One of these watches which made me dream and which still makes me dream. When discuss Rattrapantes, we most often forget it. Strangely, because it was a very good one. Here is the platinum, limited to 100 pieces Credit: Govberg. Movement side, taken by Cr...  

Yep!

I owned this one, but....

...sold it because of the poor legability. There was no contrast between hands and dial and this drove me crazy. Well I guess a small improvement would change the situation. The hands should be curved (it works well on IWC Portugeese with gray dial). Mayb...

Good idea to wear it again…

Indeed a beauty, esp. the movement; and so far I can still read it 😜 ...  

Legibility is my favourite pet-peeve with watches ...

... and especially polished steel/rhodium or white gold hands are really problematic. For me, perfectly blued hands would be the the logical choice for this watch. Marcus

You have a good point.

I've reconsidered over the years

For many years I loved the Senator Rattrapante and thought it was underrated. With a slightly more experienced eye for design, I can revisit it today and say the dial has problems. The date window at 4 o'clock does not provide proper balance to the off-ce... 

That movement is simply spectacular! Wow

Always liked this piece...

but like a lot of the modern splits, heft is an issue. Patek 5959 still the dream...

It reminds me of the GO Panograph I used to own

 
 By: loujo : January 24th, 2023-01:48
In the early 2000s, I was enamored with GO Panograph after seeing the watch in pictures. I loved the big date implementation, the unique chrono minute counter, and most important of all, the exquisitely hand finished manual movement with column wheel. I a...  

This one and the PT PanoRetrograph....
