True love or just fatal attraction?
Influenced by Nicolas and his latest posts of his stunning Memovox, I was doing some search when suddenly I came across this gorgeous thing:
For those like me who just discover this beauty, this RED Memovox is the number 1 of a limited edition of 3 pieces fruit of the collaboration with the Industrial design superstar Marc Newson, and was sold in a Sothebys' charity auction for an astounding 365k$.
I must admit my first reaction to this baby was a loud "wow" followed by a frenetic search in google of any possible information. It was clearly love at first sight. However, after few hours from the "crash", and probably time to reflect on my reaction, I started to wonder if a simple change of color in a dial can create true love, or i was simply trapped by the typical marketing move (in this case of a genius like Newson) of the LEs.
The watch is gorgeous, no doubt, but ... could I love this watch just for the make up of the central dial more than I love the original one?
Thanks PuristS for your valuable insights

I remember this one very well. I would say that you may get rid of it.
Quite eye catching, but how will you feel after several months? Best, Nicolas
Those are my thoughts
The RED is stunning, indeed an eye catcher, but I think it can not compete with the original in a long run. Cheers
What do you mean?
I wrote about my experience finding a striking Limited Edition of a watch that I love, and I was questioning if the value proposition of this LE -which is exclusivity by changing the color of the central dial- and my appreciation for it could stand the pa...
striking
It is striking but imho if you want red, you will have a love of a lifetime with either red reverso or Glashutte limited red 60s square.
Good recommendations
As a proud owner of a tribute 1931 black dial, i can not agree more with your suggestion. The rouge is a masterpiece, equally cool and elegant. Not seen in the flesh the GO yet. Tks!
Pictures from Sotheby's
I actually saw them 'live' in New York before the auction took place. They also auctioned off a special version of the Atmos, as you can see below. Claus ...
