I am greatly surprised that I find a Chinese alarm watch, first, it is a watch on mens wrist, but has the alarm function. I have never paid attention to alarm watches before, those big Swiss brands also seldom made alarm watches, I read one or two reviews, but never saw an alarm watch in hand before. Merkur is a Chinese watch brand that doing different things, not like many other Chinese brands that just know how to copy and make homage watches, after seeing a lot Merkur watches, I am in love with it more and more. And an alarm watch coming from a Chinese brand is really a big thing.
This is a very simple alarm watch, its functions are hours, minutes, seconds and alarm, no date. Merkur watches are cheap and usually sold at less than $150, but this alarm watch is a little expensive, more than $300, which is still much cheaper than those Swiss brands. The alarm watch is interesting, set the alarm, and the watch will really make a sound, all functions are shown on the dial that has a bit Bauhaus style, especially the Arabic hour markers of 6 and 12. The central red hand is an alarm hand that can be adjusted through the crown at 2 o’clock, check these red numbers on the outermost, you will know how to set the alarm time, and when the hour hand meets the long red hand and both on the same line, the alarm will immediately make a sound.
It is said that the watch is powered by a Russian alarm movement, which is Soviet Poljot 2612, I do not know this movement, but I think the watch is produced in limited quantity is just because the company can not get too many Poljot movements. The suede leather band just looks ok, if you do not like this type of band, you can change a new one in easy effort.
