"It was a pleasure buying this watch. From purchase to delivery, it is a non stop joy to receive my watch. AERA obviously is a company that is proud of the product they make as well as taking the steps required to finalize the entire purchase. The result, a great and beautiful watch made by people who care for the customer. Well done AERA!"

"The team at Aera made the whole experience an unforgettable one! From initial interest and follow on Instagram to understanding the watches, brand and being able to participate in a webinar with the Aera team through to purchase was seamless. The pop up at Richard James was great to be able to see, feel and try on the watches to further cement the attention to detail the Aera team has. After trying the watches, I couldn't decide which one to add to my collection so went with both! I made a bespoke request to the Aera team to get both watches with matching ID numbers, which they managed to do for me.... To summarise, the team, the watches, the brand and the attention to detail is amazing. Thanks guys, keep doing what you do!"

"These watches are superb! I own both models and couldn't be more impressed with the quality and communication from the folks at Aera! They are very attentive both during and after the purchasing process. This sets them apart from every other watchmaker out there. I highly recommend them and I get many comments on their pieces. Buy a watch from them and won't be disappointed."

"I am thrilled with the watch and the whole experience. As a brand designer myself, I love the attention to detail and care taken in the packaging and unboxing experience. I fell in love with the watch when I first saw it and it's even better in person. The product and experience at this price point is pretty amazing. It's right up there with my Speedmaster as my favorite watch. Wish you all much success!"

"Great product, and great customer service. Unique interpretation of classic tool watches. Very responsive customer service department. I was a bit surprised, as I thought the watch would be good. The bands were very high quality."

Michael, Florida, USA

"truly a modern take on an old design. I love both of mine. The included watch bands are much better quality than I expected. The presentation was really nice."

"It feels like something I’ve always had and always will have. It’s timely and timeless."

"Although for years i did not wear a watch and didn’t miss its presence, today i am excited how naturally the shape, color and prestine detailing of the dial on my P-1 Pilot, complements my wrist and elevates my swagger…."

"It’s great to see how much effort Aera has put in to making a better product. The design is so simple. The curved profile of the Diver’s sapphire crystal and bezel is beautiful. It makes me think of Mother Earth. That’s a great idea. And I like the blue in the crown and the bezel, the blue of the Luminova at night, the rounded, hand filled dots. Nobody else is going to go to this level of detail."
