I just received the Horage Autark Hv. Fantastic piece. I bought it from the Limited Edition where they specialize in independent brands, and this is a true independent brand, not a micro brand. It easily compares with brands 2-3 times the price.

Laser edge? Here I was, thinking it was "laser etched", but hey - what do I know 😉 Beautiful watch and if I were looking for something in this price range this would definitely be a contender. Unique look and I don't dislike the power reserve indicator. My biggest gripe is actually the text saying " Silicon escapement" on the dial. That's pretty unnecessary in my opinion.

I was loving these watches, very interesting crystal, nice lume and dial. Even the movement looks ok, decent power reserve and good beat rate. The straps look a little cheap and plasticy but you can forgive a micro rand for that… only thing that drove my ocd wild was the overlapped/double stamped looking power reserve indicator, looked kinda botched but then you dropped da bomb! 💣 over $2500!? Jeez, that’s Longines, Oris and Rado territory, hardly a micro brand. Way overpriced, I don’t care what movement or where it’s made.. Nah, man, that’s a bridge and a half too far. 😉😂😂

Because rado's popularity in USA is way lower than india. The marketing team for some reason focuses more on asian countries

My initial reaction was, No. Then OK, well maybe? Then, when you got to the price it was NO again. Not the price itself, but just the fact that for that money you've got a lot of choices. I think I've got a couple vintage watches in a box somewhere that have faceted crystal (acrylic probably) it's not a terrible look, but it would likely work better on a square or rectangular (tank) watch.

Thank you so much for bringing some spotlight to horage! I do not work or get paid by them at all. I am just super impressed by them. If you like this, I hope you can take a look at the horage supersede when it releases in December/January time-frame. I have had my pre-order in since March for the supersede and I can’t fudging wait! Supersede - In house, sub10mm thickness, 200m, micro-rotor, on-the-fly micro-adjust clasp, GMT. I mean, come on. After spending time watching the project come together with the periodic hour long live streams Andi and Landon do every month or so, I want to see them succeed. They are doing something off the beaten path that deserves success The dial on the root beer has definitely caught my eye though. It’s perty.

For any watch enthusiast out there, please go to the Horage homepage and take a look at the insane journey we (customers) are participating in, while we are all „coworking” on the Horage Supersede :) To be honest, the Omnim is ok, but Array, Autark, Multiply are in my opinion superior, and the new Supersede will be the best medium-priced GMT on the market, and it has a fracking Platinium Micro-Rotor ... c'mon you have to love Horeage if you love watches.

Interesting watch from a manufacturing standpoint, some solid specs too. However, I absolutely hate that crystal . It does nothing IMO but introduce tons of glare, and I think beyond the fact it screws up usability, it is tacky as hell. Reminds me of some fashion watch brand really. That is all subjective however, so I can understand if others like it. What is not subjective though is the price level this watch comes in at, and what that means its competitors are. For $2500 you can pick from too many other well-established, or even historical brands, with what I'd say are more attractive offerings. Love to see interesting stuff like this covered on the channel, so please don't stop, but yeah -- to quote the great thinker and philosopher, Randy Jackson, "it's a pass for me dog."

I think the people who don't like power reserves just don't like this style of power reserve. It's so ugly, nobody likes em on the grand seikos either, it's like a 4:30 date window, it can look good but usually it just ruins the feng shui. Nomos has cool power reserves and I usually like the A Lange Sohne ones too. The whole thickening spiral is pointless, if you just keep the hand and remove the spiral and make up represent full power and down low power you achieve the exact same thing without this shape that compliments nothing
