Horage Lensman 2

The Horage Lensman 2 is recognized for its innovative photographic exposure calculator bezel and legible dial, making it a functional tool for outdoor photography. Reviewers highlight its well-executed 39mm hybrid titanium and aluminum case, COSC-certified K2 GMT movement, and overall good sizing. The watch is priced at CHF 5,450. On balance, reviewers rate the Horage Lensman 2 highly for its unique functionality as a camera tool combined with its luxury micro-rotor GMT features.

From video reviewers

The K2 Micro-Rotor Calibre is a key innovation in the watch. The watch's prominent lug-to-lug fit may be noticeable compared to other watches. Reviewers disagree on the importance of the sliding exposure scale on the bi-directional bezel, with some considering it a unique feature for photographers and others not explicitly mentioning it as a notable aspect.

RGM Watches Model 455 Classic Chronographs

Owners praise RGM Watches for its American craftsmanship, rarity, and old-school quality, with some finding the designs mesmerizing and aspirational. The tele and tachy scales are noted as brilliantly done with pure vintage coloring, though the smaller time-register contributes to a diminutive appearance. Some owners find RGM watches special and unusual, appreciating direct interaction with the maker, while others find many designs boring. One owner reported a negative experience, finding their RGM diver "horrid," while another "loves" their RGM 801-COE SW. On balance, owners rate RGM Watches highly for its unique American craftsmanship and bespoke potential, despite a high price point.
