Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Solar Lab - Umbra single hand auto **24 hour Super Early Bird pricing**
Interesting watch. Not really my cup of tea, but fails for a couple of specific reasons:
- first, why use IIII instead of IV? It makes no sense. They have used IX for 9, so should use IV for 4. The usual justification for this is balance on the dial, but this doesn't apply here with the numbers on a moving outer ring.
- second, the direction of the dial should be the other way. The numbers count up right to left, but you read the numbers left to right, but then you have to go right to left to figure out the minutes. Ok, it's not exactly taxing, but it is sloppy and would have been solved by having the dial run counter-clockwise with the numbers going up left to right.
