It's stunning to me how this mechanical watch borrows its outside design from the Apple Watch. It's got a round mechanism, and yet it's still using a black square case with rounded corners [1].
I don't really know what to make of it, other than be impressed by the design impact Apple manages to have even in neighboring markets.
