OUr Take

The Äonic Automat is truly a one-of-a-kind watch. We like it for many reasons, but foremost, the Äonic Automat is not meant to be a delicate piece, it is a tool with a purpose. Anything predominantly made by Damasko is ultra-durable, and the Äonic Automat is no exception. The ultra hard case with scratch and abrasion-resistant DAMAST coating, Sapphire Crystal, and fixed spring bars make the Automat extremely durable. The design and function of this watch make it a joy to use daily. The smaller-sized case, strap interchangeability, and ultra-legibility make it an incredible everyday companion, from suit and tie to hiking boots and ball cap. It's refreshing and exciting to see this kind of innovation both technically and design wise in a market steeped in similar trends and traditions.

MADE IN GERMANY

Jörg set out to make this watch predominantly in Germany with the help of some of the best German engineers, watchmakers, and producers. The case and movement are made by Damasko watches, a brand we know and love here at CW Watch Shop. The movement, a Damasko A26-1W, has the torque, reliability, and dependability to move the discs on the Automat without any issues, even though the discs are much heavier than traditional hour, minute, and second hands. The case, also made by Damasko, is unique in that it perfectly matches the domed sapphire crystal.
