# Garrick S2 Central Seconds Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Garrick S2 Central Seconds is an elegant artisanal dress watch from British independent maker Garrick, featuring a lightweight 39mm Grade 5 titanium case, hand-guilloche dial in refined finishes like Alaska white, and a manual wind movement with central seconds hand for a clean, symmetrical layout and 72-hour power reserve, appealing to collectors who prioritize bespoke craftsmanship and subtle sophistication over sporty utility.

## Overall Watch Rating: 6.7/10.0

**Brand Metric (7.2/10.0)** - Garrick stands out as a high-premium independent British brand with exceptional hand-finishing, on par with the enthusiast appeal of Sinn or Christopher Ward.

**History & Innovation Metric (4.8/10.0)** - With under a decade of history, it offers niche innovation in guilloche dials and English movement finishing but trails established icons like Grand Seiko.

**Rarity Metric (7.6/10.0)** - Its $7,500 price and made-to-order low-volume production deliver scarcity similar to limited Tudor releases.

**Material Metric (9.4/10.0)** - Grade 5 titanium case, double-domed AR-coated sapphire crystals front and back, plus meticulous brushed/polished finishing exceed the quality of most steel divers like the Omega Seamaster.

**Movement Metric (8.4/10.0)** - The HB-T1 manual wind caliber boasts hand-guilloche bridges, Geneva stripes, 72-hour reserve, and reliable performance akin to refined Nomos movements.

**Complications Metric (1.2/10.0)** - Lacking any added complexities beyond timekeeping, it scores below even basic automatics like the Seiko 5 Sports.

**Functions Metric (3.8/10.0)** - Central hours, minutes, and seconds offer minimalist readability but fewer features than the versatile Tissot PRX with date.

**Dials & Design Metric (9.6/10.0)** - The intricate hand-guilloche dial, dauphine hands, and perfectly proportioned 39mm case rival the artistry of Patek Philippe Calatravas.

**Versatility Metric (7.9/10.0)** - Lightweight titanium, 100m water resistance, and timeless styling suit formal to casual wear, much like a slim IWC Mark XX.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.0
## TPS Interpretation: Average Value: Strong execution in design and materials is offset by basic functions, making it fair but not exceptional at its price point.
## WM Collector Grade: C
## Performance Insights: Shines in materials, dial design, and movement finishing but lags in complications and functions compared to price-implied expectations, delivering solid indie appeal at a fair value around the $2,500 mark.
