Kuyl watches

Kuyl watches is a brand new Dutch watch brand that has just recently been introduced.
They are owned by Jan Jaap Kuyl who also designs the watches. Watches which are said
to be both modern, and classic looking too, and which can be customized by the customer.
Everything from the dials, and hands, to bezels, clasps, and buckles can be chosen by you
through their website. Some specifications of the collection include 44mm 316L stainless
steel cases that are designed by Jan Jaap Kuyl, and built in Germany, Sellita caliber SW200
movements with 38 hour power reserves, sapphire crytsals, 50 meter water resistance,
along with various dial, strap, and buckle options. There is also a display back which has
been screwed down, and also has different engravings in Dutch on it like the Dutch Motto
'Je Maintiendrai'. (I Will, or Shall Maintain)

Here are some pictures from Fratellowatches.com, and also Kuylwatches.com, along with

Glad that you like it Ron. I think they are very nice too sir.

That Hamilton Valiant you are looking at is outstanding also by the way ! ..The way the
dial is done, along with the hands is great. Really like the lines of the case, and how those
lugs blend in, and add to the personality of the watch. That's a beauty ! I hope you end
up picking one up in the future.

Nice, simple design from the casing to the dial. Reminds me of this Seiko/alba Riki Watanabe auto. Riki is Japan's most famous architecture designer, now in his 90s!

and a 2000 midsized Orient, auto/handwinder with display back too... simple dial design...

VERY cool Thian ! The alba/Riki is neat in so many ways. Seems simple, but actually is
very dynamic also imho with the way the black rectangular markers look against that dial.
Same goes for the hands, and how they play off of the markers as well. All of it is pretty
impressive. Even the cat is cool !

Your Orient is spectacular there too. I like how everything seem so precise from the hash
marks on the outer part of the dial, to the sharp edges within the markers, and hands.
It almost is as if the finish of the case is escaping through the dial through those different
hands, markers, and even 12, 6, and 9.
