Welly Merck - Classic Washington

So, a month or so ago I received an email out of the blue from the Marketing Director of Welly Merck asking if I would do a YouTube video for them. So I did.

At first glance, the style makes me think of a few of my Skagen watches. So much so, I spent hours trying to find who is behind the brand. Could they be part of the Fossil group, or possibly Swatch? Well, it turns out no. From what I can gather they are a Kickstarter company.

First impressions are, it's rather nice looking. I asked them to send me anything, other than gold (I hate gold). After looking at their site (www.wellymerck.com), this is the one I was hoping to receive.

The first thing I noticed was the crown at the 4 o'clock position. Different, but certainly not game changing. There's also a lack of second had and date indicator. 

The second hand I can live without, but the date indicator not so much. I have one other watch without a date indicator, but as I only wear it at weekends, it's not often I look for it. I am now on day 2 of wearing this watch, and already I've glanced at it half a dozen times for the date. Grrr.....

In exchange for the unboxing video, Welly Merck have given me a promo code to share with you guys to get 15% off! All you need to do is visit www.wellymerck.com and enter the promo code RANDOM15 at the checkout.
