My first watch from a microbrand.
I was looking for a "hand-wound pocket watch on a strap" and this is exactly it. The tilted dial is surprisingly practical since a lot of the time I'm either typing on a computer keyboard or riding a bicycle, and in both cases the dial is aligned perfectly to read the time without moving my arm.

Lovely watch! I always thought the tilted dials were for wearing on the inside of the wrist. Either way sounds like it worked out for you.

Never heard of the brand before, looks quality.

I mean they were. But you can wear a watch any way you like.

The brand is actually just Ivan from Singapur and his wife Judy.
They used to make watch straps and then branched out into designing mostly retro-inspired watches.
So the watches are made in China, the movement is Japanese.
QC and regulation are done in Singapur and are absolutely top notch.
And the customer service was the best I've ever experienced with any purchase.
