Orient DJ02002W GMT Watch Review
This is the Orient DJ02003W, an automatic with GMT, date and power reserve complications. Classic and a bit conservative with silver dial and Roman numerals, Orient is as always, excellent value for the money. This represents a nicely made piece with one of their most modern, always in-house made movements to date.Orient’s signature complication is the power reserve indicator, here seen at twelve o’clock. They are not common, making it a nice differentiator for the brand. It indicates in hours, the amount of power in the mainspring. Here you can see about 30 hours of running remains. The movement should have a maximum power reserve of about 42 hours. With its bidirectional winding, about an hour per day of active wear (walking and such) will keep it topped off, but it’s a nice bit of interaction with the mechanics. I quite enjoy watching it climb while I handwind, reminiscent of feeding an electronic Tamigotchi pet.
Azimuth Mr. Roboto R2 Watch Review
Wearing the Azimuth Mr. Roboto R2 watch allowed me to realize how much I love faces on watch dials. I’m not talking about just a “watch face,” but one with eyes and a mouth. Inspired by 1950s-era metal robot toys, the Azimuth Mr. Roboto R2 watch?¨C rich with quirky personality?¨C smiles at you each time you glance at it. How does this affect the experience of wearing an otherwise cold, hard machine?The human mind is trained to see faces everywhere. In fact, we see other faces when there isn’t even one there?¨C ranging from patterns in nature to blobs on the wall. It is easy to misinterpret this phenomenon as being more symbolic than it is, which is really just a side effect of natural evolutionary behavior that encourages people to notice when there are other people around?¨C especially from a young age. How this relates to our enjoyment of non-human devices such as a watch can be interesting.
