Brew Metric Owner Review : Different, unusual and fun

A spur-of-the-moment purchase upon its release, after reading an article on Fratello Watches, this Brew, a collaboration with Teddy Baldassarre, aims above all to offer a more discreet and refined version of the original Metric, thanks to a more understated color palette. The objective is achieved: the watch gains versatility while retaining Brew's strong DNA. The 36mm case looks more like 38mm to me, largely due to its "square" shape. The thickness is adequate, nothing more. The build quality is good, with a well-executed case and a legible, balanced dial that fully benefits from the harmonious color choices. The only drawback, in my opinion, is the strap. Its quality is decent, but it pulls a bit on the hair, and its shape is too pronounced for my taste. I prefer tapered straps, and here it's a bit too much, slightly disrupting the overall harmony. Fortunately, the watch works very well with other straps. Here, in this case, is a Fixoflex-style bracelet on my 17.5cm wrist. Go on, I'll say it: with its lines and color, it can create the illusion and, to some extent, evoke a Monaco… or rather, a Seamaster Jedi. Overall, a coherent and successful collaboration, designed for those who appreciate the Metric but are looking for a more wearable, everyday version.
