How come nobody has thought of doing something like this before. Simple yet effective and on a really beautiful watch as well. If this is his first watch then he is someone to watch (no pun intended) in the future. Can't wait to get my hands (again no pun intended) on one. Wow.

So clever and fascinating. But then, I'm let down a bit by the simplicity of the design. It's almost like the design doesn't live up to the mechanism. That's not to say I need the equivalent of a pink mohawk on a Chanel model, however. My taste tends towards clean lines and uncluttered dials. The FHH forum, which was just held in Geneva, had the theme of rethinking business as usual, reaching for the wild card solution and stepping outside comfort zones in terms of making watches. This philosophy extends from design and mechanics and includes distribution. I wanted more of that edgy risk in Jenni's design. Especially when you're an independent, you need a watch that is different enough and high quality enough to have someone who is looking at spending a small fortune look at you over the big brands. Urwerk, MB&F, HW Opus series -- these watches offer something quirkily different but yet cleave closely to traditional watchmaking techniques. These are my initial impressions. They could change. It's been known to happen. Perhaps the watch will grow on me. In which case, I will publicly amend my opinion.
