In-house movement, under two grand. Yes really
By Dave Kowalski, Chicago ยท
Here's the headline: the Damasko DK30 has an in-house movement, the A26-1, and costs about $1,950. You'd usually pay double that for a manufacture calibre from a German brand.
39 mm, 9.95 mm thick, 200 m water resistance, a hardened steel case, flat sapphire, and a display back so you can see the skeletonised rotor. Matt black dial, no date. 42 hours.
Downside? Looks. It's a plain black three-hander, and if you want flash, this ain't it. Also, buying from Germany means exchange rates and possible import fees.
If you want tough, thin and genuinely made in-house, it's one of the best deals in watches. I'd wear this to work and not worry about it once.
