Any views from connoisseurs on these?
I like the look. Is it just a fashion watch?

Indeed re Perception range but the DD and those around 1 to 1.5k 'seem' like decent timepieces. I do like the look of the DD1.

ETA. My £ to CHF conversion a little out! CHF2500 equals £2125.

Feels a bit "Kickstarter."

My thoughts with a mid-range ETA movement. Still like the style though!

Looks nice but not sure i'd pay that much for an ETA movement, plenty more established brands and cheaper out there.

£26k for the Perception. Hilarious. I'd love to know what the residual value is. Probably £0 because you could never sell it.

7 months wait after payment!

It looks different, other than that....

It’s not exactly readable either is it?

Dietrich have been around a few years now.
The OT series was certainly around 5 years ago. Quite interesting and quirky.

Like the fact it has an ETA movement, you know it will work, it has been tested for decades and is easily serviceable. Preferable to an “in house” movement that has unknown reliability or longevity. Genuinely not sure what “in house” adds to the buyer?

Quite an interesting design, like the case and shape but have a loathing of dials with bits of movement poking through.

I guess the issue is that if it's an ETA movement, how can you justify charging much over £300 or whatever that the likes of other manufacturers charge with a standard ETA movement?
