Fratello Talks: Can A Case Back Make Or Break A Watch

from Fratello.com Hosted by Fratello Watches

The case back is easy to overlook. After all, it spends most of its time pressed against your wrist, hidden from view. But turn a watch over, and the case back can reveal a completely different side of the design. For some collectors, a beautifully finished movement behind a sapphire crystal is one of the best parts of owning a mechanical watch. For others, a solid case back is the only appropriate choice, particularly for a tool watch. In this episode of Fratello Talks, Nacho is joined by Timo and RJ to discuss one of those seemingly minor details that can have a surprisingly big impact: the case back. More specifically, the trio discusses their feelings about display case backs, when they add something to a watch, and when they might actually take something away.
