The maker
Techne watches
Techne's SparrowHawk II gives the instrument-watch enthusiast counters and a 24-hour subdial to explore. The layout supplies the personality.
The Sensei take
A chronograph with its information in order.
Reference 477.153 puts that quartz chronograph arrangement into a 41.5mm case. The appeal is in the organisation of the face: how the displays sit together and how the hands remain the centre of attention. SparrowHawk II offers a focused introduction to Techne for someone who enjoys the graphics of a working instrument translated into a watch.
What we love
We like the organisation of the SparrowHawk II face. Its chronograph counters and 24-hour subdial give the eye several destinations, while the 41.5mm case provides the setting for those instrument-style graphics. The attraction is in the arrangement: how the displays share space and how the hands remain central to the composition.

We would picture SparrowHawk II as a casual watch whose detail supplies interest alongside otherwise simple clothes and accessories.
