1815 AC is my choice

I was wanting a 1815 as I so much in love with the pocket watch nature of the series. It’s like you a buying a mechanical watch and the pocket watch style should be in the collection

The next question to me was to have a 1815 that suits everyday wearability I desired

The easiest choice would be a simple 1815
But the cutting of the 6 is bothering me a lot especially you staring it close
And I would more prefer a rose gold for this watch however it didn’t quite suit me in person

So I turned into the 1815 chrono which have a great calibre every watch lover dreams of. However it’s heavier and not as practical as a date function in office. Datograph is the real icon and why I near to wear my chronograph in office ?

So 1815 AC then came into the radar but the obvious competitor Saxonia AC having the sax-o-mat making the decision difficult.

Smy conclusion was, saxonia AC is pricey, is having an imbalance empty window, is having a short power reserve without a good fast forward mechanism, is having too much blue pointers in the WG version.

1815 AC however is having a fast forward with the MP! This is the feature moving me away from the 5205g. I can leave my watch unwind in the box and I just need a few push when I’m back from my trip. I don’t even need a watch winder, everything is corrected including the MP. And yes, the date is represented by a pointer but you wants a pocket watch like in the first place.

And back to the small date concern, you would only need a Lange 1. You always know yourself going to December and who bother to do just one push? More importantly, the empty window is aside not top right centre In the middle

Decision therefore made and yes 1815AC
