The reasons for it is that the key details remain visible at this setting and it's symmetrical witch makes it more likeable to the human brain.

    I'm totally new as a fan of watches and I saw the Filippo Loreti commercial and smelled fishy instantly, but I was admittedly struck by the appearance of their watches, and so I looked them up.
    This made the search algorithms go nuts and I got a TON of Filippo Loreti ads the following couple of weeks. This made me certain that it was all bullshit.
    My logic is this: If I wanna buy a nice first watch, I should find a brand that suits me. If a brand finds me first and begs me to buy their watch, its probably cause its crappy quality and they wanna catch guys like me who don't know what to look for.
    In the end, I ended up going for a SEIKO Presage. Well known brand, good quality, and at a good price!

    Right on the ball with Seiko and similar brands. They have some high end ranges like Grand Seiko that imho absolutely count as luxury, but they don't go around calling their regular quartz models or their Seiko 5 range luxury.
    I have developed a real scepticism of anything crowdfuned in recent years because of all these watch companies who do kickstarter funding and then start a second or third one before they've even completed shipments to all the backers of the first one, they obviously don't need the crowdfund money, they're just greedy, as exemplified by them "cutting out the middleman" but just pocketing the extra savings themselves instead of actually providing a better product, Shenzen made by a Lithuanian based company but so much brand image that insinuates they're designed and made in the heart of Rome or Venice or somewhere.

    I ordered the Filipo Loreti watch in October, it arrived on February 19 .. I tried every way to contact them and I realized that the company has an Italian name, the website has an American telephone number, my shipment came from Lithuania, and the bank told me that the bill I paid from the Netherlands.
    For two months I was dragged away by how the shipment was lost in transportation, no one knew what happened to the shipment. Whenever I wrote by email, I always got an automatic message, and every 10th time someone else replied, while on the instagram page someone else answered again.
    I paid the price of the watch which stated that the delivery was free, however, they charged me another $ 25 for delivery, plus 30% of the total price for customs when the shipment arrived.
    Too bad experience in their business, where I was convinced that I would not even get an hour. But by some miracle he arrived. The watch is nice, looks good, while the chronometers don't work, they just stand there aesthetically. I think the real price of this watch is about $ 50, not anymore.

He fell for the commercial. After waiting 3 months they arrived. I asked to take a look and open the back. Just as you said it’s a Chinese movement. Both the automatic and the quartz! They didn’t even decorate the movement to even try to make it “in house” It was cheap and ugly and their lying to the consumer. And for the $500 he spent on two watches he could of gotten way better.

    I’ve seen way too many bad things about this brand like the watches falling apart days later, taking literal years for delivery, continually pushed back delivery dates and watches never showing up.... I’m sure you get the idea by now. Contrast that to the experience I had with Orient almost a year ago; ordered a Bambino from Orient’s website with a discount code and I literally had my watch 2 days later and no problems whatsoever. The only “good” thing about brands like this and MVMT is that they do get people into watches and if you do your homework, you learn that you can get vastly more for a lot less!
    I had an Apple Watch and the novelty just wore off, I much preferred actual timepieces, though my previous watches were Nixon’s, of course one day I saw on a TH-cam channel I follow, I saw a MVMT gunmetal grey chronograph with lovely light blue hands. It looked good and the price didn’t seem bad, $150. I love gunmetal grey as its the signature color of the BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R but rather then make a rash decision, I did my due diligence. Also I picked up on the comments section of the videos whenever that content was posted, this guy would continually get hate from it, not trolls but actually comments deriding MVMT. Plus when I actually had a closeup of the watches face, there were NO markings on the sub dials! None! What’s the point?
    Instead as my first proper watch I selected a Seiko SNK807, automatic with a day/date complication for under $70. Seiko quality indeed. I just picked up a SRPC91 with the lovely blue dial and my next acquisitions will be the SKX007 and the JDM green Alpinist. Glad I went down this trajectory rather then being impulsive!

    I am one of those average joes that was attracted to Filippo Loreti due to their slick marketing ads. And as much as you criticise the quality of their watches, you have to give Loretti credit for making what LOOKS like an absolutely stunning watch. I bow to your greater experience in saying that Loretti watches are garbage, but to a watch noob like myself, they look gorgeous. I don't wear a watch, because my big issue with watches is that they all look the same - i want a watch that looks cool AND different. Loretti watches do that - what other brand at a couple of hundred dollars looks as good as a Loretti?
    As i said, i bow to your greater experience in saying that quality wise Loretti don't stack up. BUT, looks are really important to me when it comes to watches, and to take an example, i checked out all the watches you linked as being really good, and while they may well be great quality wise, my big issue is that every single one of them looks the same - they have the same boring look that all watch brands have been churning out for decades. I want something unique that makes you think, "wow i haven't seen anything like that before, cool!" I hope i'm not sounding like i'm supporting Loretti, i'm not. Just querying if there are any brands out there which have the quality AND the unique cool looks of the Loretti watches...

