echo/neutra - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

I had this Italian brand in my sights for a long time, but its presence in France is unfortunately quite discreet and I had never had the opportunity to see it and try it. It was at a watch fair that I was finally able to touch and put this watch on my wrist and it did not disappoint. This moon phase at six o'clock gives it its identity and its simple but successful aesthetic ends up setting it apart in the watch world. Its 39 mm diameter is perfect and the screw-down crown is also very successful. A beautiful engraving on the case back adds a bit of charm to the whole thing but its bracelet did not suit me. I was able to choose another one more in line with my tastes at no extra cost. Simple and discreet, this little one has a crazy charm. I am won over.

It was the slight resemblance to the Blancpain Fifty Fathom that immediately attracted me, discreet, elegant, it sits well on my wrist, the small details with the Dolomites at 12 o'clock on the bezel are judiciously well placed and the inscription 1956 at 6 o'clock are well thought out. This is the one I mainly take when I go on vacation. The only complaint I can make is the STP1-11 movement is designed to have a date, but it has not been modified for it. Too bad.

This is my first experience with a micro brand, acquired without having been able to see it or try it. Desire following photos on Instagram; I must say that it is a total success, a well-marked style and just a combination of toolwatch with a more mountaineering style and the touch of poetry with the moon.
