Introducing the Richardt & Mejer Automatisk Collection
Long time readers will recall that way back in the summer of 2016, Zach went on hands-on with a curious watch from a small Danish brand, Richardt & Mejer. The Signature, their initial quartz offering, was a well priced timepiece with a decidedly unusual case design, with angles and geometry that we simply don?t see in most modern watches. Now, Richardt & Mejer is back with the Automatisk line. They?re still distinctly Danish, but now with an upgrade to a mechanical movement they target a slightly different consumer and have tweaked their design just a little, while remaining true to what the brand founders recognize as a shared Scandinavian design heritage.

The Automatisk is definitely an evolution of the Signature in its case design. The latter is more aggressively angled, while the new mechanical piece is softer in the case band lines. Where the signature verged really close to a pure rectangular shape, I think the Automatisk is more easily recognizable as what we traditionally think of as a watch. There are still plenty of sharp angles on the Automatisk, but they?re mostly reserved for the lugs, which drop off dramatica...
