I have had the Ricochet for a few weeks now. Initially I was unsure of it. But after a few weeks of wearing it, i really do like it. It gets heads turning and starts conversations and the price point makes you wanting another. I’ve tried various strap combinations and they all look completely different.

The unique dial is so striking. The 22ct Rose & Citron Gold Robots shimmer in the sunlight and make this model really pop. Telling the time however needs a keen set of eyes, as the display window on the pinball machine is quite small. You do get clear instructions with the watch explaining how to tell the time, as its not always obvious. They are all very easy on the eye and are so customisable with a huge array of 20 strap colours to choose from. An engraving option is also available.

I’m not as keen on simplistic the case design and the lugs cut away making it look quite fragile. On a larger wrist, it does’t take up much retail space, as the 37mm case wears smaller. Perhaps a different case finish and thicker lugs may help, along with a wider strap. These are only my opinions, but regardless of that, they are amazingly popular. You’re never going to please everyone and why should you try. Making a watch like this simply makes the wearer smile.

Each and every design of watch has a story behind it and a unique way of telling the time. It could be moving circles, numbers on the dial or even a cow and UFO aligning. They are all so very different and really quite collectable, especially when you consider the price. Starting at £195.00 they are amazing value for money.
