Numbered Limited Edition to Forever Commemorate the 2024 Total Eclipse in the United States.
Guild Mechanical V2 Manual-Wind Swiss Movement. Regulated & Certified In-house.
This watch is very well made, keeps great time and has the classic good looks I was looking for. I have watches that cost a lot more that are not as accurate. Best value in the watch world in my opinion.
I always read up before buying a watch. Admittedly, online reviews are either really good or really bad, with lots of caveats, while at no time giving an accurate picture. I own Farer watches, EPOS watches, Henry Archer, Studio Underg0g, one Longines Spirit, and now this Cincinnati Guild watch.
With those brands of watches you can see my price point - less than than $2.5k. I target the movement, country of origin, and the history of the timepiece, then I find a face of theirs that I like, often leading to no purchase. I like what I like. That's my methodology.
I was quite reticent to purchase an American made watch (because I'm an American) but in this case the movement is a Swiss SW210, and installed into an American case performed by what used to be the Gruen Watch company. There's a wonderful and rich history to explore!
Apart from being a little on the weighty side, I find no flaw in design or execution. The dial style is very old-timey. The dial color way is snow white with a black hour track, no date, numerals like my EPOS Timeless Retro watches, and lume on the hour/minute, nowhere else. The complete thickness is 10.39mm (measured).
The packaging is on the lean side, which doesn't deter me from another purchase. I don't store my watches in the original packaging anyway. It rides a little high, even though the thickness is ~10mm because the bezel is larger in diameter than the caseback but this also fine to me.
Lastly, I suspect I'll need to regulate this as it is already running 8 seconds slow. This also in not a deterrent to an avid watch wearer. O really this was a wonderful and surprising purchase. I'm already planning another hand wound watch from Cincinnati.
Bought this watch for my birthday and I absolutely love it. The colour is very cool, looks exactly like the chocolate brownie ice cream I had from Ben&Jerry. The quality is great and it’s easily a cool everyday piece. I have a small 16cm wrist and this watch looks perfect on my small wrist; the size is very versatile.
I have no personal ties to Cincinnati other than owning 6 Cincinnati Watch Company watches. For me, they are a true gem in the watch world. The P40 has excellent dimensions and like each watch from Cincinnati Watch it is such a solid build with exceptional movement regulation. Customer service is also first class.
Having never been to Cincinnati, it's strange I now own two watches from The Cincinnati Watch Company. That should speak for itself. This model is a real treat, with perfect dimensions and it's so rare to find a genuine aviation link timepiece. Keep up the good work
Love it! Beautiful timepiece. Glad I found this great watch company. The packaging is even top notch, along with the personalized Certificate of Quality Assurance!
This watch is a real eye catcher. The finishing on the case is excellent. The movement performs you would expect a regulated Swiss movement to. I can’t believe that Cincinnati Watch Co can offer a product of this quality at this price point. I will be looking at their watches in the future and will definitely acquire another!
Nice watch. Very good quality for the money with a regulated SW210 elabore movement. Dressy but not so much that its unwearable anytime.
Great watch. Appealing design, premium feel, perfect size, and reasonably slim. I saw no deviation in timekeeping over a week of wearing. You'll probably want to replace the band, but if you like how it looks online, you'll like this on your wrist.
