Beautiful watch.
Awesome write up. You’re punching in a price point above me, but I appreciate your experience with different marques and the ridiculousness of the (lack of) customer appreciation despite the willingness to drop five digits on a watch. Nothing better than seeing business owners passionate about their creations. But! Has it passed the “freezer” test? |

I think this thread is going to cost me a lot of money! I’ve been reading everything I can find about the Antarctique and starting to plan how I might get one later in the year. I do hope they come up with a micro adjust clap though.

I’m planning on 2022 to get an Antarctique. This year I’m waiting on my Snoopy 50.

Not the freezer quite yet, but it has been found at the bottom of the bath... Quote:
I love the Snoopy, and that new Speedie movement is a knock-out. What spec are you planning on the Antarctique? |

I'm thinking either blue dial full red seconds hand and blue rubber strap or white dial with red tip at 12 removed and plain steal seconds hand with grey rubber. I have time to decide.

Mine says hello! Agree with the review! Awesome watch. I’ve owned the 5711 as well as AP Jumbo and this watch is truly as good but honestly has a much more technically advanced and beautiful movement! It’s so unique Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Absolutely beautiful! Most of those cropping up on social media tend to be the blue dial, and understandably so. The wrist-rolls really demonstrate the way the colour and finish plays with the light.
I'd be really interested to know how the 99-piece Terre Adelie release split colour-wise. |

You are missing the point mate. There are only 4.95 black inks out there. Thats the real unicorn ...unless you account for 0.91 Orion Nebula “Cosmic Flame” which is for sure not for sale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm not a big fan of the white rubber. I like the blue or grey rubber strap more. At least in pictures.

Thanks! I love it on the white rubber, but must admit that would undermine the idea of an everyday all-year watch. In the summer it'd be fantastic, though, and you could wear it on bracelet the rest of the year. |

Great review!
The watch itself has parts that I like a lot (movement), find quite nice (bracelet and case, minus the bezel), and others I find soso (dials and bezel). Agree there are similarities with the Vacheron 222 except for the bezel. Very nice watch overall, but it also leaves me a little cold. Among the new sports watches the Moser Streamliner looks more exciting in my eyes although the movement is less interesting there and it lacks the date. |

Great review, thanks!
Wish I saw this write up last year. Just went to the website and shows "0 pieces left" but then let's you pre-order. Do you know if it's still possible to order? I think I need that glacier blue dial

I think so... The company's amazing to deal with, so I'm sure you'd get a definitive answer if you shot them an email.
