For anyone debating whether they should go ahead and purchase a Holzkern product, do it. I spent two years going back and forth on this watch, debating whether or not I should buy it. I waited so long---built up such a high expectation---I felt there was no way the product could live up to my standards. It exceeded them. The quality of the look and feel of the product is unmatched. It is my first luxury watch, and many of my next ones will also be from Holzkern. Many of my family and friends have expensive watches, and almost all of them have complemented my watch. Of course, me being a klutz, I dropped it within the first five minutes of taking it out of the box. Picking it up off my stone kitchen floor, there were no noticeable scuffs or marks. I was astounded; I'd shattered a few phone screens from that same drop. After further investigation, I found two minor scuffs. They are barely noticeable. Holzkern is the pinnacle of quality without being overly expensive. I am more than satisfied with the product I received and will be (and have been) recommending them to everyone in my life.
