Double Down

Farer’s popular monopusher chronographs, the Cobb and Segrave, make a long-awaited return, complete with an additional GMT complication. This essentially makes each model two watches in one, as it is exceedingly unusual to see both complications offered in one watch.

DETAILED DIALS

DETAILED DIALS

The dials of the Monopusher GMTs are a complex mix of elements and finishes, that are carefully crafted to be visually interesting yet easy to read. Each model has a different subdial layout, with the Segrave’s positioned at twelve and six, whilst the Cobb has them at twelve and nine. The Segrave, with its more muted monochrome dial accented with dashes of colour, is the more conservative of the two models, and so it is more suited to the symmetrical layout. Meanwhile, the Cobb, with its more adventurous blue and cream colour scheme better fits the quirky layout of placing the subdials at twelve and nine.

SLEEK AND SPORTY

SLEEK AND SPORTY

Both watches use a 41mm steel case, and the total thickness of the watch is 14.5mm. 2.25mm of that is the double-domed sapphire crystal, and this is to accommodate the longer central spindle required to stack four hands on top of each other. The case top has a sporty brushed finish, with polished sides engraved with a crosshatched ‘harlequin’ pattern that breaks up the side profile. Furthermore, the case is water-resistant to 100m allowing it to be worn almost anywhere without fear.

The Farer Monopusher GMT Cobb III is more than just a watch; it's a testament to the art of watchmaking.

Hand-Wound

Hand-Wound

Owing to the different subdial layouts of each watch, the hand-wound Sellita movement in each watch is different, though they are part of the same family of calibres. The Segrave uses the SW536 M MP, whilst the Cobb has the SW530 M MP a. Both movements offer identical features, incorporating a monopusher chronograph complication with a central chronograph elapsed seconds hand and 30-minute counter, operated by a pusher at two o’clock.


Both calibres are elaboré-grade, beat at 4Hz and have a 62-hour power reserve when fully wound. The only notable difference is in the jewel count. The SW530 in the Cobb has 25, and the SW536 in the Segrave has 29. The difference is because the SW536 incorporates an additional gear train to reposition the small seconds sub-dial.
