So when I saw the thread title, I thought you were referring to Martin Braun's slow runner. (http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/introdu...-beats-at-1-hz)

The watch you did in fact picture is interesting, but I would be lying if I said I have any desire for one. I think the concept is novel. There are other one-had watches around and I don't like any of them.

I don't like one-handers because I have yet to find one that's easy to read and the Slow brand's watch is no exception. Moreover, I don't care at all for the fact that to tell when it's 2:07, for example, one needs to have very good vision.

I like all sorts of watches: cheap, pricey, quartz, mechanical, serious and whimsical. I can take many things in a watch; I'm not a snob about them at all, but what I cannot take is one that makes me look hard to tell the damn time of day.

All the best.
