Is that monstrosity new? Invicta wasn’t on my radar so far as such a blatant copier…
I must admit I don't keep up with the Invicta catalogue so I have no idea

the Série-R, might appear somewhat derivative of another famous square watch connected to the racing world, but it has its own thing happening that sets it apart just enough.

Yeah, sure.

Well - the point is: TH has now priced the Monaco out of the reach of many watch enthusiasts.

La nature a peur du vide”… So, obviously, that wide open space for square sport watches is going to attract new entrants (more or less “inspired’ ones at that).

Coming out of France, you also have the rather pleasant square Cap Camarat by Herbelin (currently only as a 3-hander).

This is true. I'm certainly not paying £7k for a Monaco

Fair point and I actually like the Deponcel one, especially for the super cheap price of 995 Euros

From a quality perspective, there’s no doubt in my mind that Union Glashütte builds watches that are just as good as THs. And I suppose their price will be well below 4k.

So yeah - brilliant move to make the standard Monaco a 7-8k watch 👍 At the old price of 4k-ish for a McQueen or Gulf, potential clients for a square watch would have probably not even thought about NOT getting the “original”…

UG has some amazing in house movements. A pity that the company thought of going down the route of homages.
