Project 0 - Wandering Hour Watch

There are a couple of negatives. First, the mother of pearl dial on the Nebula is not very smooth and has visible elevated ridges. Second, the power reserve is terrible, averaging about 16 hours. Overall, great looking watch design representing good value for the wandering hour complication.

I've been looking for a wandering hour piece that isn't huge for a good while now. I'm very happy with my Project 0, it looks amazing and wears well on a 6.5" wrist. The design queues from the Webb telescope are a great touch and the nebula dial is the icing on the cake. I don't think there are many options around at this price point for this overall level of design and finish.

The Project 0 has been one of those watches that surprised me by just how much fun it is to own. Initially, after decades of reading conventional hands, my reaction was almost, “This is fascinating, but I can’t read it with my old eyes!” Then something wonderful happened — I learned its language. Before long, a quick glance was enough to understand the time, and that process became part of the enjoyment. It’s extremely comfortable, visually distinctive, and the lume is frankly ridiculous — transforming the watch in low light and perfectly complementing its futuristic character. What I particularly appreciate is that Project 0 offers something genuinely different. It isn’t trying to impress through a famous name or an exotic movement; the value is in the concept, design and experience it creates on the wrist. In a collection containing watches at many different price points, Project 0 has earned its place very simply: it makes me smile, I keep looking at it, and there’s nothing else quite like it.
