The last time we took a look at Richardt Mejer, it was in our review of their Signature collection. As the name suggests, that watch had a distinctive look that played off the brand?s Danish roots, speaking to Scandinavian design. It was a divisive watch, eliciting a love it or leave it response. As someone in the former camp, I found it a refreshing take on a design-focused watch (versus a more classically-inspired timepiece) that offered a lot of style at a decent price.

To follow up the Signature, Richardt Mejer released a watch simply called the Daily. As the name suggests, this time around it?s an everyday watch, which is to say it?s a bit less controversial in its design and a bit more ?normal.? And that it is. It?s smaller, with a more classic case shape, yet it still retains some of Richardt Mejer?s style, making it a clear relative of the Signature. Save
