I found this watch through Kickstarter and thought the styling was excellent. I was very pleased when the option to upgrade to the ETA 2824 movement became available as this is among my favorite movements. I received the watch a couple of days ago and I like it even more than I was expecting. This is a very well made watch with excellent styling. Per another review on here, the lume is not the focal point of this watch, but I’m old enough that it would take a lot of lume for me to actually read a watch at night anyway. I often find that excess lume is used to make up for lack of innovative style, which this watch doesn’t lack at all. I don’t usually get compliments on watches, but this one got a random compliment the first day I wore it! I almost went with one of the colored models, but there’s something so classic about the silver. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that the bracelet that came on this watch also has a micro adjustment feature. I also love the orange hands that contrast strongly against the more subtle dial.
If I had to pick on thing to change on this watch, I might polish the front of the bezel, but I appreciate that the sides of the bezel are polished.
Overall fabulous design and quality build. This one gets an A+ from me and it’ll be seeing a lot of wrist time.
Backed as a concept on kickstarter for the 70's styling.
The finished article is striking with its unique 70's vibe.
Lume is disapointing
the hands barely showing on my example!
Thank you for your review, Dil. The hands feature orange lume, which is a bit dimmer compared to the BGW9 lume on the hour markers. We appreciate you choosing Ferro & Company, and we hope you enjoy your new Time Master 70's watch!
The watch is very beautiful, the automatic watch is running perfect. Very accurate
I have been eagerly awaiting my TimeMaster 70s and it delivers - it is very slim, well-proportioned, with a perfect mid century modern dial style. The orange hands provide an great pop of color to contrast with the black and silver dial and steel case and bracelet. The tool-less micro-adjustment mechanism on the bracelet clasp is great for adjusting the fit throughout the day, and means that everyone can size this watch to fit just right. The entire design language of this watch is consistent with the retro theme, and flows together very well. The yellow display back glass is a nice retro touch as well, and the miyota 9 series movement is always a welcome, reliable workhorse movement that keeps good time. This watch has a strong and unique identity amidst so many watch models out there and is a welcome addition to my collection!
It’s been a long wait, but it’s finally here!! I ordered the Timemaster 70 with the optional ETA 2824 automatic movement. I couldn’t be happier. It looks so retro and it is of high quality. So happy with my purchase.
Let me start by saying that Brad made all the difference in me buying this awesome piece. Furthermore, their customer service doesn't stop when you buy from them. They are quick to reply and help with any question or doubt you might have after the purchase. The watch is breathtaking, it fits great on the wrist and it doesn't wear like a 42". I'm extremely happy with this purchase and for the price, I believe it is a bargain. This watch is quality 👌
Excellent quality product and an excellent price. Changes the watch's style and they look great. The quick release catch is very simple to use and very secure. Customer service is also exceptional and very fast delivery (Canada to Qatar in 4 business days!).
I love the watch. I’ve had numerous people comment on the styling. Comfortable band.
I bought the watch for my boyfriend who is a collector car fanatic and Porsche enthsiast! He immediately recognized the face of the watch and was so impressed with the detail and likeness to the Porsche tachometer!
The 356 is the perfect blend of style and craftsmanship. I’ve had numerous compliments on the great appearance of this watch. The dual layer dial is even more impressive in real life!
Beautiful watch just not in love like i thought i would be. straps are nice but not enough adjustments I have a smaller wrist and the straps only go to maybe a 7. So I spent extra money on adding extra straps to not be able to ware them 🙃. Just be aware
Damn good watch, that’s all there really is to say.
All the reviews talking about the finish quality and value for money are correct.
My only complaint if I had any is that there aren’t any pictures on the website that properly show off that domed crystal, which is one of my favourite parts
Bonjour , je suis très heureux d'avoir reçu ma nouvelle montre , qui est vraiment parfaite , (une nouvelle montre à ma collection ) , livraison rapide en France, sans surprise , je vais en parler à mes amis . Cordialement
Straps are great and easy to switch. Would purchase again.

I like the Gulf colors but often find Gulf inspired watches don't quite get it right. The colors, the offset stripe layout on this watch is fantastic. I got 3 straps (metal, orange, and black) and it's hard to pick a favorite. The customer service I have experienced from Ferro & Co. is also second to none. I will be purchasing from them again in the future.
Love everything about the watch. I was hoping they would make something like this so I jumped on when I saw the pre order. Couldn't be happier. Below is a pic of the watch beside my pilots watch.
Very nice watch, pay attention that it is a one hand watch only, unique racing style.
I ordered a Nylon Racing Strap Blue/ Orange for my DISTINCT 3 GLF watch which I love. I am about to order more as I really enjoy my watch. It's unique and some sort of awsome.
I have a large collection of watch straps from various brands, including two Ferro leather racing straps and they are at the top for quality. You will not be disappointed. The stock pictures on the website do not do them justice. Highly recommend.
My uncle bought me my first Ferro and Co. watch for my graduation from Yale, and I love it.
I appreciate the workmanship. It goes with everything: I wear it for concerts, work, and school.
This strap is absolute top quality. I was looking for a cream color leather racing style strap for a watch that I own that has a cream color dial and this strap was a perfect match. The stock photo does not do it justice. Highly recommend.
As an owner of Omega, Rolex, Bell & Ross, Cartier and countless Seiko, we have to support micro brands that warrant support. I saw this watch as an ad on Instagram and loved the vintage Gulf racing color scheme. I also appreciate the fact Ferro clearly states the movement without trying to disguise it. The Miyota is a Japanese workhorse, easy to maintain or service. Watch arrived within 2 days and pictures don’t do it justice. The colors are more vibrant and the case size and lug to lug is perfect for my 7” wrist. The leather perforated strap is picture perfect and the clear case back is a nice touch. If you’re on the fence, go for the automatic. Quartz is of course less, but a solid automatic movement is worth the investment. Very impressed with Ferro. Some microbrands provide exceptional pieces at a great price.
