Saturday on DL ran from a $71,562 Singapore tribute with a blinking Merlion in its movement to a Marvel villain’s watch, the day’s only discount. Between them sit a 300-kilo cargo bike, a face-changing 1965 watch and a rectangle 6.3mm thin.
The full day follows, prices and links attached.
The Merlion inside this watch blinks every twelve seconds
Anton Suhanov built the Flamingo Singapore Edition around an automaton, a Merlion worked into the hand-wound movement that blinks on a twelve-second cycle as the gears turn. Eighteen pieces, an 84-hour reserve and a price that treats the whole run as spoken for before it starts. The caseback puts the whole mechanism on display.
Minimal’s UK-made Pedal 4 cargo e-bike hauls 300kg in a 2.5-cubic-meter box
Minimal builds the Pedal 4 in the UK as a commercial vehicle that happens to run on pedals and batteries, with a 300-kilo payload and 2.5 cubic meters of box behind the cab. Two batteries return 60 kilometers of range, and the price is $13,870.
A 17mm watch from 1965 is back, and it changes faces with a click
Nivada Grenchen revived the Colorama as a 17mm gold-tone case just 6.75mm thin, sold as a set with three clip-on bezels and up to seven straps, so the face changes with the outfit. Every set also carries a Time Capsule heart pendant set with a 1.5mm diamond, at $695 all in.
Seventeen millimeters is a vintage size modern brands rarely touch, which is exactly why the revival works.
A rectangle 6.3mm thin, named after a Chilean lake
Anders & Co cut the AC3 Lago as a rectangular dress watch 6.30mm thin, with a curved sapphire crystal over the dial and a two-hand Miyota 9T22 doing the work inside. The green dial carries the name of a Chilean lake, and the price is $546.
Doctor Doom gets a watch before he gets his movie
Citizen put Doctor Doom on a 42.5mm gray steel case with a green leather strap, the J810 Eco-Drive inside running on any light it can catch. The run is 3,100 pieces worldwide, boxed as a set with a collector coin.
At $371.25 against a $495 list, it’s the only saving in today’s wrap.
