I like this Chinese watch more and more. Vager Hauers indeed looks amazing and has a brighter future than most other watches from China, especially those homage watches, certainly not including San Martin. When I go deep in China watch industry and wrote reviews on the watches made in China, I found many new watches in 2025, they do not simply copy the designs of Swiss watches, most of them have one common feature, which is integrating traditional Chinese culture into modern watch design, especially for this brand Vager Hauers, I have already introduced its watch in my previous post at https://www.bobswatchstore.com/2025/03/30/vager-hauers-watch-review-yuan-heng-li-zhen-twelve-shichen/, today, I will introduce another watch from them, it is a very interesting watch.
It it a Russian watch? This is the first impression it gave to me, its dial has a little bit Russian style, it reminds me of the Konstantin Chaykin Joker, but totally different. The dial has really impressive designs, it is like the face of a joker. The dial has a vertical brushing finish, the brand logo VAGER HAUERS is tridimensional. The fan-shaped window at 10:00 is a power reserve indicator with a twisted silver hand pointing at remaining energe. On its right side at 2:00, it is a round date indicator with a black dots pointing at current date. The date wheel has dark red, green and white colors, whose color combination is just in line with that of the small triangles around the dial, these small triangles as hour markers and minute scales are like the teeth. The green triangles are used as hour markers. The two eyes of the clown is a fun and playful design. At 6:00 clock, the red lip has a opening mouth that is showing a working tourbillon movement.
The movement inside is a Sea-gull tourbillon calibre, which is ST8001, it has a beating frequency of 21,600 times per hour, the power reserve is 38 hours. This is a manual winding tourbillon movement that has simple polishing on the plate. About inaccuracy, it is about ±15 seconds each day.
Conclusion:
It is an interesting watch with a good Chinese Sea-gull tourbillon movement. Quality should be ok and trusted. Its unique and playful dial design will also make you have some fun by replacing with some leather bands.
