IS300 Gear
I was wondering if there were any other owners out there who either have the IS300 watch or clok or both. I love both of them and like how people react when they find out what they are here are some pics.
I have the watch. I didn't know they had the clock.
The watch is very exclusive, it was not available in every dealer and a bit hard to find. I don't think I have seen anyone wear the watch and only people who have the IS300 will recognize what it is.
The watch mechanism is also exclusive. It is a 4 button chronograph with no crown. I don't think I have seen any watch with the same mechanism anywhere. Most watches, as you know has a crown and maybe 2 additional button for the chronograph but this one is a 4 button design w/o crown. To set the time on the watch, you press either of two buttons which advance the time forward/back by holding the button down. There is no crown where you turn to move the hands. The chronograph can be realigned this way as well. I just wish the watch had a date display but that'd not stay true to the chrono IS300 instrument cluster deisgn.
I am a watch afficiando and this one is definitely unique. To this date, I have never seen a watch with this movement. Is is possible they designed the movement just for this watch? Why?

I am also a watch fanatic and i have never seen anyone else with the watch but a few IS300 owners know about it but i know of no one else with the clock i guess cause it wasnt advertised where the watch is mentioned in the IS300 brochure.
