So I am now into "extra time" with the Filip & Co. Cleveland Westside Gold.
And what I've been noticing more and more are the details. I have already commented on the dial - which is one of the nicest "sunburst" dials I have seen up close in some time.
But as I often have said, it is the cumulative attention to details that will often make or break the overall impression we have about a watch. In this particular instance, the crown is a very, very good example. While a lot of other bigger and (no offense) richer watch brands and companies out there will simply do a basic laser engraving. But not so with Filip & Co.
There is a true depth of field to the crown, with the logo clearly rising out of the main space of the crown. This will not "rub off" over time.
Likewise, with the case. The side engraved "Filip & Co". Where other watch companies slap a "plaque" on the side (which often falls off), the Cleveland's case itself bears the message.
And the strap! Alligator, with a 20 mm lug width.
The finish is first rate and the stitching is immaculate.
All in all, these little details add up to a wonderful total.
And in terms of time keeping? Holding at +8 seconds!
I will be wrapping this up tomorrow - but I must say that Filip Blazevic has put something really special together here.
Stay tuned!
