New Zealand microbrand Magrette, has
built quite a loyal following these past few years by making
attractive, affordable watches, and delivering them with an extra dose
of outstanding customer service. Your very own Time Bum is among these
them. My Regattare Bronze and PVD Moana Pacific Chronograph both hold
special places in my collection.
Magrette has typically gone for
large, 44mm bowl shaped cases, reminiscent of the Panerai 1950, but it
seems they are ready to break that mold with the announcement of the
Leoncino (Little Lion). The new watch features a sporty 42mm barrel
case with a distinctly 1960's style.
The dial will be familiar to
Magrette fans with its 12/03/06/09 layout, but closer inspection reveals
a sandwich dial with cutouts for the remaining markers. C3 Super
Luminova will be used on the dial and hands. The crystal is double domed
sapphire. The display case back will be DLC with anti finger-print
coating and laser etched Magrette text. Timekeeping duties are entrusted
to the Miyota 9015 automatic. Black and tan leather straps and a new
signature watch case complete the package.
The Leoncino is expected to arrive in November. Only 667 will be made. You can view more drawings here or pre-order here. The price is $625 plus $30 international shipping.
