I perceive not so much of fans on this brand, but I do like the Globetrotter, the overall design just stunning..

Globetrotter is amazing.

I saw someone with the Time Pyramid in this forum not too long ago.

I'm eyeing the HMS1 with gray dial.

The dial and movement finishing is simply amazing. Very much in the A.Lange and Patek's level of finishing.

Just surprised this is not more common and popular.

Mirror finish round beveling is a feature of haute horology and not typically found even in higher end watches since it needs to be done by hand for many hours to get the best result.

Phillip Dufour's simplicity is the best example of movement finished to this degree but at a price and exclusiveness that is beyond most of us. Waiting list is years.

That's why I was excited when i saw a watch costing very little relative to that Dufour's with such a feature in Arnold & Son.

Move to about 0:50 and see what I mean.
