Does anyone have one?
I think they look great, and an AP is rather out of budget.

Cautious on taking the plunge as it'll ultimately be an everyday wear watch and I'm not sure on how it'll hold up at work if I'm occasionally crawling around machines, if not office based for the majority.

It's a lovely thing, the Aikon. I came very close, but went with a Formex Essence in the end which, for me, was a tad less 'blingy' (and COSC).

I know there's somebody on here who has both, but can't remember who. frown

Me I have both the Aikon and the Essence the cosc version

I can see me moving on the latter but not the Aikon and it’s stunning imo. BUT it’s highly polished and does mark easily so much less tool watch than the Formex

I bought the quartz chrono version a while ago with a large discount at retail.

The case had really good finishing for the cost, nice beveling and polishing. It does catch the light well and will likely draw attention if you like that kind of thing. The deployant clasp was also extremely well finished with micro perlage inside the clasp so good attention to detail.

Unfortunately on arrival the watch had slightly misaligned chrono hands and the retailer didn't have another model to replace it with. I decided to return the watch and put the money towards another watch.

I would be tempted again but automatic only, I would be looking for a significant discount on retail.

Had this in my collection for about 18 months, it was a gift and I didnt wear it for almost a year, but it does get an outing now and again. I do like the style of it and its well made.
