As someone who routinely has their watches regulated between services, I'm hoping this is widely adopted. I'm just personally not a fan of the MB&F Mad Series-esque styling.
For me as fan of regulation extreme close to the mechanical possibilities of a movement, this is a game changer.

The design thrills me: Horage mounted the movement backside up to show the new regulation! A fantastic idea. Lange und Söhne should copy this idea - they build the most beautiful movements and the most ugly dials 😆

It's not Lange level, but Horage actually hand finishes the Cotes de Geneve quarter plate.

AW is respected and a nod to Sartory at a more manageable price.

Was able to pick this up pre-owned for the price of a Tudor. 9mm thick with a platinum micro rotor. Chronometer in house movement. Hour hand can jump to reveal a GMT hand hidden underneath it. Really nice micro adjustment in the clasp. Horage is doing some really cool stuff.
I've never heard of Horage, but I'm now a fan. 39.5mm x 9mm is absolutely perfect. Congrats on picking this up and I'll be on the lookout for a gently used one.

Do they declare the full price 3k something on the package?
They declare in HKD. Full amount. Idiots at customs thought the HKD was USD and taxed me on like $24k USD or something. Currently fighting them now. Only happened once with fedex. Didn’t pay duties with DHL

Crap! That sounds incredibly frustrating with customs. I really hope your dispute gets sorted soon. It's good to know DHL might be a safer bet to avoid such nonsense. Just to clarify, did you choose the shipping method (FedEx/DHL), or was it decided by the seller?

In my country, customs also assume foreign currencies are euros! If they declare the full price, those dumb fucks will tax me 100%. It's ridiculous. Definitely need to avoid that

I don’t recall. I bought my first one and my wife bought the second (not knowing I had the first LOL).