    I just saw a Filippo ad. And the stink in the air was how proud they were of the $5M kick starter haul. That’s says nothing about the watch. And they used words like “Italian craftsmanship”. First thing I checked: what’s inside? And a mass produced Asian movement typical to knock offs. Then I found this vid.
    And the 150-300 buck price said to me: too good to be true. Yeah, the ad killed the watch before I even gave it a second thought.

    FL have recently released a line of 200m divers that give you options for a miyota 9015 or Sellita SW200 movement. And they’re claiming to use sapphire crystal as opposed to their previous sapphire-coated mineral. So I guess they’re trying to step up their quality. The prices inflate accordingly though.

    I paid nearly $300 for the Okeanos green in May , it's now almost December and it arrives from USA , not Italy.
    It's not in a luxury box , the box is printed cardboard. All this bullshit about limited edition watched now I see they're for sale for $199.
    I paid way to much for a fraud, it's not a sapphire glass face it's sapphire coated if that's even possible
    All this time and the assembly of the back, wow they couldn't even screw it on so the pressed sculpture is the right way around .
    Now to ad salt they're giving two watches for price of one .
    I didn't Google reviews before handing over my hard earned money for a $50 watch that I waited over 7 months to "hand make".
    I was sent two emails telling me my watch had been sent to the wrong person , note also not one watch has serial numbers or markings that they're even waterproof .
    It is not a $1,000 watch
    Funny thing is customer service kept apologizing then asking me to comment on service, ii don't know who you are making five star reviews but you are not customers .
    I didn't expect this review to be accepted by you so I m copying and pasting on other pages Filippo loreti you are a scam and not in Italy my watch was sent from your factory in USA.

    I'm sitting here looking at two lower priced watches that I own. One is an older JDM Seiko 5, that cost me $100 used, and the other is a Seiko Samurai bought brand new for $300. Either one is of higher quality than an MVMT or a Filippo Loreti. And I didn't have to endure a commercial where some guy with a bad accent lied to me about how/where either one was made. And Seiko was quite honest about where these two watches sat on the spectrum of luxury, which is to say , not at all. So yeah, they are inexpensive watches, but I don't feel like I need to wash my hands after touching either one, lol.

    I remember when Christopher Ward were advertising themselves as direct-to-customer over 10 years ago. At least they featured actual Swiss made components, even if the original movements included a lot of quartz. But then so do Tag.
    The whole direct watch selling industry seems to have exploded recently, with there being a real mix of purely marketing=led shitter brands and neat genuine micro brands doing something interesting..
    Just hope the interesting stuff gets better known.

    I have a small collection with only a few luxury watches (Omega, Rolex). I have and enjoy many of the brands you mentioned - Seiko, Orient, Vostok. Sadly, I cannot comment on the quality of FL, because after six months (after paying up front), I have yet to see the product! It's bad enough that they bullshit about their product, but their business model is brilliant. You either get an overprices pseudo-luxury watch or you get nada. Love the rant - wish it was longer.

    Funny thing, I'm here because, while working on TH-cam, I was rudely interrupted by a voice saying "you can get two Filippo Loreti luxury watches for just $99...". My highly trained muscles had received signals from my brain to click skip ad before I realized I was literally laughing out loud. By now my conscious brain had taken over and all I could think is "by the very definition of luxury watches, you can NOT buy two for $99." Does anyone really believe this s _ _ t ? So without a clue of how to spell Filippo Loreti, I typed in some letters to the google bar which got me there. Among the many purchased reviews were words like fraud and rant. Since I had just stopped laughing I came here to share my story which is ironically similar to the video. I also agree, that anyone CAN indeed purchase one and maybe even two "quality watches" for $99. My opinion would be to save up a little longer and buy a watch that said Seiko on it and it might last you a lifetime. What is impossible, is to believe that you could buy a new luxury watch for $99. Used, hopefully not stolen, it is remotely possible, but it would likely need serviced bringing your cost way up. Even fake luxury copies which are NOT luxury watches cost more than $99, but don't waist your time there either. Thanks for reading.

  • @kingrichardiii6280
    @kingrichardiii6280 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    just saw their ad (loreti). checked them out and like Federico aid they look nice. but the big red flag was on their site they said something like the owners were frustrated seeing luxury watches that were built under $100 being sold for $1,000's. I am not a watch expert, don't care about Swiss watches and bells and whistles most of the time, i just want a functional watch that looks nice. but you can't believe a luxury watch with the bells and whistles, and the loreti watches try to include bells and whistles, were made under $100. seems to me these guys are trying to capitalize on nice looking, cheep watches with these taglines:
    1. we are cheep because we cut the middle man
    2. we model ourselves on Italian design
    3. our pieces are "limited edition"

    I got a FL Venice automatic watch and to be honest I was quite happy about it. Miyota 9xxx movement; day, month, date, sun & moon complicated. Plus the accuracy and design are nice. It could be a great choice.
    However things that I don’t like are the word “luxury”, tons of emails about (perhaps) made up stories and ads, cutting middle man (although they are indeed middle man). That made me never buy from them again.
