Brew's Metric Digital Blend: Retro Style Meets Digital Functionality
Brew, a New York-based watchmaker renowned for its retro-styled timepieces, has launched the Metric Digital Blend. Priced at $425, it's available now through Brew's website and is not a limited edition.
The Metric Digital Blend features a stainless steel case measuring 37.5mm x 43mm with a thickness of 13mm, which is thicker than expected but still wearable. It boasts a sapphire crystal and 50m of water resistance. The watch comes with a stainless steel flat-link bracelet secured by a folding clasp.
The analog section of the watch sports a '70s nightstand clock aesthetic, complete with glowing hands and hour markers. The digital LED espresso timer, activated by holding down a pusher, displays a 30-second countdown with an animated coffee cup. However, its versatility is limited as the espresso timer is locked to 30 seconds. The movement is a custom analog-digital quartz module, likely quartz-based.
Brew, inspired by the espresso-making process, produces budget-friendly watches. The Metric Digital Blend is Brew's first hybrid display watch, combining an analog ticker with a digital LED espresso timer.
The Metric Digital Blend by Brew offers a unique blend of retro style and digital functionality. While its espresso timer has limited versatility, the watch's robust build and glowing analog display make it a standout piece. Priced at $425, it's a budget-friendly option for those seeking a distinctive timepiece.
