Product Description
The Trifoglio Italia Millimetro is, in a word, dynamic. A rotating dial watch with an automatic movement, it looks like a puzzle to crack open a vault of treasure Read More
The band stinks litiraly, i had to vant it out side for several days to acualy be able to try them on with the watch.
the watch itself is interesting but not as easy to read as i thought at first.
not worth the money
unique look, fun to challenge have friends try to read the watch
The quality is not the greatest, but its good, doesn't really have that quality weight to it if you know what I mean.
Besides the watch is really cool, once you know how to read it its actually pretty intuitive and easy. The best thing that happened for me is that when I showed my friends they just were like WTF is that and how the hell do you even tell time with it.
Always get comments on this watch. The movement is unusual and quirky. My only suggestion is that if you have bad eyesight, this might not be the watch for you.
The numbers are very cheap! The movement appears to be accurate. At first glance, this looks like a nice watch, but when looking closely and under the magnifying piece on the face, the numbers are fuzzy.
I collect direct reading watches: those that use dials instead of hands to indicate the time. This Trifoglio Millimetro joins an AVI-8 Pegasus and CCCP Alexsandrov in the collection.
OK, so what's great about this watch? I absolutely love the analog slide rule with OCR style Arabic numerals. Maybe that's because I'm a computer scientist by trade: this design bridges the state of computation from WWI (slide rules) to the Vietnam Conflict (digital computers). The thin black concentric circles at the edge of the seconds and minute dials along with the color toned reading "notch" complete the slide rule look.
Also, Trifoglio doesn't let overt branding ruin the design. The logo, again color toned, is subtle. So are the words "Trifoglio Italia Millimetro" around the logo. In practice, one never really perceives these as branding as they are out of the way of the reading "notch." The only other branding on the watch is the word "Automatic" which moves and also thus is almost imperceptible.
OK, what's not to love? Execution. This watch was pictured as pink rose gold. In reality, it looks like regular rose gold. I has hoping for the pinker variant. But I love rose gold, so this is OK.
Second, the PVD plating is uneven. In the photo gallery, I've uploaded views at three and six that show brown splotches indicating the coating was quite uneven. Some would find this unacceptable. I'm glad to have this as artificial patina.
Third, the movement. This Miyota 8125 is non-hacking (although seconds does stop if one holds the crown when setting the time), has a noisy rotor, and a rather uneven seconds dial travel. These are all features of older Miyota movements. Apparently Trifoglio sourced the least expensive 8125s they could find for this watch. Since all of these idiosyncrasies do not impact a direct reading watch as much as a watch with hands, I'll give them a pass.
What about customer service? Well, our Drop watches come with a guarantee card with a Trifoglio dealer stamp. The watch came without a Milanese bracelet slider (see the photo gallery). Trifoglio immediately sent out a tan leather strap and promises to send me a replacement rose gold bracelet after the next production run. After explaining the problem and sending some photos, there was immediate remedy with no fuss and no hassle. It doesn't get better than that.
Four stars since this watch does have some idiosyncrasies that might bother some collectors. I'm glad to have purchased this from Drop at a great price. Recommended.
I have to set the watch again when I wear it - even the next day. It's cool looking but expected more. I would return it, but don't see how to do it. This is my first "Drop" purchase. I'm not sure if I'll make another purchase here.
