Curator's Note — Sugess Shanghai Sky Chronograph

This is the kind of watch that makes you question why chronographs cost what they do. The Sugess Shanghai Sky Chronograph is a hand-wound mechanical movement with genuine finishing — you can see the craftsmanship through the caseback. Paired with a 40mm case in 316L stainless steel and sapphire crystal, it punches at a price point where most brands are still selling quartz. The chronograph works. The lume glows. The leather strap ages beautifully.
