Watches, watches and watches. We love watches at New Labels Only. The last post we did was on WoodWatches and we had some really good response for the watch. But this time we are going to back to Hong Kong. If you have read our previous posts, you know Hong Kong is one of our favourite places for the latest watch brands. We had the Maven Artisan, Maven Enduring and the No Monday Watch from Hong Kong. This time we introduce Lobor Watches, especially their automatic skeleton watches collection.

The Dynasty Collection is also new to Lobor. There are currently 6 automatic skeleton watches in the Dynasty Collection, each more stunning than the next. The clear casing allows wearer an unencumbered view of its filigreed and ornamented automatic movement and it is just stunning.

We have been really lucky to be given the Dynasty Charlemagne from the Dynasty Collection to review and do read along to find out what we think about it and do watch the unboxing video below.

Unboxing of the Dynasty Charlemagne

Is it one of the best Automatic Skeleton Watches?

So what do we think about the Dynasty Charlemagne? Is it one of the best automatic skeleton watches in the market or is it just another knock off?

Well, lets starts off with the packaging, it is very simple and nothing which really stands out. Do watch the unboxing to see what we mean. But do not let the packaging deceive you because what’s inside is something really special. When you open the box, the Dynasty Charlemagne really stands out and will definitely catch your eye.

In terms of appearance the Dynasty Charlemagne has to be one of the best looking watches we’ve had. The gold jewels, rosegold casing and numerals along with the simple line pattern on the white dial work extremely well each to create something really exciting and compelling to look at.

Let’s get a bit more technical about the Dynasty Charlemagne. So we have Japan Miyota Automatic movement with 21 jewels, a hardened mineral crystal glass, a 316L stainless steel case, genuine Italian leather and water resistant up to 3ATM.

So how did it feel?

The watch is pretty light on the wrist and probably weight around 80g to 90g. The 41mm casing dial and 12mm width was prefect on the wrist and sat very well. However the strap was a bit hard and will take sometime to break into but that is definitely not an issue.

The movement was very smooth and did not lag. Being an automatic watch, movement is key but worked very well even with minimal movement. After 8 anticlockwise spins from the beginning, you do not have to worry about the watch stopping during the day.

When it comes to automatic watches, there is usually a ‘ticking’ sound from the movement. However from the Charlemagne, there was absolutely no sound.

Should you get one?

Based on today’s more blingy skeleton watches, with a cheap price tag but stop working when it’s hour hand does a revolution, the Charlemagne Dynasty is a watch to be desired and a must have. With a high quality craftsmanship and high quality movement with a solid 21 jewels to support the easy flowing movement of the watch, this is a must have.

Unisex by design, the model will suit any sex well depending on style and occasion.

Let’s talk about the price. Charlemagne cost HKD 1,638, which is around £146/ $210/ €168. This is definitely a steal as you are getting an impeccable watch, with looks that is irresistible and a movement without fault, so yes, you should definitely get one!
