I've owned this high quality watch for about a half a year and it has been my most frequently worn watch out of my small collection.
As of August 2024, this has been my favorite watch for a variety of reasons.
Here's my Vintage watch review of the 1815 chronograph watch by Skov Anderson.
Chronograph 1815 by Skov Anderson
Arabic Numerals vs. Roman Numerals
The simplicity of Arabic numerals (like 1,2,3,4,5 etc.) prevent any confusion when looking at the face of the watch at any time of day.
No matter the rotational orientation of my watch, there's no confusion about which hour the hands of my watch are pointing.
1 hour Stopwatch
The top button on the right hand side is the start button for the stopwatch.
The stopwatch lasts for 1 hour of time.
The small dial at the top of the watch measures each minute until the hour has expired.
The skinny "second hand" (pointing to 12 o'clock) measures each second for up to 1 hour.
Reset the stopwatch
The button at the lower right hand side of the watch is the reset button for the stop watch.
The reset button instantly points the "second hand" up toward 12 o'clock where it rests stationary until the stop watch begins again.
Chronograph watch with long, skinny hands
The thin hand points with high precision, the exact position within each minute belongs the present moment.
The 43mm diameter accentuates the precise point at which is the current time.
The combination of these two details is primarily why I purchased this time piece.
About 2-3 minutes and 42 seconds have elapsed above.
The lower small dial represents the "second hand" in current real-world seconds, being 55 seconds to the minute.

For writing checks, I could not live without having a date indicator on the face of the watch.
