Clerc Hydroscaph H1 Watch
Here in the watches-dealer watch dungeon, we are currently putting the new for 2013 Clerc Hydroscaph H1 watch through our rigorous watch testing procedures. So a hands-on review of the H1 will come in due time, but until then we'd like to share the news about this new three-hand version of the Clerc Hydroscaph, which is the H1.There will likely be a few versions of the H1. This is the steel model with a really lovely metallic blue dial. I wouldn't have thought that a bright green trimmed minutes hand would have worked, but it does.

So what is next?
I repressed my Panerai obsession to long. At one point I had four and went down to two, now back to 3 thinking about 4.233, 424, 449, 249, 372 (if I had the wrist).
