When I hear about 21 jewels, I think Chinese mvt... Well, they certainly f'cked up on the listing who's not very well made actualy: They just spit every datas:

...,winding automatic mechanism
jewels 21 
balance Glucydur
mainspring Nivarox 1
functions hours,...

A bit curly this description: Specialy for the guy who don't know much about mvts...

Anyway, nothing special there, this is only some taping fault and we don't care...
I know some who propose the same case quality and standard from the same good Fricker, with the same mvt, same features and still at around 1/3 of price. And you know them also.
There is this BAD politic in the watch world lately who is standing for "Make something of good quality that stars and heros use, when it get known, make it expensive and sell the name and exclusivity in 2/3 of the price"

My opinion: We ever spoke about all of that on the forum and sincerely if you paid your Kobold over 1500buks, you been made.
Kobold seems to make very good quality but like others, they want a piece of the luxury market they don't deserve because they escape the inhouse on every of them models but one: If we can call it a pure inhouse.
I'm sorry to be so hard but someone with a big mouth had to say it: So throw me snow-balls with stones inside if you want, my nose was allready broken 3 times, I don't give a damn
:D
