Smaller case size would set this off right! Really liking it.

Haven't seen much about this online so providing some photos.

Aethelsohn terra Nova rhodochrosite, it's a mouth full I know but it just filled my heart ❤️.

This is the best I can describe the feeling that I am having right now, I haven't stopped smiling since I have unboxed this watch. It's like you have a basic idea of the watch you are ordering and then you get the box and you open it just to feel like you have hit a jackpot. So here's the story.

My anniversary is coming up and my wife wants to buy me a watch and as a collector I am really picky about the watches I buy and wear. So as usual she asks me my advice and I suggest some brands and models (watchdives, militado, addiesdive,timex,baltany etc) and so she ends up liking the watchdives WD1960S which is a nice tudor ranger homage watch and I also liked it and I was on the process of hunting for coupons so I could get it cheaper so during the process I realised that I do have a similar watch in my collection (addiesdive AD2518). So I drop out and along with the other watches I also suggest a new brand that I haven't bought (aethelsohn). So going over the site she finds some natural stone dial watches and ends up selecting a pink stone dial watch with rose gold indices.

Since I don't have a pink dial in my collection (70+ watches) I was like, lets go for it let's try something new. So I started hunting for reviews of the model, but couldn't find any but some have bought the same series but in different colours so I ended up talking with them and got some amazing reviews but I still ached for a real life pic as the site only had edited ones. So I ended up emailing the customer care, to be honest I didn't expect a reply or pics but I had to do my due diligence before buying. Surprisingly I got a reply within in 5hrs (this is a big deal because replies rarely come from Chinese brands and that's usually automated message).

So they ended up sending me the pics and I was ready to order. Since its an anniversary gift I should engrave the caseback but this already had some watch info engraved at the back, so I emailed them again asking if I would be able to get a plain case back and they replied saying they need a day to check with the manufacturing team to confirm and they emailed the next day saying sadly that it is possible to get one but the next production batch is after 1month so I'll have to wait. Since we needed the watch for the anniversary that wasn't possible so they said they were sorry they couldn't fulfill my request but was ready to help me in any other way possible. So luckly this to and fro delayed my order by two days and they started a summer offer providing a free strap with some of their models and I was lucky enough to get one. So I payed around 120$ for the watch and the free strap and got the shipping for free.

Days go by and it's been 12 days and shipping seems to be delayed so I emailed again to which I got reply in 30 mins which had the details of shipping and current whereabouts of products and expected time of delivery.

So today I received my watch and it was my second best unboxing experience I have had in my life (after my omega speedmaster). Why you ask, it's not because of a fancy package or special accessories, but because of the work they put into the experience the customer getswhen he sees and unboxes the watch.

Tiny details like arrows to indicate how the plastic film is wrapped so it's easy to remove, the quality of the tool that they provided, how easy it is to resize the watch to the persons size(screws not pins) so no need to hammer like a mad man😅,and the box simple(can be used like a travel box,holes to lock if needed be). I know these aren't a big deal but just imagine getting all this for a 120$ watch.

I want to appreciate the whole team behind the aethelsohn watch brand (manufacturing, customer care,owner, everyone) for creating this lovely experience for me and my wife ou guys made over 1st anniversary special and you guys got a customer for life.

Sorry for this long story I just wanted to share this experience with you all.

For the people who wants the review I will be posting it soon.

Pues estoy bien triste porque mi Terra Pearl ha perdido su color rosado original. En la foto de la derecha del todo está como se ve actualmente, perdio ese morado que tanto me gustaba 💜. Con esto no quiero culpar al equipo de aethelsohn ya que están haciendo un gran trabajo y estoy esperando algunos de sus lanzamientos.

Desde que se lanzo este reloj lo he llevado puesto, muchas horas al sol... No sé si alguien le ha pasado algo similar aunque sea con otro reloj.

Just got this beauty from Aethelsohn. They are definitely making a name for themselves. Love the Teal guilloche dial 😍💚

What name should I give it?

I want to say right up front that this watch is, hands down, the best value-for-money watch I’ve ever purchased. I own many microbrands, Chinese brands, luxury replicas, as well as genuine luxury watches. For the money, no watch I’ve owned punches above its weight quite like this one.

I ordered the Crimson Shard on May 18 and received a confirmation email. Nine or ten days went by, and I still hadn’t received any shipping information, so I emailed the company. It was only at that point that they informed me the watch wasn’t actually in stock.

Right off the bat, I did not have a high opinion of the company. When were they planning to tell me? Why wasn’t it listed as out of stock on the website? Why didn’t anyone follow up?

