The R88 Series

From the creation of our brand, our goal was to create a watch with a perpertually floating, spinning bullet second hand. However, we quickly learned that this idea required a lot more effort to create, and factors being: weight of hands, balance, and the lack of power generated by its movement.Because of the many obstacles that we had faced, we initially settled on using the bullet as the hour hand, which we labeled the Q-series, first launching in 2015. Although satisfied with our release, we still dreamed of achieving our original goal, which we finally were able to do in 2019, after consulting with the industry’s leading engineers.Here is How the Spinning Bullet Hand Spins at 4x Speed:

The progression of the timeline goes as follows:In 2015, we released the Q-series watch. Version 2 of the Q-series came in 2017 as we improved upon the second hand rotation, aesthetics, and crystal height. Taking our knowledge, we were able to create the R88 in 2019. From the first prototype, we’ve vastly improved its lume distribution, bullet aesthetics, and overall presentation.

Because so much went into designing this piece, we made sure to add the best quality materials for every component used to build this watch. Here are the specs:

We will have 2 variations:——————————————————————Model A: The R88 with bracelet:

For the bracelet, we decided to go with Strapcode, the chioce amongst the most hardcore hobbyists, ranging from fans of Seiko to Rolex. For unbiased reviews, I’d recommend you checking out sites like Amazon and inputting “Strapcode” into the search field.

Here are some shots of the R88 on my 6.5″ wrist!

My wife actually really likes the sizing for her as well

——————————————————————Model B: The AR-1 with (Fluororubber) FKM Strap:

FKM rubber (otherwise known as Fluororubber) is among the densest and highest quality types of rubber used in the industry, as it is durable, comfortable, and retains its qualities over time. It is resistant to dust, stretching, fading, etc and keeps its feel even after years of use.

——————————————————————The lume was upgraded multiple times through the prototyping process, to create a bright and even glow, with our signature crosshair pattern on the outer edges of the dial. We’ve applied multiple coats of C3 Super Luminova to create a beautiful glow in the dark pattern.

The crown will be marked with the limited edition “Recon R” Emblem- this particular piece will not sell over 88 pieces, no matter the demand:

At a 40.5mm casing size, the R88 was designed to be versatile- both dressy and sporty. It’s an eye-catcher in all lights, as the dial pops and the casing reflects brilliance from its multi-chamfered contrast:
