At £300, Meca-Quartz Makes Sense

Added: 2026-05-18

[00:00:00]I got hands-on with a Farer Lander in New York recently at the Time and Tide studios. So, watch the channel for more on that in the coming weeks, by the way.

[00:00:08]But, here's where the price conversation kicks in. Because once you get into Farer Lander money, personally, I want a mechanical movement, and I expect one, and you don't get one with them.

[00:00:19]But, at £300 on Kickstarter, though, the VK63 doesn't feel like a compromise at all. It feels like absolutely the right decision. It's sensible, it's honest, and entirely in keeping with what this watch is trying to be. And look, there's one more point worth mentioning here.

[00:00:36]You're getting 100 m of water resistance here. On a chronograph this elegant, this compact, and this easy to wear, that's genuinely useful. And a lot of watches in this lane don't give you anywhere near that.
