Union Terminal Mechanical Watch, Gold (PVD)

A stunning watch held back by its strap.

The case and dial are truly impressive, and it’s a pleasure to wear something so distinctly tied to Cincinnati. Photos simply don’t capture its presence on the wrist. That said, the included strap does not meet the same standard. The vegan leather has a plastic, suede-like texture that tends to attract dirt, and the buckle can occasionally pinch during wear. The watch itself is absolutely worth owning, but I would plan on upgrading the strap for a more comfortable experience. Including a metal bracelet similar to the one offered on the V1 in this revision would have further improved the overall product. Even with these reservations, if presented with the choice again, I would still purchase this watch.

The watch looks and feels fantastic. I really enjoy the Union Terminal clock style because it brings back memories as a child traveling by train with my family.

Great Idea for a Watch

I've been fond of interesting watches for several years, and I really appreciate this one's local Deco and historical lineage. Who doesn't love Deco? The watch is handsome and has a workhorse Swiss movement. Two thumbs up.
