I quite like the the looks of these . According to their Kickstarter page, they were able to get these branded as Swiss Made with some tweaks to manufacturing.

They appear to be moving quickly too.

Same movement as the modern Tudor ranger and black Bay according to this article.

If you're digging them ? Which one?

Guess I need to decide if the 38mm will make my wrist look fat.

 

Hmmm pretty good deal indeed!

 

@oddboy hunting for lollipop on the cheap.

 

I signed up and will probably get the 38mm no date. Haven’t decided on the color yet

 

@oddboy, did you get yours?

 

not yet! I got a pair, 38mm and 42mm, so they should be shipping next -- i hope!

how do you like it?

 

I like it. It is a good fit. The bezel has a little play, but we will see.
As for time keeping it is pretty good so far. Haven’t done anything official yet. It does feel a lot lighter than all of my other watches. If you are in the US, I assume you should get it by mid/late next week (they posted an update for those who ordered doubles). My arrived in the US on Tuesday (shipped out from Europe Monday) and I received it yesterday morning.

 

38mm, 42 is quite big!

 

How do you like it? Mine is keeping time really well. Now take off the plastic!

 

yeah, I *just* took them out of the box...

i need to size the bracelet, but otherwise, I like it. Worth the money, IMHO.

 

Well, I was "in" the kickstarter campaign but backed out, something else came up. I particularly liked the black dial with red elements as per the OP's post.
I still like the look, may have pangs of regret, but I'm already looking at enough black dial divers on the shelf so one more is not a positive step for me. I will watch this thread with interest.

 

The white dial is nice as well. Almost like a pearl finish

 

"The no date version is aesthetically more clean, while the date version is the more practical variant of the two. Please note that we don’t have the possibility to customize the actual movement, therefore the no date version will have a so called ‘’ghost position'. This means that the date is covered by the dial, but the actual setting on the crown is still available. "

from the kickstarter page.

This kind of detail would drive me mad.

 

One extra position to pull the crown through to set the time? I didn't even notice when I did it about half hour ago.

 

Sized, set and ready for action.

 

For comparison.

 

The 38mm is a nice size

 

Hi @oddboy, all

Just 'found' your Maen Hudson posts; I like them! They do leave me wondering, though, as I seem to recall the black-dialed Maen Hudson was only announced with some red accents on the hands, most notably in the lollipop hand. In contrast to the announcement and pictures on the website, yours do not have these red accents. Was this an option, or has the design slightly changed?

 

I believe @oddboy got the LE version which is no red accent and white. The one i picked out was the “GHOST WHITE” version which had everything white. I chose this option because most of my watches have a black dial so I figured a white one would help diversify my collection and the white lollipop second hand is lumed whereas the red is non-lumed. Overall i am pretty happy with the watch and mine has been keeping time pretty well!

 

@chanbar nailed it. I picked up the LE version during the kickstarter campaign .
