normal watch has a 30.4mm dial and a 40.2mm case. My wrist diameter is about 8inches (as measured with a tape measure). John, the Christopher Ward watch has a 43mm case, not dial. The Dial may be 33mm? just guessing.. From the manual, Accuracy: +20 / -10 seconds per day. I am ok with that range.

Accuracy... My regular watch gains about a minute a week, it has an automatic movement. So, being slightly off as long as it's fast isn't a huge deal . I'm use to re-setting the time of my watch once a month.


The leather band watch would most likely be worn the minority of the time. Which would result in setting the time every time it's worn...


If i need to know exactly what time it is i just use my iphone, as i almost always have it with me..

The problem is, it's gold.... i Don't like wearing a gold watch... At all. Just me i guess.

Oldskool, great idea! I can buy a mechanical watch to wear when I'm listening to the tubes with a vinyl front end!

We are going to be very perturbed if you don't pick out a watch that WE like!

Alex, actually I should have been referring to the diameter of the case, not just the dial. There's a rule-of-thumb about it being about a fifth of wrist diameter, so your present watch is right on that standard.

My watch gains about two seconds a week and is reset(about 30 seconds slow)just at the time change.

Edit: I better make that wrist circumference, too.

Bro, to much going on... I'm looking for a simple round case watch..

Thank you for the effort though, i sure it was agonizing looking around the internet for watches
