Its Haemmer Time!

H-14 Haemmer 


First time i saw the watch it really caught my eye, it looks like something that U-Boat would manufacture. With a case of over 44mm it is a huge watch especially for an asian guy like me but that is why it is what it is,  a statement.

I bought this watch from WWII in 1MK for quite a reasonable price. A quick search on ebay and you will find people selling the watch for RM3k or more but search long enough and you will find that the going price for this baby is about RM1500 to RM2k.


What i really like about the it apart from its size (thats what she said), is its glass caseback which i do not know why looks really nice. I have other as well but this one has something different about it, maybe its the Japanese Movement or maybe its just the size. Yes it has a Miyota Movt even though it is German made. I am not a watch expert, as long as it looks cool i am fine with it. Yes i am that shallow but at least i am honest.  




Its really hard to find here in Malaysia and i think apart from buying it online you can only find it at WWII (where i personally have an issue with their after sale service). What i hate about the watch is that for a watch company that prides itself on being rugged and long lasting, they gave me a mineral glass (which the SA told me was Sapphire Cystal). Pardon my colloquialism but "Where Can!" i scratched the watch in first week of buying it and it took them 6 months to change the glass. (After a lot of complaints).


Check out Haemmer's offical website here. You know its German when you see a half naked guys there modeling their XL watches.

All and all, it is a cool watch but it you are a real watch enthusiast, you know the realy douche-y ones, you might want to skip this brand but apart from that it looks really nice.Having said that if you have a bit more money to spend you might as well get a U-Boat at Joma.
