NEW YORK TIMES

"This year, Mr. Zillmann’s initial production run of 300 watches sold out within 48 hours. He has now sold about 1,100 units of his original watch, the HZ.01, to consumers in 60 countries, and he recently began accepting preorders for a second watch — a chronograph called the HZ.02. Like its predecessor, the chronograph is a watch that is proud to be quartz — and wants the world to know it."

TIME AND TIDE

"Hz Watches represent some of the best-value and most interesting microbrand watches on the market, offering extremely impressive specs and levels of finishing for the price while unashamedly celebrating their quartz movements in a way that most brands, small or large, are afraid to."

Worn & Wound

"Through taking advantage of the synergies between titanium and quartz, the HZ.01 weighs in at an impressive 45 grams (including the attached leather strap and titanium buckle)."

FRATELLO MAGAZINE

"Micro and independent horology is booming in Australia, and Hz Watches is one of the latest to take the stage. The brand specializes in quartz-regulated timekeeping devices and the celebration of this technology. Standout elements are the unbeatable spec-to-price ratio and the see-through case-back."

JUST ONE MORE WATCH

"Great to see a brand trying to do something a little different - a cracking grab and go retro chronograph."

TIME AND TIDE

"Not only is Hz’s celebration of quartz movements so refreshing, but the design of the HZ.02 Chronograph is also a breath of fresh air. The 12-hour bezel insert adds a level of real-world functionality that’s missing from many chronographs, and the HZ.02 as a whole offers a level of sophistication that’s very rarely seen in affordable chronos."

Peter Kotsa

"A really nice wearable experience, comfortable, lightweight, strong, and as a daily - ticks all the right boxes".

Just One More Watch

"Super comfortable, super light, barely noticeable, and rather stylish. Overall a well manufactured, and well designed watch that has well deserved to find a foothold in the market."

TIME AND TIDE

"A 38.5mm, titanium watch with a sapphire crystal and Swiss quartz movement, for nearly half the price of a Moonswatch - considering the price and what’s on offer, I find there to be very little to complain about"

Oracle Time

"I really like the way the watch looks, it’s a cool blend of industrial utility and retro charm. The HZ.01 reminds us is that quartz is useful, practical and affordable."

Watch Advice

"The HZ.01 has been perfect for me to wear thanks to both its size and lightness on the wrist. I love that the HZ.01 is designed to be versatile, you can easily pair this watch with any outfit, and it won’t look out of place."