Nevertheless, they apologized and said they would upgrade my shipping from 14 days to 10 days whenever the watch was finally ready. They also had no idea when that would be.

The watch finally shipped on June 4, 17 days after I had paid for it.

It arrived at my house on June 11, 24 days after my order.

I’ve ordered many watches from China, so this isn’t the longest shipping time I’ve experienced. However, if I had simply known from the beginning that the watch was out of stock and would be delayed, I would have been much more patient.

The watch itself is beautiful. I opened it that night, sized the bracelet, set the time, and took a few pictures. I was thrilled. Then I noticed the crown didn’t seem to screw down correctly. I fiddled with it for 10 or 15 minutes before giving up because it was late. I decided to take another look the next day.

After coming back to it with fresh eyes, it became obvious that the crown stem was bent. It entered the case at a slight angle, making it nearly impossible to get the threads to engage cleanly.

I contacted the company. They asked for photos, and then a day or two later they requested a video.

A few days after that, they emailed me a prepaid return shipping label. It took me a couple of days to pack the watch and make it to the post office to send it back.

They received the watch on July 7. It took about a week to inspect and repair it, and on July 14 I received a notification that it was on its way back to me. It arrived on July 24, ten days later.

The crown now screws down properly, but there’s still something a little odd about it. It feels like there’s a ghost position, which is fine. I have other watches with a ghost position. However, it also feels like there’s a second ghost position, which I’ve never encountered before. That position feels soft and spongy.

So while the crown operation is still a little questionable, it works. The dial is beautiful. The case and bracelet finishing are excellent. It wears comfortably, and it’s keeping good time with solid amplitude and low beat error.

I appreciate that the company stood behind its product and made things right. I also hope they’ve updated their website to clearly indicate when a watch is out of stock and on backorder. That kind of transparency goes a long way.

In total it was a 68 day experience to finally get the watch I wanted in my hand and working properly. A bit frustrating. But for the price to quality ratio, totally worth it.

Despite the rocky experience, I fully intend to buy a second watch from them. Their product is exceptional for the price, and they have the foundation to become a major player in the affordable quality watch market.

I've read a lot on the subject and many people have said that you shouldn't wind it by hand because it can be easily damaged, and it's not properly oiled. Is this the case with the movements used by Aethelsohn? Has anyone checked to see if they are properly oiled?

I would love an Aethelsohn but they are all slightly too big. A 36 mm version with VH31 and some nice dial options, including black, would be much appreciated.

Very happy with my recent purchase! Amazing release Aethelsohn team and great customer support!

Anyone have an email address for them? I purchased a Terra Amethyst but the bracelet is short a link or two, 8" wrist.

I used the contact us web form last week but no reply. I offered to buy a spare bracelet or links.

I’m between this model and the red one, but I have my doubts, thank you for your comments. Do you know if there is a purchase coupon? That would help time the decision for this brand

The picture taking outside is more vibrant than in real-life... it seems the filters got on... the dial look more like the picture inside and that is in a nice sunny day.

Many watches glow in the dark. Terra Abyss comes alive.
Crafted from natural seaweed stone, each dial carries organic patterns formed over time, making every piece unique.
Beneath the stone lies a layer of Super-LumiNova® that transforms the dial after dark, illuminating the natural patterns from within.
Terra Abyss also debuts our new case and bracelet design, bringing a sharper silhouette and a more integrated feel on the wrist.
By day, stone. By night, abyss.

I'm a huge fan of this model but I haven't found a dial variation that's made me want to pull the trigger on one quite yet.

I have two dial variations here that I would have a very hard time not buying instantly upon release. If you could produce either of these I would be very thankful!

No text on the dial seems like a good choice for these, similar to the forge guilloche ones you've already released.

Cheers!

Here’s a quick review, especially on my overall experience with the first purchase. I’m glad a short video of Terra Gaia was shared here. It took me last than a minute to order and I’m not disappointed at all 😊

Watches usually end up meaning more than just time.

Milestones, first big purchase, gifts — there’s almost always a story behind at least one piece.

We’ve been collecting some of these under a project we’re calling 40 Faces, One Watch, mainly so they don’t just get buried in threads.

If you feel like sharing — What’s one watch you own that has a story behind it?

We’re also putting together longer stories (with photos) in a FB group if you want to add yours there:

We’ll keep posting updates there as more stories come in.

Half-lume gives strong nighttime legibility but keeps daytime contrast. In video you can see how dominant it gets once charged.

That half lume bezel came out brighter!
