I already have two watches, am not a collector and had not yet zuzulegen before me. But things turned out differently than expected. By chance I discovered the unknown brand "Urs Auer" and the TO-611 Alpine Glow Chronograph for Him SWISS ISA by Urs Auer. There much to me now: The clock has what. Black dial me orange hands and indexes - this elegant, moderate size and a, with orange to match the clock, stitched leather strap. Out of curiosity, I ordered it. Amazon and its contractors pampers its customers with speed and literally two days later met already a well-wrapped package a. The first impression is well known, of the remains. And my first impression was "wow!" In natura the clock actually looks even better than in the picture. The Orange is a bit darker than shown, but still with a brilliance that can be an eye-catcher the clock. The deficiencies as described in some watches that the indices were not exactly upset I can not confirm: They fit perfectly. The large second hand, which is intended only for the stop function is, precisely on the Twelve. So no recalibration! Particularly surprisingly, I find that the small second hand that moves along steadily, runs in quarzuhreigenen second intervals, but to stop the time, the large second hand moves smoothly like an automatic. Toll! The leather strap makes a solid impression, is to act without glossy kitsch and adapts in his Black the dial to. The hour and minute hands are ideal sized and not too broad or too narrow. They can be easily read even in dim light. There are problems only when almost no light is present, because the pointer does not reflect and are not in fluorescent. This can be neglected like, because you seldom in the embarrassment in the dark having to read the time. A ray of light, there is always somewhere. The watch case is polished stainless steel and high gloss. It therefore fits very well with the overall impression and untertreicht the valence. From her impression conveyed to me the clock, the design is very consistent. I see it as a symbiosis of sports and discreet men watch for the office and social occasions. It makes easy to wear fun, it looks good without cluttering to act. On the arm 10mm height fall not on and the diameter of 40mm fits well to the slightly narrower wrists. The weight of 75gr. is completely unobtrusive, you can feel the clock barely. For me, as a friend of lighter watches, which is a big plus.
Nevertheless, I have only awarded 4 stars. The folding clasp is slightly oversized. You could certainly a bracelet a 300gr. Clock close. This makes them quite thick when closed, but does not interfere further when worn. But what bothers me is the relatively short strap. Someone with thick (!) Wrists should get into trouble. The folding clasp holds the bracelet then while still secure, but the end of the tape is not enough far enough through the two tabs and then is off. Thus one should be somewhere remain hanging. But for smaller joints, it is still okay. Is resolved unfavorably that the tab through which you threaded the strap immediately after the closure has been attached too close to the folding clasp and can not be move. A second tab is also available, but you have the bracelet only thread through the first tab, otherwise creates a thickening and it looks at this point does not look good. When you create you have to look a bit exactly so. Finally, I feel the length of the handle as a matter of taste. You might like to be 2mm shorter and have a clearer pressure point.
Although my Kitik not "promotional" reads: Here I have allowed myself to complain about at a high level. For 99.95 clock it not only looks great, wears very well. Who can make friends with the butterfly buckle, which has an eye-catcher on the wrist, no question. (You could, for example, later times take another bracelet and already the problem would be solved.)
I do not regret the purchase, they like to wear and would like to see that Urs Auer gaining notoriety.
