Introducing the Defakto Kinetik
Defakto is a German watch brand known for its commitment to minimalist design. Alongside Limes and Archimede, Defakto is owned by the famed Ickler family, who has been in the business of producing high quality watchcases in Germany since 1924. Defakto was founded in 2009 by Raphael Ickler, whose minimalist vision has guided the brand since day one. In the past, we've reviewed a number of different watches from Defakto's catalogue, among them the Akkord, the Akkord Modular, the Eins, and the Detail. Each watch was expertly executed, punching well above their weight with impressive fit and finish. Last week Defakto quietly revealed their newest watch��the Kinetik��and it's the coolest one yet, boasting a design ethos that exemplifies simple done right.The Kinetik comes in a 3-piece case housing an ETA 2824-2.

So, I was watching an auction that just ended on ebay...Is $287 US a little on the high side, or did these start appreciating very rapidly over the last couple of year.261708928443 was the auction number.

US Price Increase - August 1
Got confirmation today from my AD that prices are going up in the US on August 1. No word on the percentage increase.

Blown away!!!
I wanted this exact watch as soon as I clapped eyes on it as part of the 175th anniversary collection releases. Some thought the P was going to be the only one to have, yes it's nice but it left me feeling a little cold. For me the warmth of the rose gold coupled with its beautifully clear dial was the one I wanted. I am thankful to me dealer for putting my name forward and making my dream come true, and privileged to be one of the limited few lucky enough to own one.John

Spoke to my AD about Tudor and Rolex new releases...
He doesn’t expect the new Tudor models until August and already has a list for the GMT. Big Big demand for the GMT. He said the GMT was going to be difficult to get. As for the Rolex Pepsi. 22 people already on his list. Many moving from Batman to Pepsi. He said if you want one, you are likely “years” out already. And it’s just day 1.
