    This was an awesome interview Chris. As I said before, Farr&Swit isn't exactly my cup of tea in terms of design. But mad props to Adam and his company. This is exactly what microbrands should be. A person with their own vision making something niche that nobody else makes and doing their utmost to make it the best way they can.

      Couldn’t agree more Andrei! I think they are worth investing a little more money than into another known brand that are putting out “bland” or been there done that designs. I love what Farr and Swit are doing and their watches are really well made, and the cool/unique factor on their designs are a real draw for me.

    She's a fine looking timepiece! The good folks at Farr & Swit make some really nice stuff. I do agree with you regarding the rubber strap. I'm not a huge fan og the NATO either. On certain watched I'm ok with them but they're never my first choice. Hope you are well Chris!

    That's a very nice watch. I have the same solar movement in a motor racing themed Pulsar Chronograph, of course Pulsar is owned by Seiko. I can say that the movement is absolutely accurate and reliable and really does stay alive for a long time. I can't remember the name of the movement itself as I don't have it with me now. As it's in this watch I definitely recommend it. It would also look great on the black leather strap with red accents I had made for my Orient Panda Chronograph. It's definitely a watch that you'd look at and then have to look again because you forgot to check the time.😁

I just had a look at it now on Calibre Corner. You are 100% correct, I definitely have the same movement. Seems to be the only choice available. Good luck with the watch, it's absolutely gorgeous!

    I purchased the Vice 2.0 this morning for pre-order. It actually looks better than the original. I used the code and got it for about $480.
    I would normally NEVER, EVER, EVER spend that amount of money on a solar watch, considering I buy mostly vintage watches, but this watch is SO cool. Nothing else out there like it. I made an exception.
    In all honesty I'll bet if this watch was brought down in price $75-100 and mass produced and marketed well, it would sell like hot cakes.
    This is such a cool looking watch. Great job on the design!

    One quick question Chris, can you adjust the chronograph hand and the chrono sub dial if they get out of alignment. I know some meca quartz can and some can't. On another note my helm khuriburi titanium arrived last week.

      Based out of Illinois and all watches are USA assembled so you are getting great qc, they are a little pricey but you get everything you are looking for, solid watch, warranty, lume, great case finishing, and from an American company may affiliate link get your 10% off any product.
