MCT Frequential One F110 Watch Hands-On
I’m always looking for something different-a different look and a different story – for a watch whose design journey began on the road well-travelled, but ended up miles off the beaten track. If the design detour takes in the odd haunted forest, forbidden castle, or a dragon-infested dungeon, all the better. I like new watches to look new, to look like they’ve sprung from a fantasy right onto an open-minded wrist. Enter the MCT Frequential One F110-a vision in black and a neo-gothic master-stroke.When a watch can be identified by the silhouette of its buckle, you know you’ve stumbled upon a brand creator’s wet dream. The MCT Frequential One F110, which just so happens to be MCT’s “entry-level” model, has a double-deployant, grade 5 titanium clasp that got me excited. It isn’t the most wonderful clasp I’ve ever seen in terms of design or even functionality-it doesn’t work differently or better, it just looks like nothing
Marvin M014 Watch Review
Those of you who are entirely mechanically minded might miss the point of most watches out there – that being, to look good. “Looking good” and machinery don’t always mix, but when they do the result is most satisfying. For that reason most functional things try to emulate machinery as close as possible to strive for the beautiful sweet spot of an item that is in perfect equilibrium between form and function.I mention this as a prelude to the Marvin M014 watch as a means of explaining it. Gear heads out there might miss the point. In summation, the watch is a mechanically inspired watch that wishes to thematically mention its more expensive and possibly less sexy brethren. The M014 is housed in a polished and brushed steel candybar-like case with an perlage polished face and a few dials to tell the time. Almost like a regulator watch in appearance, the dials are there for the minutes, hours (on a disc), and the seconds below.
