HYT H0 2N Gold Watch Hands-On
This is the ritziest version of the HYT H0 yet, being in 18k 2N “pale” gold. One of the biggest problems with gold these days is that there are too many ways to fake it. The ability to color other metals and materials so that they look like gold has in many ways diminished the value of real gold. I even attribute the popularity of metals such as bronze with their ability to look like gold (at least from afar). So many things want to be gold, that it can be challenging to know what actually is and isn’t gold. I say all this because even though the case and dial of this version of the HYT H0 are in solid gold, you might not know it just by seeing it.Hence the concern of making a non-traditional watch out of a traditional luxury material. The HYT H0 continues to look mod-spacey with something that looks like a miniaturized gadget from the Jetsons universe. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but haute luxury is far more trend-based than it is open-minded to novel
Ellicott Majesty Watches Hands-On
I got a call a few months ago from Ellicott’s CEO, he was anxious to speak with me about an article I had written about the brand. Let me back up a moment, here. I learned about Ellicott maybe or year or two ago. The brand is only in their second year of existence as of writing this article. From the beginning, I have enjoyed the look of most of their watches and was impressed by their in-house movement. It is a brand I had high esteem for.On the phone with the CEO, I am hearing about how he is concerned about an article I wrote that he felt disparaged the new brand he was trying to build. The article actually praised the cool design of the Mach One Skymaster Aviator watch thought it ruthlessly poked fun at the press release and marketing information. He was being protective; I get that. It was nice to have to defend my sense of humor.
