New Cigar Watch

[El Presidente]

 

I am generally not a fan of "Cigar Watches" 

.......that trend continues. 

 

 

La Palina x Accutron Collaborate on Limited Edition Humidor Spaceview

The cigar maker has created a custom blend for the collaboration.

Accutron has partnered with cigar maker La Palina for a limited edition Spaceview watch presented in a custom humidor.

 

The Accutron x La Palina Limited Edition Spaceview 2020 – the first watch powered by electrostatic energy – uses accents in the familiar Accutron green against an open-work brown dial with light green luminous indices as well as hour and minute hands.

 

The American cigar brand – revived in 2010 -  has also created a bespoke Accutron cigar for the project, using a blend of tobacco from Nicaragua, Honduras and the Dominic Republic rolled at the El Titan De Bronze factory in Little Havana, Miami. Ten are included in the hand-crafted Nicaraguan humidor, along with a cigar cutter.

The Accutron x La Palina Limited Edition Spaceview 2020 timepiece is available now as a limited edition of 222 pieces via Accutron, priced $5,000 USD.

Certainly more tasteful than the last few cigar watches I’ve seen.

Oh Lord, that is one ugly watch! The dial looks like a bicycle being mounted by a penny-farthing. 🤣

Agree totally. It's bloody awful

I like the design and over all package.  Not a buyer for it, but certainly more compelling than a lot of other different watches out there.  Sweep second and step minute and hour is cool.  Accutron a has an innovative history.

Not a fan of that.

$5000 for a watch that's hard to tell what time it is...no thanks.  As their website says, it's not a timepiece, it's a conversation piece.

I will stick with my 1969 Rolex Datejust hand me down. Still looks brand new.

I like the watch. Plus it's a bargain that it only costs about the same as about 5 single BHK 54's in the current market!
