I think About Vintage came close, but ultimately for me, missed the mark on this Seconde Seconde collaboration. The dial was interesting, but About Vintage did not highlight that the "1" in "1956" is scratched out, playing on the 10th century motif. Too playful, because it looks defective. The bezel has no practical use, so it might have well been "fixed", it was also sharp on the edge. Legibility is useless in the evening. The hands are shaped like swords of the era, but at least could have a stripe a lume. The date placement was fine. The Bonklip style bracelet is light and thin by nature, but this makes the total feel of the watch too top heavy. It was also sharp on the edge of the links. The Miyota movement of choice is what was really disappointing. If it were a quality hand wound movement, it would have gone along with the vintage vintage feel there, second seconde. 499 is just way too much, for this watch, even if collecting pieces from Romaric Andre. Not for me, but the return process was fast and simple. Good communication from the AV team.
Vraiment une superbe expérience!!! la montre est magnifique et de bonne qualité…et parlons du service client qui est très professionnel et réactif
Je recommande fortement !!!
Merci encore
I am very pleased with my 1844 Chronograph wristwatch. I ordered the black and green straps. The straps are easy to remove and install, making this watch a versatile wardrobe piece. I would recommend this watch; love the craftsmanship and the overall look. I searched through hundreds of watches to add to my collection and am very glad I chose About Vintage and their 1844.
Novel watch. I like the design. At the same time, what would possibly have been better would be to have more contrast between the hands and the dial. . . Also the date window is just way too small to be useful.
This is a beautiful watch perfectly crafted with a stunning design. The company has an amazing customer service. I highly recommend it.
Fast delivery! Very nice packaging and very nice box! The product looks very valuable at first glance! I hope that giving it as a gift is as fun as ordering it :)
Very nice design. Great quality. I just wish the watch hands would be slightly thicker, other wise all five stars.
It is my second purchase from About Vintage. And the watch is really beautiful and the size is perfect.
I now have 5 About Vintage - my favorite collection
The suede strap totally looks different from what you guys advertised and that what it got my eye , in the other hand I really loved the steel strap and the watch . The engraving looks messy too
hi, did my second purchase as the other one is 4 years old, so a Christmas present to myself as a token of my superb behavior towards myself this year
Excellence in every respect! Such an alluring timepiece’s example to complement every gentleman’s wrist! (Although I do already have trouble keeping my wife’s hands off it)
Nice watch collection and great service, I wish you all the best.
Amazing watch, very good quality, fast shipping and love the engraving. Happy customer!
I had to pay extra fees to DHL - charged me almost the original watch price, and only approx 20% were related to Taxes. Talked to About Vintage and they only said “its a DHL process”.
When I finally received my watch, there were no engraving - which I paid for.
Terrible experience.
Will never buy from About Vintage again.
