the movement brings in the oomph effect !

the depth elevates the movement and equally well finished for a non-artisanally produced time-piece... great pics Nico. Best, mahesh.,
Beautiful shots! I actually prefer the 1815...

... the datograph design is iconic and recognizable from across the room. It definitely casts a shadow over the 1815, especially based purely on pics online. At the boutique in person though I found myself drawn to the silver/white dial 1815 and staring a...
Interesting, i perceived the dato to be much thicker.

I think the offset subdials also work on the 1815 just like the Dato. Look at all the other chrono’s out there and with the writing in top half of the dial the bottom half looks too empty. The 1815 is more “balanced” to me even if not in the standard symm...
Do you feel differently about the 5170 and 5172?

Those also have off-center subdials. Or perhaps another way of phrasing the question: would you feel differently about the subdial placement on the 1815 Chrono if the Dato never existed for comparison purposes?
