Negative, just me being crap with phones….it’s a bit lose and spins…so might need another fettle

Ever since I was a kid, I've always been fascinated by the moon and thus I do love a Moon Phase Complication on a watch. In fact it was what drew me in on a Montblanc Heritage.

I've been looking into micro watch brands, in particular, British-designed but Swiss-made. Farer has always been on my radar since they launched, but for some reason their quirky colours/designs have never really done it for me, until last night....

I've ordered their new release Moon Phase Manual and I've gone for the Halley with the brown/tan strap. Whilst I dont believe they will be a limited edition, the first 100 will be numbered (they'll probably all be numbered when they've sold the first 100 and release a second batch) but I love it.

It wont ship until the 27th April, but I am excited for it to arrive!

Very nice. Love the detail on the side of the case and the moon phase looks great.

Farer seem on top form at the moment, they are designing some really good stuff.

Farer are good people too. I don’t own one but I imagine I will sooner or later.

At least 1 poster on here does. They post in wristcheck fairly often.

Yup, chuck_ster has one.

I tried to source one for my 40th but the supply was non-existent and had waiting lists.

Not sure if supply has improved recently.

I'm pondering whether to send my Omega piece of junk that packed up after just a few years to Omega for a service, or buy another Farer instead. I'm really liking the Mansfield.

That would be my pick of the range right now.

Love that dial colour.

What model is it? I can't find it on their website.

ETA - Actually just found it. The site assumes a degree of knowledge about the range that I didn't possess.

Every time I come to this thread I find some more watches that I *need* to buy! I've never seen a Farer in the flesh, what are they like? They seem to be in the same space as CW, so I assume a similar quality and finish?

Farers are great.

This is one of mine. Lovely watch with it's ceramic bezel and fun colours. Finishing is excellent.

The Sellita movement is a bit basic, and you can feel a bit of slack when adjusting it, but easily fixed or replaced if it goes wrong...which it hasn't!



And this is the other. Gorgeous, stepped dial, in a finish reminiscent of high end card. Lovely raised numerals.




I'm considering a third! Cayley pilot in blue.
