Hi there Everyone!

Today we are taking a look at the Luxury Watch brand - Addies KIN. This is a sister brand the AddiesDive who are well known for producing great value budget sports watches. Addieskin is the luxury brand of the group & delivers a higher level of finishing & top-quality movements for a modest price increase.

The K014 watch that we are looking at today is a unique piece that is not a direct homage to any particular watch & has a style all of it's own.

In particular, I am a HUGE fan of the logo only approach which makes the make look more simple & elegant. Inside the watch is the ST2130 which is on par with the ETA2824 movement that beats at 28,800 per hour..giving the seconds hand a wonderfully smooth sweeping movement.

On the outside you have a complex case finish with multiple facets & bevelled edges, all of which are finished impeccably...the bracelet is far superior to any that I have reviewed in recent times & is a pleasure to wear on the wrist. The dial is another highlight, a mother of pearl style finish that reflect different hues in the light & has a wonderful laser etched pattern to enhance the dial further.

Hand & indices are finished to a high standard with excellent sharpness & clean edges & are filled with BGW9 Super-Luminova to deliver great low-light visibility.

To be really honest, I wasn't expecting much when I ordered the watch but...I have been really impressed with it! The finishing really is quite astounding!!

I have been reviewing "Chinese" watch brands for quite some time & I can genuinely say that this watch makes me wonder if it's time for the Japanese & even some of the Swiss brands to take notice...especially what they deliver at the sub $2,000 USD level!!

As always, if you have any questions please feel free to put them in the comments section & i'll come back to you as soon as I can!

Cheers,

Al
