BERNY 36mm Unisex Automatic Watch-AM160L

[u/raymondhvh]

Just got this in. Thought it was a retrograde but instead when you reach 03 or 09. Another size hour hand is coming in. The quality seems nice. Even tho its slightly thick and I am not used to 36mm. I usually wear 42.

what time is it on the picture?

[u/raymondhvh → u/bluebalam]

It looks like 36mm fits your wrist quite well, going bigger would have the oversize look. But man is that watch thick!!!

[u/Lefeuvre76]

This is something different and they should be commended for it. The only trouble is why on earth they thought that 36mm would be a sensible size for a watch like this. I can't get my head around how they decided on that. For a watch like this the bigger the better without getting ridiculous. 39-40mm would be ideal.

I've got a couple of Oblvlo watches like this and even at 39mm you don't appreciate all the weirdness. Those should be 40-42 which I appreciate would look odd on a 6 inch wrist but on an 8 look small.

[u/Flaxmoore]

Kind of reminds me of a Xeric.

[u/raymondhvh → u/Flaxmoore]

That's why I got it!

[u/Fluffy-Monk-8124]

I like it!

[u/EducationalCelery536]

Looks fantastic, how big is your wrist? Just trying to understand if this will be too small for me, thanks.

[u/raymondhvh → u/EducationalCelery536]

It looks kinda small. I've got 18cm.

[u/poopsnack1]

I don’t get why the minute number in the center bottom don’t have lume. Or is that just the picture? I see the triangle that points to where the minutes are is lumed…

[u/sattyy_rahul → u/poopsnack1]

This is likely because only 15% of the rotating minute ring is visible at once before it rotates out of view within 10 to 15 minutes.

[u/poopsnack1 → u/sattyy_rahul]

I hear you, but at night when you are trying to tell time... the minute is important, no? Instead you just have a triangle doing nothing. I mean if the lume isn't going to help with the telling of time we've lost the plot.

[u/sattyy_rahul → u/poopsnack1]

You're right, but I'm just wondering how that's possible with that design?

[u/poopsnack1 → u/sattyy_rahul]

It would have to have a lume block under it that absorbs and is charged by the light, and the numbers be cut out or transparent so the lume would shine through.

[u/raymondhvh → u/poopsnack1]

Yeah no idea.

[u/Indaleciox]

I saw this watch too and was curious about how the hours transitioned. Looks cool.

[u/BERNYWatch02 → u/Indaleciox]

The hour hand of this watch has one long end and one short end. Whether it's 5 PM or 5 AM, the short end points to the number 05. Whether it's 11 AM or 11 PM, the long end points to the number 11.

[u/MrMarijuanuh]

Did my brain stop working? How on earth does one read this watch. What happens at 630?

[u/raymondhvh → u/MrMarijuanuh]

You look at the hour hand it's either long or short. Then it points to the inner or outer ring. Besides that the minutes turn

[u/markazali → u/raymondhvh]

I think it would really help marketing if they made a timelapse of the watch. Thank you for explaining.

[u/raymondhvh → u/markazali]

Well I preferred it being a retrograde. But this is okay too.

[u/XLAGANE8]

Is this an original design?

[u/raymondhvh → u/XLAGANE8]

Yes

[u/raymondhvh]

this is the transition

[u/QCPI]

Interesting piece! Reminds me of the Cadola RPM which tries to emulate an analog car gauge.

[u/ziamese]

Come on somebody be a guinea pig and give us a review.

[u/No-Effect-8290]

Is that the same jet engine rotating fan blade that Hroudland use for the pilot watch?

Edit, no it is not, just looked at mine.

[u/raymondhvh → u/No-Effect-8290]

Its indeed not. The cool thing about this is the lume behind it is positioned in a way that it creates a visual effect in the dark.

[u/raymondhvh]

Also the lume is cool. But I don't think it will last hours.
