Xeric Halograph II. Limited Edition Silver

You’ll rarely find an actually high-quality watch that began with a Kickstarter campaign, but that’s the story behind the Xeric Halograph II. Xeric Limited Edition Watches wanted to surprise fans with something truly cutting-edge and innovative, and people liked it—they really, really liked it. Comprised of an uber-cool, holographic display, halo hands, and a Miyota 82S7 exposed balance wheel, the watch comes with an aesthetic that makes The Matrix seem like a total nuisance. As to the rest of the components? Xeric swears by using only the best: straps made of full-grain, Horween leather in a conveniently broad range of shades, a stainless steel case, and an automatic rotor using the kinetic energy of your movements instead of batteries.
