This Watch Will Shock You
I am the proud owner of an Aethelsohn Blue Shard. In my opinion, this watch is worth twice what they're asking for it. The finishing, materials, the PT5000 movement, and of course the 3D dial, all hitting well above their weight class at this price range.
This is my first PT5000, and I can say the wind is smooth, but it's not an NH35 just 7 good turns and you oughta be good to go don't overwind it.
I love the attention to detail on this watch. The line down the center of the branding is perfectly aligned with the line down the center of the 12 o'clock indices, and right on down through the axis of the hands and the 6 o'clock indices. Extreme precision. The light blue metallic/slightly purple hued inner track really adds a mystical, icy glow around that crystal icicle shard pattern dial. The blue lume is more than sufficient for this style of watch, and only adds to the value proposition thereof. There is a lot of clarity to the crystal for viewing the dial, as well as through the display case back. The polishing on the hands and indices adds even more shimmer to that dial. If you're not looking to get noticed, don't wear this watch.
This watch wears very comfortably on my 7.25" wrist, and I think it would suit a range of wrist sizes. It can be worn with either dress clothes or street clothes effectively. The finishing, particularly on the underside of the clasp where it counts, seems almost impervious to wear. The micro-adjust is very nice, though I sheepishly admit it took me a minute to figure it out.
I cannot overemphasize the beauty of the dial, and I cannot say enough how much I believe Aethelsohn watches to be worth far more than the asking price. I think it would be wise to buy their watches now while they are this price, because who knows what the future holds. Compare this watch to pretty much any watch you bought on AliExpress. Compare this watch to some of your microbrand watches you've paid $400-$1,000 for. Check out some videos and pictures online. I'm sure you'll be able to discern the truth for yourself. You're an intelligent person. After all, you are a watch person...
