Good review. I've nearly bought the salmon version but then the price went up. An appealing watch despite flaws.

Very nice find, I had no idea there was a Chinese made jump hour. I guess Vario has one but I'm not sure what movement they use. I just wish they had polished it to better fit the dressy design cues.

I think the name is WAY better than 99% of AliX watch brand names 😂. Parnis, Rdunae, Berny, Parnsrpe, and many more

They really should have made the open circle on the minute hand go directly over the hour number, totally missed opportunity there.

I like jumping hrs & these are quite attractive , under $100 a its worth a punt but i'd much rather it just said Merkur or their logo other than that bs name & tbf it looked good on wrist , & how was comfort btw with stock strap & overall case dimensions Ivan ?

I just got the salmon dial and it’s very nice. Mine came in different packaging.

What kind of packaging?

@rndmgoon

10 ай бұрын

They only send this specific packaging to KZreadrs doing reviews for them. Anyone else purchasing watches they come in what looks like a zippered glasses case. Also guessing this was “gifted” to the reviewer following the review.

@PerthWAtch

10 ай бұрын

Is the other packaging better or worse? Not sure if this was “gifted”, but more pertinent is what’s your point?

@rndmgoon

10 ай бұрын

My point is it should be made clear in videos of the watches under review if they have been purchased directly or sent in to the reviewer and then kept as payment for the review. It’s confusing for the consumer to know if they will get the exact same deal or something else. In the case of Merkur (from what I’ve seen) they send the leather pouch to reviewers only unless purchased separately. Everyone else usually gets the lower quality zippered pouch. Apologies if you paid for this from your own money. It’s just not clear from your review.

@PerthWAtch

10 ай бұрын

If the issue is just the difference in packaging then I wholly disagree. They never advertised that and therefore can send whatever. It’s the watch that needs to be consistent and as advertised. Besides, it’s the word of one person telling me that reviewers get different to others - no way to confirm and more crucially, it’s simply NOT important.

The way they did the manual is a good idea... People will see the different watches they have available... Good way to advertise...

Fair point!

It is an interesting & "NICE" watch for anyone who is partial to a jumping hour automatic. As you said, I love the boxed crystal (would have been much better if it were Sapphire :+) well designed dial & hand and case back design. However, as a dress watch, it is bit too thick. This watch being a manual wind, I am sure that they can get it down to 11mm or even less with flat or "less boxed" crystal. That really would have been nice. As for the strap, of course, you got to change that out to a better one. Thanks again, Ivan. take care.

@PerthWAtch

11 ай бұрын

Thanks as always Alex! I totally agree they could’ve and should’ve made this thinner. Shave a bit off the crystal and the case and get it to around 11mm and it’d be sweet.

It's a shame that the case doesn't match how good the dial looks , as the dial is great.

When you do see other jumping hour watches, they are invariably far more expensive than the Pierre Paulin. I am amazed at how cheap this watch is, but it doesn't look like a cheap watch it's a nice looking interesting watch. One that I might be interested in purchasing. I have seen a couple of reviews now, and they have been pretty positive.

Yes, I agree, it does not look like a cheap watch. There are other options available that are not too expensive but this is probably as good as it gets in terms of sheer value.
