Product Description
If understated watches are your thing, then the Slow Jo is a grand slam. The dial is bare except for Arabic numerals around the outer chapter ring, drawing allusions to the Bauhaus movement of the 1920s Read More

pontiusYou know you're a bit of an idiot; right? We all have personal opinions and background knowledge of how the world works. To push your personal petty agenda here is pretty pointless. I'm sure nobody really cares why you hate this watch. I prodded you purely for entertainment purposes. Enjoy your little rage-filled life!

This watch is for one of those lazy Sundays when you just do things as they come.
"What time is it?" *yawn* "Just past noon." "Seafood?" "+ beach + margarita?" "Heck yea."
(4 hour drive later) "Yum."

for appointments I always have my phone, this is for generally knowing the time of day. but having more than quarter-hour interval periods are sometimes better.

Is it me or are every shot of these watches upside-down? The 0 should obviously be on the top.

Agreed. For many reasons- perceptual, aesthetic, and even social- I prefer my zero at the bottom, seems more user-friendly. Bet this issue persists as long as watches have hands.

I am currently wearing one and I absolute love it. It's comfy, the dials and design makes it very easy to tell the time and give you the perspective of day and night.

I think the only mechanical watch from them was the discontinued vintage lens watch. Wish they offer more watch using automatic movement

mrgrandisTheir lens watches are a bit more convincing as lenses than my OrientStar Retro Future Camera watches, which are supposed to evoke, while not actually looking like, 1950s German camera lenses from Leica, Zeiss, et al.

It's not clear from the website that the Vintage Lens Automatic TS1601 is discontinued. But they seem to have no online shop, so it's hard to tell.

Edit: Ah, I see that they have a U.S. site that says it's out of stock:

Tempted. Very much prefer the less busy/cluttered dial of the slow mo 06 though. Also wish it had lume!

Totally distraught! Removed watch this morning as weather was getting humid and I didn't want the leather band to stain from sweat. Came back after lunch and the glass is destroyed! I can only assume that the heat has stressed the glass too much as it seems to be a compression fracture.

Steelbutterfly10/10 for customer service! I contacted warranty dept regarding my watch and they sent a replacement lens and refunded me the cost of having it installed in my watch. Over the moon with both service and watch. One of my favs in spite of being my newest watch!

SteelbutterflySame thing happened to my watch. I contacted Massdrop with pictures of the fault. They told me that it was not part of the warranty. I threw my $200 Slow-mo watch in the bin. Last time I have anything to do with Slow-mo....

CloacaLooks way sexier than the Slow Jo. It's too bad that these are still Quartz watches. I realize that since there's no seconds hand to have the smooth sweeping movement, it would lose some of its purpose. Still, it's hard for me to justify purchasing a Quartz watch at this price when there are lots of beautiful automatics for the same cost.

ThePlaidypusI agree, but a point in favor of a quartz moment for an einzeiger is that setting the time on these suckers is a bit of a pain, not as quick to do, so for a hard-to-set watch that you don't wear everyday quartz has the merit of not running out after 40 hours.

What is a "watch glass protector"? Which one would you recommend buying for this watch (Slow Jo 17)?

jgsprattI haven't investigated too much but if you look on Amazon for "watch glass protector" there are several that show up.
One would be an example:
https://www.amazon.com/KlearKare-Invisible-Protector-Military-Protection/dp/B00BUJ3AF2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1505148940&sr=8-4&keywords=watch+glass+protector
It would cover just the glass and not the whole body of the watch.

DanielBairdMust have mistaken the watch for M. C. Escher.
There's a passing resemblance.
