Anyone ever handle a Gorilla Outlaw Drift?

First thing that comes to mind is what a stupid name.

The brand was founded by Octavio Garcia who used to design watches for Omega and most recently with AP for almost 2 decades.

The outlaw drift is a wandering hours with the movement being done by Vaucher who also do movement for Richard Mille

Engineered & manufactured by VAUCHER Manufacture
Sweeping seconds hand
White Super-Luminova™ on satellite discs & minute markers

am interested in this too - have been watching the brand for a while because it seems like a reasonably priced/interesting way to get a wandering hours complication.

if you haven't already seen them, ablogtowatch did some reviews of both the drift and the drift safari.

I think they're quite cool. Just to clarify - they are ETA2824-2 movements with a wandering hour module made by Vaucher.

Yep seen those a while back but prefer this version due to the black strap with blue inner dial

I just dont know what they were thinking with the company being named Gorilla and model Outlaw Drift. Makes the brand not sound series however this specific watch seems great and very quality

Never handled or seen one in person but perusing their website, their limited run Fastback Thunderbolt chronograph is an absolute stunner. Thanks for mentioning them. The brand and its founding is quite intriguing.

The brand and construction is quality from founders with great experience at IWC and AP but geez the name is horrific

I like it. Have loved the idea of a wondering hour for years but haven’t found one that is perfect enough on the wrist. At this price though…. And it’s a great size….
