As this watch is not Made In Germany, it will be shifted to the relevant sub forum

Plse refer to info sourced from Hodinkee

SevenFriday was officially founded in May 2012 by Daniel Niederer, though he had already been working on product and brand development for more than a year and a half prior to the official launch.
The dial clearly says "Zurich" between 3 and 4 o'clock, which we do find a bit misleading. As mentioned above, a Japanese Miyota movement powers the P1, and speaking with Mr. Niederer himself we found out that none of the components are actually made in Switzerland. Parts are sourced from a variety of suppliers around the world and the SevenFriday watches themselves are assembled in Hong Kong and China.

Personal taste and preferences evolve over years, hopefully not 1 full circle otherwise it means we haven't learnt a single thing.

there are also finishing issues on the movement as documented on another watch review blog.



i have seen the same on a couple of models that i molested here too.
perhaps its been improved by now, or perhaps not as i'm not too interested to check it out again as it's not a watch for me.

Interesting. Are the movement stock from Miyota or does Seven Friday do work on the movement?

i would guess its stock, i don't see what work if any was done on it, considering that nothing of it is showing except the heart.
and not sure if Seven Friday actually does anything except maybe over-see final assembly in Hong Kong / China / Taiwan / wherever its assembled?
and i think it was on hodinkee that they highlighted grammar errors on the wooden box?

anyway, the misleading 'Zurich' on the dial doesnt appear anymore on recent versions.

If the movement is stock from miyota, then it would safe to say that the irregularities on the movement would have been ex-miyota.

I just took delivery of a sevenfriday P3 last week.


As you can see above, the watch is HUGE..it is 47mm.  The TV shape makes it look bigger also...but that is one of its attraction.  I like the unique design of the dial. It is multilevel and non conventional. The case looks and feels solid.  The company claims that the casemaker is the same for Corum whilst the dialmaker is the same for TAG.  Movement is stock Miyota automatic with small second at 5o'clock and 24 hour dial at 9 o'clock.  To me, I like the overall design and for the price paid of below RM4K, I have no complaints  :)

This is not an ordinary Miyota movement where they make a case and put in it.
Look at how much details and modification done by Sevenfridays.
