Hey, I kind of like the look of these watches (pretty unique if you ask me) but i'm looking to see if anyone has had one on wrist and their opinions.

Cheers!

 

I certainly don't have one. It's interesting on some level, but their website really doesn't have much info on it.

They simply claim a "swiss made movement," but the watch appears to be controlled via 3V micro motors, so it's electronic. Technically digital, it's not really my cup of tea, and I have a hard time ever feeling like you're getting your money's worth on a micro-brand startup.

 

If you like wearing a slide rule on your wrist have at it. Fashion watch. To each his own.

 

The watch is powered by a Swiss Ronda quartz movement...took me about 3 minutes to find that on their site...

 

I got a change to try these on while at NYC windup. I actually thought the whole concept was pretty interesting given you rarely see a new take on how to show time. However I probably just too used to having lugs and a more integrated feel between my watch and my strap.

The Klockers have this modular strap/attachment that just felt like things were floating on my wrist. Just not my cup of tea.

Regarding the watch itself, as most people have said, the Klock-1 (slide rule one) was almost impossible to read. I suppose I would get used to it given time. I preferred the Klock-2 (retrograde) since it felt more comfortable on the eyes.

 

Agree with @Ninja2789 that they ride pretty high on the wrist. I also caught them at Wind-Up, and enjoyed checking them out. I like them as something out of the ordinary. I have to commend the apparent quality of the attachment mechanism and the variety of strap options.

Klock-2


Plus an E.W. for size reference...

 

Thanks for everyone's opinion!

 

Cool design, but not my cup of tea. If I was going to buy a watch like the Klock-2 I'd opt for a Lord Elgin Chevron Jump like this one.

 

Love the Lord Elgin.

Klocker is funky but not my thing either.

 

Not my thing either. If I was going for a "disc" watch (which I'm not) hunting down a Seiko SCBS007 would be at the top of my list
