Second Hour Mandala

[thesingularity7]

A few months ago, I reviewed the Second Hour Gin Clear Diver, and I was very impressed by the quality that they were able to deliver for the money. The dial was beautiful, and the quality control was quite good for a sub $500 watch. But since then, my eyes have been on this watch - the Mandala.

The Mandala, like all other Second Hour watches, is inspired by sacred geometry. I believe the word Mandala is Sanskrit for a circular object with other geometric designs within it, to aid in spiritual meditation. But if you know someone who is into psychedelics, they've probably got a few of these on their walls too. This watch is designed to be an everyday sports watch, and I believe will launch at $420 USD (nice...) and will have an eventual retail price of $560. Given that their last Kickstarter project was a success and resulted in a lot of very happy customers, I think this will follow in a similar manner, and is likely to be even more popular than their diver.
