This
is my current favourite...
-minimal 'excess' information
-'ALMOST' flawless performance (The instant jump does NOT happen PRECISELY at midnight...)
-beautiful case design
-right heft
Ok, reliability could leave a bit to be desired but this would have to be one of my all time favourite...
What is your favorite Perpetual Calendar and Chronograph Complication?
February 28th is right around the corner; watch lovers know what that means - perpetual calendars will self adjust and annual calendars won't self adjust. The chronograph is also a fun complication that is a perennial favorite by many watch lovers, thus i...
My uncured thoughts...
Which one do you like? I ironically like the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Traditionnelle Chronograph perpetual calendar. This timepiece really speaks to me and is one of my favorite pieces from Vacheron Constantin! Why do you like it so much? I really li...
Sorry picture attached..
Blancpain 4286. Beautiful picture previously posted by fellow Purist, Kong, in the BP forum....
Beautiful 4286!
I always liked the bezel on the Blancpain 4286, the double convex bezel makes a concave portion which is relatively unique in the industry. Nice watch and great choice!
Good question.
IMHO the best in this category is the PP 5970. Certainly the most attractive dial and case, and most iconic of these choices. Movement probably one step down from the Dato/perpetual, but overall a nicer watch.
In complete agreement...
But I've got to say, I find that Vacheron Constantin dial to be very beautiful; especially with the engraved moonphase. I suppose that if this Vacheron Constantin watch did not have this particular carved moonphase, I would like it far less. The Patek Phi...
I'd go for the Dato perp among your choices bro
but frankly because it doesnt have a 12 hour counter, nor does any chrono perp cal watch there is on the market just yet, none of them pass my test! But those are some good watches to own, if only i had the money! Thanks for the post! Stephen
I'm slowly getting over the lack of a 12 hour counter...
I completely agree with you, there is a high probability that I would be measuring something with a greater than 30 minute total elapsed time. I'm slowly getting but unwillingly becoming more accustomed to the fact that I have to live with a 30 minute chr...

Yes but I didn't find the chronograph functions of this nice Dubuis !

My vote goes for the Dato Perp
but I'm a bit biased. Anyway, it has, without doubt, the best movement, finish, overall quality and as far as the aesthetics, it depends to everyone's taste. It has the right proportions and the right weight (in platinum). It might not have the 'resale' v...
Wow! Awesome watch!
Thank you Aris for sharing these fabulous photos of this fabulous watch! A beautiful work of art.
Dato Perp for me
I would choose the Dato Perp -- however I will have to settle for the Dato and fantasize about the perp.
Very funny response, I'm sure that a Datograph is hardly considered to be "settling." [nt]
