Arrow Farer Watches...

I really like these watches... but the price is way outta my budget. Love their website with the car sounds and photos...


The LANDER watch is the one I'd go for. I think its cool you can request a certain serial number or special details to be engraved. That's very cool.

Compared to other Swiss movement watches, the prices aren’t that high at all. They even offer a quartz option for half the price. Same warranty I believe. Nice styling, I like them.

Not bad at all, but I see too many inconsistencies with these dials , hands and color choice of them .May be I dislike syringe hands that would make me say that

These are very nice and high quality for the price: https://huckberry.com/store/farer

That price is good based on the current exchange rate, and probably some other factors, but I wish they made a 42mm size, it appears that all of their watches are 39.5mm. First World problems.....

I like the look of these Farer watches, very smart

Here are some other small companies making watches with Swiss movements in case you're interested:

https://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/?___from_store=de

https://www.christopherward.co.uk/

https://www.archimede-watches.com/

I have mechanical watches from each of them and can vouch for the quality

The GMT watches, with the extra hour hand for your home time zone, are about 40% more than the three hand watches without it.

I asked about Farer a few months ago and got the opposite response... not much love from the few who replied. I've yet to see one in person, or hear impressions from anyone that owns one or has seen one in real life, either. The pictures of them look good and the features seem legit, but just a little high on the price (for the auto) for a startup watch company.
