Franck DuBarry Revolution Fileteado GMT Watch Review

Since the GMT is probably my favorite complication, I stumbled upon a tattoo-clad, motorcycle marketed, little gem that caught my eye, provided a serious challenge to my typical sense of style, and stretched my tastes and appreciation - that watch was the Franck DuBarry Revolution Fileteado GMT - featuring an engraved case, an interesting stamped silver dial, and a GMT function Franck DuBarry's eponymous brand launched in 2016 and draws influence from art and history to create some pretty unique designs - the most interesting to me, being the Fileteado art style used in the Revolution GMT collection Fileteado is an artistic style well known in Bueno's Aires, Argentina, a place where Franck spent many years during his travels while developing a sharp focus in bringing the designs to his watches.

The Revolution Fileteado GMT pulls from those influences through and through - and the result is a brash, bold, and what many would call "Offensive" watch that caused me to go through many different opinions the longer I wore it I've seen my share of the latter, but the Fileteado GMT has some seriously high-quality engraving, though I do have my qualms with it - mostly due to how the engravings interact with the case shape The Fileteado GMT did neither, and for me, the gaps were glaringly obvious even if they were designed to draw attention to the case shape, and impair what would otherwise be a more a visually enticing engraving.

The third part of the watch's identity and the focal point of the Fileteado GMT is most definitely the dial. . Source
