Look at this innovative watch buckle from ArtyA - a watch buckle with a knife!

ArtyA will be releasing a watch buckle where you can pull out a small knife.  They call it the first self-defense watch buckle - you can use it to cut through a seat belt or cut a rope.

I think this would have been a great idea for Panerai given they are a "tool watch" brand. 

What you guys think of this?  Would you want a Panerai with a buckle that has a knife? smile

Cheers,
Anthony

I think it's not ergonomic, and i guess it's not practical to use. I wish Panerai will not do this kind of gadget. Don't tell me the name of this buckle is: "Son of a blade" ;) Best regards Fabio

It is an amazing idea

and definitely a very great function to have. Not so sure I would want to get into those arguments with the security folks at the airport lines though...

Suicide watch? the blade is well placed for that purpose.

If forum is non commercial - why is this being posted?

This is not an OEM product, so sellers logo and name should not be listed in the posting. No different than a non OEM strap If you make non commercial rules. It should apply to all non OEM products tickman

This is an OEM product made by ArtyA itself

Is this a product being sold by Panerai for their customers? No it's not. Guy make watches, but nothing affiliated with Panerai Therefor no different than someone listing the name of a third party Panerai strap which fits Panerai watches. Site rules Do no... 

I'm still confused ...

This is a buckle made by the watch brand ArtyA. Yes this isn't a Panerai buckle but it's a new buckle from another watch brand. This isn't an aftermarket buckle. There's nothing wrong with discussing another brand's products in our Panerai forum when it's... 

OEM product

 
 By: tickman : April 12th, 2014-12:01
OK. So if you go by the fact that his buckle is OEM to his company. I can say the same about my product. Although third party straps that fit Panerai. People have also used them on other watch brands. Unlike the vast majority of straps sellers that are pa... 

Unfortunately you are wrong

You are making an aftermarket product for a brand. There's nothing else to say here, so this will be my last reply on this subject. Hope you understand. - AT
