You can not imagine how pleased I am with myself. Beer O'clock. What's more this idea came to me the day after a Singletrack podcast where we discussed how tough it is to invent new things in the cycling industry.

Contours are Todmorden... Because that is the centre of the world and "Todmorden Mean Time" is a now a thing. Everyone has had a mean time in Tod'.

Ahem. The hour markers aren't parallelograms. They're trapeziums.

Yes. Date dial is inset between 4 and 5 on the dial.
There are strap options. But Charlie can fill us in on those.

Very tempting despite me not needing another watch. Nice job!

To @merlinman's comment, this looks and describes very much like the Holton Professional ( https://elliotbrownwatches.com/collections/holton-professional/products/holton-101-001-r06).

Any chance of an automatic option?

Filled in the interest form. Is there a ‘thanks for expressing interest’ email sent afterwards? Or just the website acknowledgment?
