Product Description
From the design mind of Alexander Shorokhoff, the Friedmann automatic is influenced by select vintage Russian timepieces that swapped traditional watch hands for discs and unique shapes. Here, the smaller solid disc acts as the hour hand, and the larger silhouetted disc serves as the minutes hand Read More
I didn't like this watch last time and I like it even less this time.
I encourage everyone who feels differently, to order as many as possible on the hope you'll clear out the stock and I never have to look at it again!
I respect Alexander Shorokhoff, his own watches are beautiful and innovative, but this looks suspiciously like a rip-off of the classic Raketa Copernicus design. For an extra $100, you can get a similar design from a real Russian manufacturer with true heritage and (I suspect) much better QC: https://meranom.com/en/vostok/vostok-2441/
denpirhoWell you know, those damn commie Russians have always been in cahoots with those damn commie Chinese!
I'll tell you one thing, until they bring those Chinese Russian watch jobs back to America where they belong, I ain't buy'n one!
Still haven’t warmed up to the design (though I give them credit for trying something different) but what I’m really bummed out about (as I read earlier comments) is that somehow I missed the entire thread about who (country, government, religion) has killed more people throughout history. “People” get my vote; people are a very dangerous species, especially to/for other people. But back to the chat I missed, @Calaverasgrande gets my vote ;- )
PS: did I mention I’m lukewarm on the watch?
RayFThe most likely person to kill you is yourself, statistically speaking. The second most likely is someone close to you. You should be careful when you are around yourself or someone you know... :)
So is there really no past history from this watch maker or any known info about quality control, movement reliability or anything? I really like the design but I'm hesitant to jump on this blindly.
that's the vibe i was getting from it. otherwise why put like 0 actual info about it in the description. I'm gonna save my money and pass on this drop, as cool as i may think the design is.
NoahmByleWell I bought another watch from this company on Massdrop and I have to say that I don't have any complaints about quality or accuracy. The materials feel premium, and the watch isn't less accurate than the Orient Symphony I own. I'd say that if you like the look, go for it. It's not a cheapy company at all.
Well thanks for clearing that up...
Can the vender or a massdrop representative please tell us the the type of movement, and some info about if it is an inhouse movement; hacking, manual winding, the # of jewels, BPH or hz. I think we would like to know some more details about it. The details section of the add is very lacking in details. Thanks.
Thanks I just wish this info was in the ad so we know for sure that is the watch we are receiving, when we place the order. Thanks for your time and help.
As much as I love the look and wanna support the company from my homeland, initially I joined the drop and then canceled it after a bit of research. The original design can still be easily bought on ebay (some are even NOS with papers). Given the lack of transparency of specifications, it's considerably not worthy.
