Slow Jo 17

Unique desing. Great craftmanship. Perfect Size. A watch, a fashion statement and a reflexion about our last luxury : time. Very good ratio quality - desing - price. I think it would be great to add a new model or new options (self winding automatic movement AND saphirre cristal). Would be more expensive. For some, even the high price is a selling arguement. I will stay tuned.

It is hard to describe how using this watch makes you view time. From the moment I first put it on, I was able to read and understand time much quicker than with a regular watch or even a digital display. Here is the best way I can describe it - with an traditional analog or digital display you look at the watch, discern the time and then connect that to your day and schedule and what you should be doing. With this watch, not only is there only exactly one point to look at (quicker to read than digital or traditional analogue) but that point already corresponds exactly to something in your life. Instead of thinking "Ok, it is 7:53, that is close to 8, when i need to leave home to go to work." I simply see that the hand is pointing near the place that I associate with "Leave for work". It is a very interesting experience looking at the watch. I used to spend my day checking the time and quickly figuring out where in the day I was, and now, after only two days of wearing the watch, only occasionally glance at it and instantly know exactly where I am in my day. It's almost surreal sometimes. I also have to speak to their customer service. It is really great. I actually ordered a slightly different configuration, but didn't get a shipping notification for a few days. Not a problem, the company is called "Slow" after all. I popped them an email asking if it had shipped and was told that the configuration I ordered was not already built and packaged. Their solution was to send me this configuration plus the strap that I originally wanted, and to expedite my shipping. The result was the watch I had ordered, a significantly upgraded strap, plus quick shipping (it arrived around the same time I would have originally expected an international order to arrive!). They aim to please, and they hit their target in my case.
