RGM Watches: True American Timepieces

It is a *** and elegant way to strap such a huge watch to your wrist, and the deployment clasp is light and easy to use.PackagingThe packaging for the St. Moritz Aeromax is a *** black leather box with a cardboard outer box. I was expecting more given the price and the classy look of the watch. Were I to make one suggestion to St. I would be very interested to see the watch in a 42-43mm size, and possibly in a stainless-steel finish. If you like the look of this watch, and you're not afraid to wear them big, it is definitely worth the $300-$350 price point.By James StaceyUpdate from Christian (9/4/07): I got an email from Simon Pennell, CEO of St. Mortiz, with some interesting new information on the Aeromax:They are working on improving the longevity of the luminous material. They are already using very high quality material (Superluminova), but the dial maker is working on a way to apply a thicker layer without messing up the raised Arabic numbers.The packaging that James wasn't very fond of has already been discontinued and replaced with the much nicer brushed aluminum box you see on the right.Moritz, it would be to offer a nicer set of packages, and possibly a strap removal tool to help new buyers size and fit the rubber strap, which, incidentally, needs to be cut down to the diameter of your wrist.SummaryThis is a nice watch that St. Moritz believes will appeal to the traveler. It has everything that a good watch should have: it's legible, elegantly ***, and has interesting and functional complications. Note that it's a sizable watch, however, and not suitable for narrow wrists.
