Watchlords

Another watch has arrived from one of our favourite British brands ahead of their latest Kickstarter – how does the WT Author No.1968 measure up?

Case and Movement
The fact that the WT Author No.1968 is a quartz watch will put many potential buyers off, but there is a mechanical version at additional cost. For what it’s worth, the movement is a Swiss quartz, but I personally do not see any greater value in Swiss battery-powered timepieces over those from anywhere else. They’re all more accurate than the best mechanical watches and pretty much all have the same ticking second hand that enthusiasts seem to dislike.

That's a mess.

$500 quartz watch - good luck with that...............

Meanwhile, from the reviewer

The WT Author No.1968 is a very wearable watch and makes an ideal grab and go option for my collection.

I can’t see myself buying one had WT Author not kindly provided this review sample free of charge.

Yeah, when I look at watches I often think, "Not for me, but I can see how someone would like it." Not that thing. It's pretty awful.

That's so fucking bad I can't even bother to hammer a Cabriole table leg up my fucking ass.
