When you have a great formula and then tweak it to perfection.
this is the watch you want in your collection.

I've got the Lunokhod and an Nixie and I wear both but I find the Lunokhod is becoming more a daily wear as it's a little easier to tuck under a shirt or top .
Don't get me wrong I love the Nixie very much it's big and bold .

The lunokhod Max strikes a great balance, it's a little bigger than the lunokhod , very slightly taller ,the face has a magnified appearance by the glass , the tubes been spaced apart a bit more make it a little easier to read at a glance .
Arabic numbers are used this time but I actually liked the Roman numerals.

Details remain the same with an additional battery indicator up front, on the back the clever magnet charger and meteorite slither , a nicely machined titanium lightweight case , the addition of a swiss micro crystal chip on display.
I maybe wrong but I believe the lunokhod has one too but it's hidden . Either way anyone who notices this watch will stare at it for a good few moments before asking about it.

Set up is easy , little magnet as before and off you go .

Couple of notes, the strap I got was really nice, Tan leather with three holes running either side , the other straps that are supplied are great but my watch is a little different, it's a Max with the Stephans quintet case and it certainly suits the watch design.

The tan strap makes it pop even more.
So big thank you to Den and the Niwa team who have been nothing but Stella with communication and delivery.
One of the best I've dealt with.

As a watch goes , it tells the time in a way no other does , it's simplicity suits me fine , I love the looks and intricacies of it's circuits on display.

So the Max has become my favourite in my collection it lasts about 6 days battery wise mainly because I'm always looking at it or showing it off.

A local where I live asked how much it cost so when I told him what it's made from and have a guess he thought about £2000 so I'll leave it at that .
Great watch that deserves its praise.

Now I've heard that Niwa are developing a desk clock with some very clever features ....needless to say I've asked to be informed on availability but if they can shrink that tech one day into a watch .... Niwa are already set apart from other brands they really are one of a kind!

It's no wonder watch finder lists them along side the most prestigious brands in the world when it's comes to doing things differently.
