أرشيفيو أونو - المرجع. 502 - شوكو روز

Orologio veramente raffinato in tutte le sue particolarità ricorda i modelli di una volta.

Very nicely finished dress watch. The two-tone dial of the Choco Rose is quite distinctive and the colours are more noticeable in the metal. Finishing of the case, dial and hands is excellent. The vegan leather strap is good quality and becomes quite pliable after a few wears. Had the watch for 2 weeks and is currently running 7 sec fast per day, which is within parameters for the movement.

Watch was delivered to me in the UK after 4 days from ordering online (would have been 3 but UPS missed a flight en-route).

Comes with an outer cardboard box and an inner travel/presentation case (both in brown), the latter well-finished. There's a certificate of authenticity, credit card-type guarantee card and a booklet on how to wind and change time of the movement. I also received a travel pouch in a velvet style but that may have been an introductory item only.

Overall, I am very impressed with the watch and packaging and for the price £800+ UK VAT (less 10% discount code available in December 2024), it's good value for the high quality and the Swiss movement. I have a number of premium brand watches which cost 2 or 3 times more for equivalent quality. A 5 year guarantee is also useful. I look forward to further models from the brand.

Bear in mind if buying from the UK, the online price is exclusive of UK 20% VAT and the courier will invoice you for the VAT and a small admin charge before delivery.

Things for Trematic to consider: I would make it clearer that the watch needs to be registered within 15 days of purchase to validate the warranty (details in small-ish print on the warranty card); I may have missed it but a picture on the website of the box, travel case and accessories might be useful; the instruction booklet for the SW200 movement isn't quite right for this model, given it refers to unscrewing the crown before winding/moving the hands but this model does not have a screw-down crown; a matter of personal taste perhaps but offer optionally a medallion-style caseback with the Trematic motif embossed.

Elegante, raffinato, dal sapore antico. Finalmente qualcosa di nuovo tra brand che scopiazzano i soliti modelli.

Romantic at the heart when you wear this beautiful timepiece. Dinner time wear. Dial and Case craftmanship is excellent.
Waiting for next watch design. Hope they will continue their good work.
