Damasko is bringing out some more over-engineered lovlies ...





I don't know which movements Damasko will use - probably ETA for these - but here's a gratuitious picture of Damasko's in-house movement (taken from Mike Stuffler on WUS):

More importantly (for me!) they are finally making a bracelet smile

Yeah, I heard a rumour that Damasko was finally bringing out that bracelet. If it's anything like the over-engineered quality of their watches, it will be a remarkable metal bracelet. I imagine it won't be cheap, thanks to Damasko's ice-hardened steel, but it would be fantastic to have a bracelet that really is scratch- and ding-proof.

Lack of bracelet was the only thing that stopped me getting a Damasko.

I actually prefer the standard 36 / 37

^^ Agreed, the chapter ring/inner bezel doesn't do the watch any favours.

Good the see the emergence of their own movement though, and the bracelet option should win them some more fans.

Isn't the new Damasko ice-hardened bracelet due to be announced this week or next month? confused

As for the new DA363 and DA373 models, am I the only one who prefers them over the DA36 and DA37? I guess so!

As for Damasko's in-house movement, at least I'm far from alone in liking it a lot thumbup

Just not a fan of the designs - the concept of the hardened steel is all great, but...

The inhouse is a handsome thing though.

Not enough chronographs for you Yeti smile

Damasko offers far more than ice-hardened steel. All the watches possess lots of engineering innovation, such as its patented crown system, gaskets, etc.

I guess the designs are somewhat "tool watch" or perhaps Bauhaus in some cases. Personally I prefer German design over Swiss, but it would be boring if we all liked the same designs.
