These are supposedly 42mm cases. That means they could be either 42 or 44mm in my experience with their measurements. They tend to underestimate the size. Why I don't know.

Anyway, these are part a of newly introduced Horizon series that will become available in July of this year. There will be 14 models in all. Here are six of them. See what you think. cat28.gif

YOU have a good point there. Why not a black logo on the black models. That would be better. I wish they would just use the symbol without the triangle or not have it so damn big. But, I do like the watches. hand6.gif

I like them but they are derivative of others we've seen right up to the color schemes. I'm with TD on the logo... needs to be downsized... stopped me from buying a Marc special cuz' I knew the logo would drive me bonkers.

I agree with Pax and Tony.  They are very similar to other watches we've seen recently.  Maybe that's one of the reasons they keep the logo so prominent.  To be a little different...  I think the 2 tone horizon one is pretty cool though.   HIT!

It's actually a stylized aircraft engine.  Any more new models?

There are eight more in this series and they are also coming with a 1926 retro series (dress watches).

Mike I like them all and if they are 44mm I just may have to score one in July or August. :)

I like the chrono versions of the B&R homages in both SS and PVD and would get one as the mechanical chrono appeals to meyourock.gif

Did they mention a target price for these? It always amazes me when one company hits on a cool design (B&H, Big Bang, End of Days) there are similar ones out within 1-2 years. I guess it's hard to come up with something that hasn't been done before. I even saw a Seiko the other day that was a version of the old Hamilton Ventura. What goes arond comes around. I can live with the logo if the price is right.
