What about a the Triple split?
Thank you for your report, extremely detailed.
The King is DEAD...long live the KING 🤴 😉
Ever heard the expression OLD Cow - NEW Cow ? In this instance, I think it applies well 🤣 Always considered the Double Split the original King of Chronographs but in my honest opinion the new MB&F Sequential Evo has dethroned the King. 2 different types o...
I’m this case I absolutely agree..
The MB&F is more impressive technically but the DS is more impressive visually on the back but not the front. Both great chronographs to have my friend.
Both brilliant,
but I am easily partial to the MB&F. It's mind-boggling without a doubt! Thanks for the pics!! Cheers, Filip
The DS is, inho, still the King.
The DS can do more with one movement than the MB&F can do with two. If you press the ten o'clock button twice, it will record and display the best lap or worst lap, with the hands either moving forwards or backwards! The MB&F is visually striking and "eas...
I see your point my friend but trust me when I say the Sequential Evo is superior in terms of being a pure chronograph...
The Double Split is more complex BUT the Sequential Evo CAN do what the Double Split does and also much more in a more practical and simpler way. I agree with you about the Double Split being a ground breaking reference, which it still is, but looking at ...
The double 10 function is not so well known.
As mentioned: if the best lap time is shorter, both hands (minutes and seconds) move backwards!
The Sequential Evo CAN do ALL the functions of the DS and many more my friend. You are more than welcome to borrow mine to find out for yourself. I have already used the DS, TS, and many other high end chronos to time events of different kinds...
The Sequential Evo just does it better, easier, and offers many more options 😉
While an interesting juxtaposition...
Let's go a step deeper... The king chrono should also be fit for a King. A great king doesn't need to be verbose, but true power is best displayed doing less, with an elegant boldness.
Two very nice pieces
I favor the DS of those two due to its timeless design. But are they the Kings of chronographs? To me, this leaves out of debate the Minerva MB hand wound chronographs. A king must not necessarily be the most complicated object, its also about doubtless h...
We all have our own opinions my friend...
But as a fan of Chronographs with triple digit Chronographs in my collection ranging from vintage to modern, monopushers to double Rattrapantes, Foudroyantes, manual winds, automatics, several from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000...
I'm with you, imho this is the new king of chronos
There are many beautiful chronos, many well finished chronos, many historically significant chronos, and many novel and complex chronos. I think there are truly few innovative and game changing chronos. Congrats on this pairing! In the same way the double...
No offense taken at all
And with only one chrono in the mid triple-digits I would not dare to challenge your collectors experience ;-) My point was that the interpretation of a King can vary and I don't share your criteria which are purely technical / innovation based in my unde...
I understood your point of view my friend. I wasn't giving you a monetary value of my chronographs, I was trying to say I literally have + 100 (3 digits) chronographs in my collection, hence why I can give an unique point of view on this Sequential Evo..
And how truly INNOVATIVE it is in terms of beig able to do things no other chronograph can do. It is a GAME CHANGER in this category and I cannot stress that enough 😉
Congrats and amazing pairing. This will
Require a very large wrist band if you go out in public! I love the look of the mb&f. It is amazeballs! I will have to do more research on both to give my final verdict but from pure aesthetics I like the mb&f more because if it’s fresh look.
