Hands-On: Echo/Neutra Combines Brutalism And Compact Elegance To Create The Rivanera Piccolo

On the wrist, these wear as dimensions would suggest, small. But that’s the point. It wears as a dress watch despite its sportier characteristics, and might really be a compelling watch for someone looking for everyday wear who doesn’t find the ornamentation of sapphire cabochons and the soft, rounded sides of traditional dress watches to be quite their style. Plus, with each model coming with a rubber strap in addition to a leather option, it’s a versatile contender. What the Echo Neutra team has done very well here is take their initial design and shrink it down to a much more wearable proportion, all while keeping its unique character. But don’t worry, if you’re large-wristed and find the Piccolo intimidatingly small, the original Rivanera design is still in the catalog.
