Horologically Unique HU-02 (Classic / Silver Speciale) — release discovery
Singapore indie Horologically Unique’s HU-02 turns Robert Cart’s 1920s Chronoscope pocket watch into a lugless case, with the strap attached under the case. The Classic (naval brass) and Silver Speciale (316L stainless steel) share a modified ETA 2824-2 automatic movement with a custom wandering jump-hour module (the hour shows in a moving window while a ring shows the minutes). Horologically Unique lists 38.0 mm diameter, 38.0 mm lug-to-lug, 11.5 mm thickness with domed crystal (10.1 mm without glass), 18 mm strap width and 3 ATM (about 30 m) water resistance — Fit: Low risk on a 6.5 in wrist.

- 6 in wrist: Low risk
