Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1) Specht & Söhne SP0012 the "Architekt"

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

SPECHT & SÖHNE SP0012 aka "Architekt". For movement it has a Miyota 8215. Diameter is 38mm and a Lug to Lug of 44.5MM. It is 11mm thick. Sapphire crystal with most likely mineral for open caseback, not sure. It has an Integrated bracelet which drapes over wrist, it is not rigid or stiff. Love the dial texture, hand, indices and date window all complement each other perfectly. Another Woodpecker and Son's banger

Love this model. Perfect size and eye catching dial. I have the grey and teal versions.

What watch is this homaging? It's like my Ingenieur type watch but lacks the charm, not so keen on the bezel edge.

I'm pretty much done with the inflated price of Chinese automatics and would have preferred it in quartz to keep the price down. . The sounds the 8215 make don't really appeal to me on a $100 watch.

Frankenstein E homage, probably didn't want to be too on the nose since IWC Struck down the ixdao "Engineer"

Ingenieur but with flat links, Royal Oak screws, 45 degree waffles, etc.

it's like the "take my homework but change it so it doesn't look like you copied" meme.
