The Halograph Automatic is a living time machine. You are the power source. The new limited edition Halograph Automatic features "halo" hands that display the time in an entirely new way. The Halograph is super easy to read, as the Halo Hands float over the four, dimensional, hemicycle time display arcs, they encircling the numbers for the time. The inner arcs display the hours, the outer arcs displays the minutes. It doesn't need batteries or updates to do its work while summoning compliments and sparking conversation everywhere you go. All it needs is you! The Halograph Automatic lives on mechanical energy. It's not an electronic gadget: it's a mechanical heirloom. Like the chambers of a beating mechanical heart, the twin balance wheels pump life into this complex time machine. Seeing the action of a living machine on your wrist gives a thrill no electronic gadget can. A smartwatch starts to die as soon as its circuitry is activated, and its functional obsolescence starts as soon as it leaves the assembly line. A mechanical watch will never be obsolete. It will always connect you in a meaningful way with this moment in time. With the Halograph Automatic, we think we've designed a v1.0 that 'nailed it' the first time, and will be as exceptional in form and function in hundreds of years as it is now. No Batteries Needed! The Halograph Automatic is powered by your daily life, storing up to 36 hours of energy from the movement of your wrist or by winding the crown. A beating mechanical heart pumps life through this complex machine. You can view the rotor generating the power supply for its mechanical movement through a crystal porthole on the back of the case. Unique Time Display The new limited edition Halograph Automatic features "halo" hands that display the time in an entirely new way. It is super easy to read! As the halo hands float over the four dimensional hemicycle time display arcs, they encircle the current time. The inner arcs display the hours, the outer arcs displays the minutes. Limited Edition! Each limited edition Halograph Automatic will be individually engraved with a number from 001 to 999. This is a singular opportunity to be one of the few people in the world to own a Xeric Halograph Automatic watch. Sapphire-Coated Domed K1 Mineral The high dome, hardened K1 crystal has a sapphire coating to prevent scratching. Sapphire is one of the most highly scratch-resistant materials on earth. Unique Colored Exhibition Window The Halograph Automatic caseback features custom-colored, movement-viewing window so you can see the rotor spin around while it generates power.

Cool Watch!
So far (just received), I am really liking this watch! The watch and black leather band all appear and feel like high quality. The watch has a good weight to it - not heavy but not super light. The dome shaped glass(?) over the watch face is really cool. Seeing the inner workings of the watch is great too! Thus far, VERY happy with this purchase!

I love it! Its stylish
I love it! Its stylish, I get a lot of compliments. It is a bit small to read but since I chose the white face with the red and blue hands you get used to where they are and readability is not a problem. I want to get more Xeric's in the future. I think they are just beautiful.

First, the good: it's a big, heavy watch, which I love. It looks great and receives a lot of attention.Now, the bad: 1) The windup dial is on the opposite side of the norm, not a horribly big deal, but there is no functional reason for this, and means taking off the watch to wind it. 2) The numbered dial is glued on, and fell off, floating around insides of the watch, 3) the watch was sent back to repair this issue, and when it came back...4) the dial no longer worked, the watch can't be wound, and it no longer tells time. For $500 I expect much, MUCH better quality than this. I had wanted to buy two more Xerics, and nearly did until all of this happened. I really don't want to take the time, AGAIN, to send it back, wait, and then hope it works. For a crowd-funded product, I suggest investing more into creating something functional and reliable, and not just immaculate looking. One Star.UPDATE: my wife sent the watch for repair (which was outsourced—boo!) and now that person said the sent it back two weeks ago, and it was placed at our front door. Well, they sent it to the wrong city, so it certainly never got to my front door.XERIC is a half-rate, poorly run company, selling a product they don’t service, and one that falls apart once the glue on the shoddy-built watch dries.

Attention Getter.
I bought one, but not on Amazon. It is a nice watch. I get a ton of compliments on it. The thing about it is that it takes a few days to get used to reading it. You can't see the time in the dark. It is kind of tough to see the time at a glance. However, it does get noticed a lot!
