THE WORN & WOUND PODCAST EP. 46: JASON LIM OF HALIOS WATCHES


JANUARY 10, 2018 WORDS BY W&W


On today’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast, Zach and Ilya talk to Jason Lim of Halios watches. Halios is one of the older micro-brands we’ve covered here on Worn & Wound, and it’s also one of the most beloved. In large part, that’s due to Jason’s keen design sensibilities—Halios has yet to produce a dud. In fact, each release builds on the one that came before it, showing an increased level of refinement with every new watch. Today, we talk to Jason about his brand, how he got started, and what the future holds in store. In the latter half of the episode, Jason answers some of the questions you submitted on Instagram.


Halios site is now back up and running.

CASE
MATERIAL: 316L stainless steel
FINISH: Brushed steel
DIAMETER: 48mm (without crown)
WATER RESISTANCE: 50 ATM
LUG-TO-LUG: 48mm
LUG WIDTH: 24mm
THICKNESS: 14.5mm (including crystal)
ROTATING BEZEL: 120 clicks, unidirectional


MOVEMENT
CALIBRE: Miyota 9015 self-winding movement
POWER RESERVE: 42 hours
OTHER: Quickset date display at 6 o’clock


TECHNICAL DETAILS
CRYSTAL: Sapphire, double-domed. Anti-reflective coating

WEIGHT: 207 g (on bracelet)
OTHER: Screwdown crystal, crown and caseback

DESIGN
In designing the Puck case, all extraneous surfaces, frills and elements were stripped away. The result is a 48mm slab of steel that is a tribute to the function-first, purpose-built tool watch.
While its dimensions might suggest an unwieldy size, its hooded lugs prevent any overhang on the wrist, resulting in a deceptively wearable presence on the wrist.

That baby blue Seaforth Dive Bezel really appeals to me. I wish the Pucks were somewhat smaller though, like 42-43mm.
