Wilk Watchworks: The Numeral Wristwatch Review




Visit Wilk Watchworks to order this killer piece!
Oh, and there are photos at the bottom....


This large sized watch is stainless steel with a handcrafted niobium dial. Niobium is an elemental metal(atomic number 41) and has interesting colouring properties. To achieve the colour on these dials I run an electric current through the metal and depending on what voltage I use, the metal turns different colours. This process is called anodizing. Since many colours are available, I give you the choice of which colour you’d like. Please visit the niobium section to see all available colours.
Here is other pertinent information about the parts of the timepiece:
Size: your choice of 47mm, 44mm, 41mm diameter(excluding crown), 15mm, 11mm & 12mm thick respectively (44mm PVD watch pictured)
Case and Caseback: Stainless Steel(PVD coated stainless steel pictured)
Dial: Anodized Niobium
Crown: your choice of tapered or square stainless steel(tapered pictured, only option on PVD)
Crystal: Domed Mineral(front), flat mineral(back) are pictured(sapphire crystal is available for 41mm and 44mm cases)
Clasp: Stainless Steel, tang(deployment clasp for leather straps also available)
Movement: your choice of Asian or Swiss mechanical, hand wound(Asian movement pictured)
Strap: your choice of leather or stainless steel(pictured strap unavailable, sorry)
Warranty: 2 years
Note: For PVD cases, there is only one type of crown available. It is a tapered style crown pictured on all large size PVD cases on the website.

This large sized watch is stainless steel with a handcrafted oxidized copper or brass dial. The black minute marker ring, red hour markers, seconds ring, and logo are a luminous pigment (Swiss Super-Luminova) which glows in the dark. The white areas of the hands luminesce green in a dark environment. This watch’s strap also comes as pictured with black leather and red stitching.
Please note that if you would prefer to have this watch with a colour other than blue, red, orange or white can be made upon request with a strap that has colour matched stitching. If you don’t care about the colour matched stitching, a wide array of colours are available. You can choose all colours in the luminous colour choice area above.

Retrowerk German Diver - The Watch of Rapture.

Hey Guys,

Have you ever played the game Bio-Shock? If you have, you will easily be able to connect the dots on this one. The Retrowerk German Dive watch with compass is such a killer vintage, stylized piece, that is the only way I can really describe it. It is Bio-Shock-ey!

I love the styling of all of the Retrowerk models, but this one is by far my favorite. The size of the watch is massive, the presentation is impressive, and the finish is killer. The compass on this model is removable which is a great feature AND it makes wearing it a little more friendly. With the compass this watch is about 25mm thick! It's 17mm without the compass.

The case of this Retrowerk is 316L Stainless steel with a brushed Bronze finish that I love. I really want to get my hands on a Panerai Submersible 1950 with the bronze case... but we will have to get to that one later. ll of the Retrowerk models house Rhonda Swiss made movements and use high quality straps, buckles and components. In my opinion, these watches offer a killer look for the money, and a terrific quality for the $600 - $1200 price tag.
